I Ain't The Nigga

(Big Bird)

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

that start with the letter N

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

[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

"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)

If I call myself oppressed then I'm clear on where I'm at

But if I call myself a nigger what the fuck is that? (yeah, you know)

Don't be the coolie or the moolie or a boob with the jigger

Don't be the one... don't be the nigga
