1
Say ho, everybody say ho
2
By the way yo
3
I said shake your soul like way back in the day-yo
4
By the way yo, everybody say ho
5
Everybody say,
6
Everybody say
7
And check it out now
8
Who is the cat eating out on the town
9
And make the whole dining room turn they head round
10
Mr Nigga, Nigga Nigga
11
He got the speakers in the trunk with the bass on crunk
12
Who be riding up in the high rise elevator
13
Other tenants who be praying they ain't the new neighbor
14
Mr Nigga, Nigga Nigga
15
They try to play him like a chump cause he got what they want
16
He under thirty years old but already he's a pro
17
Designer trousers slung low cause his pockets stay swoll'
18
Could afford to get up and be anywhere he go
19
V.I.P. at the club, backstage at the show
20
(Yes y'all) the best crib, the best clothes
21
Hottest whips on the road neck and wrists on froze (say word)
22
Checks with O's o-o-o-o-ohs
23
Straight all across the globe watch got three time-zones
24
Keep the digital phone up to his dome
25
Two assistants, two bank accounts, two homes
26
One problem; even with the O's on his check
27
The po-po stop him and show no respect
28
"Is there a problem officer?" Damn straight, it's called race
29
That motivate the jake (woo-woo) to give chase
30
Say they want you successful, but that ain't the case
31
You living large, your skin is dark they flash a light in your face
32
Now, who is cat dining out on the town
33
Maitre'd wanna take a whole year to sit him down
34
Mr Nigga, Nigga Nigga
35
He got the speakers in the trunk with the bass on crunk
36
Now, who is the cat at Armani buying wears
37
With the tourists who be asking him, do you work here?
38
Mr Nigga, Nigga Nigga
39
Nigga Nigga
40
Yo, the Abstract with the Mighty Mos Def
41
White folks got it muffled across beneath they breathe
42
"I didn't say it"
43
But they'll say it out loud again
44
When they get with they close associates and friends
45
You know, sneak it in with they friends at the job
46
Happy hour at the bar while this song is in they car
47
And even if they've never said it, lips stay sealed
48
They actions reveal how their hearts really feel
49
Like, late night I'm on a first class flight
50
The only brother in sight the flight attendant catch fright
51
I sit down in my seat, 2C
52
She approach officially talking about, "Excuse me"
53
Her lips curl up into a tight space
54
Cause she don't believe that I'm in the right place
55
Showed her my boarding pass, and then she sort of gasped
56
All embarrassed put an extra lime on my water glass
57
An hour later here she comes by walking past
58
"I hate to be a pest but my son would love your autograph"
59
(Wow, Mr. Nigga I love you, I have all your albums!)
60
They stay on nigga patrol on american roads
61
And when you travel abroad they got world nigga law
62
Some folks get on a plane go as they please
63
But I go over seas and I get over-seized
64
London Heathrow, me and my people
65
They think that illegal's a synonym for negro
66
Far away places, customs agents flagrant
67
They think the dark face is smuggle weight in they cases
68
Bags inspected, now we arrested
69
Attention directed to contents of our intestines
70
Urinalysis followed by X-rays
71
Interrogated and detained til damn near the next day
72
No evidence, no apology and no regard
73
Even for the big american rap star
74
For us especially, us most especially
75
A Mr Nigga VIP jail cell just for me
76
"If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake
77
Just got some shoe-polish, painted my face"
78
They say they want you successful, but then they make it stressful
79
You start keeping pace, they start changing up the tempo
80
Now, who is cat riding out on the town
81
State trooper wanna stop him in his ride, pat him down
82
Mr Nigga, Nigga Nigga
83
He got the speakers in the trunk with the bass on crunk
84
Now, who is the cat with the hundred dollar bill
85
They gotta send it to the back to make sure the shit is real
86
Mr Nigga, Nigga Nigga
87
Nigga Nigga, Nigga
88
You can laugh and criticize Michael Jackson if you wanna
89
Woody Allen, molested and married his step-daughter
90
Same press kicking dirt on Michael's name
91
Show Woody and Soon-Yi at the playoff game, holding hands
92
Sit back and just bug, think about that
93
Would he get that type of dap if his name was Woody Black?
94
O.J. found innocent by a jury of his peers
95
And they been fucking with that nigga for last five years
96
Is it fair, is it equal, is it just, is it right?
97
Do you do the same shit when the defendant face is white?
98
If white boys doing it, well, it's success
99
When I start doing, well, it's suspect
100
Don't hate me, my folks is poor, I just got money
101
America's five centuries deep in cotton money
102
You see a lot of brothers caked up, yo straight up
103
It's new, y'all living off of slave traders paper
104
But I'm a live though, yo I'm a live though
105
I'm putting up the big swing for my kids yo
106
Got my mom the fat water-front crib yo
107
I'm a get her them pretty bay windows
108
I'm a cop a nice home to provide in
109
A safe environment for seeds to reside in
110
A fresh whip for my whole family to ride in
111
And if I'm still Mr Nigga, I won't find it suprising
