[Intro: Malcolm X] The white power structure of today is just as much interested in perpetuating slavery as the white power structure was 100 years ago only now they use modern methods of doing so… [Paul Mooney] White folks made up n***a and don't want me to say it ain't that a b**h? You made it up you shouldn't have made it up! You f**ed up you shouldn't have made up n***a and you made up a song to go with it please don't make me sing the song Eenie meenie minie you know the god damn song I'm talking about and you change the words when you see black people [Nas] This is my opening scripture - I've been preparing this album My whole life, might be uncomfortable for most you listeners Satan's bombarding me with propositions, but I decline I started in the Bridge without a pot to piss in
I overcame all the opposition My teachers told that I'd a broken mayne on a cot in prison Cloaked in the finest drapes, not bathe in napes But we still filthy, Supreme Court say we still guilty This is the Genesis, and I don't even see a worthy arch nemesis I get loose like the Jena Six, they put a noose on 'Pac Now I'm defending Vick, and free that n***a TIP I'd take the grave or a bid To let some dirty clan members run up in my crib And plant cracks on the man that's going to church Plants packs on the man that's going to work And build cases, meanwhile they daddies and they brothers Is recruiting all my brothers and cousins to fill bases The nerve of y'all to call Escobar racist n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a, n***a hatred
