NWA - n***az 4 Life lyrics

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! The concrete playground But most motherf**ers only want you to stay down But I'm a smart motherf**er you see One of the best producers in the rap music industry Gettin' paid like a motherf**er A young brother, who don't give a f** about another Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? 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 I'm treated like a f**in' disease You say, why do I call myself a n***a so quick? 'Cause I can reach in my drawers and pull out a bigger dick, yo n***a say n***a we cool but Cracker say n***a, n***a knocked the f** up But I gotta be a fast n***a, to never be the last n***a Or I'll have to beat yo' a**, n***a In the city you see action first Then hear about it later in a verse I curse Because I'm real with this to keep my sh** straight bumpin' Murder, created by the streets of Compton Now get it from the underground poet I live it, I see it, and I write it because I know it And if you think I'm f**in' your wife You're motherf**in' right yo, 'cause I'm a n***a for life I love n***as, I love n***as, I love n***as Because n***as are me And I should only love that which is me I love that you n***as (n***as for life) n***a this, n***a that The actual fact is that I'm black and bound to attract The attention of another, I mean the other But I'm a motherf**er that'll have 'em runnin' for cover You see, I don't give a f** about nothin' Except gettin' paid, gettin' b**hes, and issuin' stitches Which is, all needed to read it and find a rhyme And then it's time to say, the n***a's here to stay But what about the fake n***as, the house n***as To get paid quick they gotta s** a fat dick But N.W.A. is outta your motherf**in' range We ain't gonna change a motherf**in' thang! I call myself a n***a 'cause my skin won't lighten I call myself a n***a 'cause the sh** that I'm writin' Hypes me, hypes other motherf**ers around me And that's the reason why they wanna surround me And ask me, why do I call myself a n******g-o? Ain't none of their f**in' business cause I'll let the trigger go So get out my presence and get out of my sight 'Cause MC Ren is a n***a for life You're a n***a 'til you die If you're a po' n***a, you're a po' n***a If you're a rich n***a, you're a rich n***a But you never stop bein' a n***a And if you get to be educated you just an educated n***a (I can dig it!) It's plain to see, you can't change me 'Cause I'mma be a n***a for life It's plain to see, you can't change me 'Cause I'mma be a n***a for life It's plain to see, you can't change me 'Cause I'mma be a n***a for life It's plain to see, you can't change me 'Cause I'mma be a n***a for life It's plain to see, you can't change me 'Cause I'mma be a n***a for life It's plain to see, you can't change me 'Cause I'mma be a n***a for life I'm a n***a, he's a n***a, she's a n***a, we some n***as Wouldn't you like to be a n***a too?
