Why you brothers insist on usin' the word n***a? Don't you know that's bringin down the black race? Personally I think the lyrics are a bit too harsh I ain't no n***a, f** that sh** Does everything come out your mouth got to be a 4-letter word? The way you talk about women is bullsh**, plain bullsh** Motherf**er I got kids, I don't want 'em listenin' to that bullsh** f** the n***as! Motherf**ers need to stop How can you call yourself a n***a and be proud of it? Flatline Bullsh**! Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? Well it's because motherf**ers wanna blast me And run me outta my neighborhood And label me as a dope dealer yo, and say that I'm no good But I gave out jobs so n***as wouldn't have to go out Gave up some dope on the corner so they could show out When the cops came, they gave a fake name Because the life in the streets is just a head game So therefore, to make more A 15-year-old black kid'll go and rob a liquor store And get shot in the process He ate up a nine bullet and now he's put to rest Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? I guess it's just the way sh** has to be Back when I was young gettin' a job was murder f** flippin' burgers, 'cause I deserve a Nine-to-five I can be proud of, that I can speak loud of And to help a n***a get out of Yo!

Because police always wanna hara** me Every time that I'm rollin' (rollin') They swear up and down that the car was stolen (this sh** is stolen) Make me get face down in the street (in the street) And throw the sh** out my car on the concrete (yeah) In front of a residence A million white motherf**ers on my back like I shot the President Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? Because my mouth is so motherf**in' nasty b**h this, b**h that, n***a this, n***a that In the mean while my pockets are gettin' fat Gettin' paid to say this sh** here Makin' more in a week than a doctor makes in a year So why not call myself a n***a? It's better than pullin' the trigger and goin' up the river And then I get called a n***a anyway Broke as a motherf**er and locked away, so So cut out all that bullsh** Yo! I guess I'll be a n***a for life n***as, crackers, Jews! If there's hell below, we're all gonna go! n***a n***a n***a n***a n***a n***a, please
