I Ain't The Nigga

(Big Bird)



Now I shall tell a story that's filled with words



that start with the letter N



(DJ Pam cuts up "Fly lyrics from the bank of reality" --> Flavor Flav)



[Boots]



Step into the world of a nigger, figure



to stay a little while so pack your bag up bigger



First of all just let me introduce you seduce you



into a frame of mind that's easy to get used to



Nigger hasn't always meant a man with melanin



It used to be a piece of wood that sat on the cotton gin



Masta put it there and it wouldn't move, smooth



So what does it mean, to be a Nigger With an Attitude?



You tell me that a nigger's crazy or lazy



Not about the skin so, don't let it faze me



Well you amaze me, with that ignorant bizull-shizzit



Get a grip on the new fit



Cause that's a lame frame of brain for the nineties



I know the game so it don't sting, my mind sees



So what the fuck you wanna race for the trigger



I ain't the one, I ain't the nigga



"If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rhythm" --> Big Daddy Kane



"You know that I ain't the nigga" --> Ice Cube

[E-Roc]



Nigger is a word we use today, you say



It don't mean the same if you spell it with an A



But that's an argument that makes me itch, I twitch



If I took the T out will I still mean bitch?



My name is E-Roc, and I ain't the nigger main



Save your sellout strut shit for Soul Train



Cause I've been known, to knock a motherfucker out



Without a doubt, The Coup gives me much clout



But there's a factor when I know that my skin is brown



And never ever will I put another brother down (gawwwd damn)



So I make the mental rule to massacre the word



Cause when I hear it, it gets, me straight stirred



It's mental trash so I'm pickin up the litter



I ain't the one and I ain't, the nigger



My people use this word each and every day



You see a nigger, slap a nigger, that's what I say



"If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rhythm" --> Big Daddy Kane



"You know that I ain't the nigga" --> Ice Cube



(repeat 4X)

"Boy I love playing the drums, I can do the grooviest rhythms



I can do rhythms like.."



[Boots]



My attitude is this (what?) don't call yourself a niggerole (why?)



Unless you're just an oakie-doke it'll make you sicker though



Cause it's all about a mind-time mind-frame



The system is a chess game with, pawns all the same (haa haa)



Until we change our mind to ?



Identify yourself, it's a part of being concious (yeah)



If I call myself a gangster then I'll rob you with a gat (yeah)



If I call myself a brother then you know I got your back (yeah)
