1
[Chorus:]
2
They say we N-I double G-E-are, we are
3
Much more, still we choose to ignore
4
The obvious, man this history don't acknowledge us
5
We were scholars long before colleges
6
They say we N-I double G-E-are, we are
7
Much more, but still we choose to ignore
8
The obvious, we are the slave and the master
9
What you lookin for? You the question and the answer
10
[Verse:]
11
We trust no black leaders, use the stove to heat us
12
Powdered eggs and government cheeses
13
The calendars with Martin, jfk and Jesus
14
Gotta be fresh to go to school with fly sneakers
15
Schools with outdated books, we are the forgotten
16
Summers, coolin off by the fire hydrant
17
Yeah I'm from the ghetto
18
Where old black women talk about their sugar level - it's not unusual
19
To see photos of dead homie's funerals
20
Aluminium foil on tv antennas
21
Little tv sit on top the big tv, eating tv dinners
22
Girls die their hair with Kool-Aid
23
They gave us lemons, we made lemonade
24
But this nigger's payed, ancestral slaves
25
Descendant of kings, it's necessary I - bling
26
Put rims on everything, where tims on every scene
27
[Chorus:]
28
[Verse 2:]
29
Do I mean it like a slave master, nigger?
30
No I'm gangsta, gotta eat rappers
31
My abbreviation was young when I caught the cases
32
That should mean the court could see my changes, take off the bracelets
33
Savers went broke, smokes, our diesel, need no Bowflex
34
My chest still cut up like a bag of dope
35
Bought patterns consist of boss matters
36
Spit Moses' lost commandments like a growth sandwich out my mouth
37
Toast to government cameras peepin us, every week I must
38
Have my cars, homes and phones squeaked for bugs
39
But this is what I was dreamin of
40
Between cuttin hard coke with new razors slicin my fingers up
41
They used to string us up, we wanted everything
42
But the one bringin us cake be the snakes like the
43
Like the New Jack City wedding scene
44
No time for mistake, tryna get it like metering
45
[Chorus:]
46
[Verse 3 {Over Chorus}]
47
{My nig', what up my nig'? Yep! }
48
People afraid of criticism
49
But I always put myself in a sacrificial position
50
They been know I ain't just rappin for fame
51
I got my old homie hasslin to father askin for chains
52
Yep, I get it cash up, this paper don't matter
53
They see me from skinny to fatter, when I rap about war
54
They got a tendency to scatter, they ain't my backup no more
55
So now my enemies are at my front door
56
Cause anytime we mention our condition, our history or existence
57
They callin it reverse racism
58
Still to this day the streets torn - my brother Jung'
59
I'll always have a seat for him - not behind me, beside me
60
You'll always know where to find me
61
They say the close ones will hurt you
62
So let's keep a small circle
63
On the road to riches and diamond rings
64
In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is the king
65
[Chorus:]
