Niggaz 4 Life

[Spoken: Various] Why you brothers insist on usin' the word 'nigga'? Don't you know that's bringin' down the black race? Nigga, nigga, nigga, that's all I hear you motherfuckers talk about is nigga You can do what you want, just keep it out of my neighborhood Personally, I think the lyrics are a bit too harsh I ain't no nigga, fuck that shit Does everything come out your mouth got to be a four-letter word? All over this bullshit, it's just a bunch of fuckin' noise The way you talk about women is bullshit, plain bullshit What you motherfuckers doin' for the black community anyway? Motherfucker, I got kids, I don't want 'em listenin' to that bullshit Fuck the niggas! Motherfuckers need to stop How can you call yourself a nigga and be proud of it? Flatline Bullshit! [Verse 1: MC Ren] Why do I call myself a nigga you ask me? Well, it's because motherfuckers 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 niggas wouldn't have to go out Gave 'em some dope and a 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 fifteen-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 [Verse 2: Dr. Dre] Why do I call myself a nigga you ask me? I guess it's just the way shit has to be Back when I was young, gettin' a job was murder Fuck flippin' burgers 'cause I deserve a Nine-to-five I can be proud of, that I can speak loud of And to help a nigga get out of Yo, the concrete playground But most motherfuckers only want you to stay down But I'm a smart motherfucker, you see One of the best producers in the rap music industry Gettin' paid like a motherfucker A young brother, who don't give a fuck about another Yeah [Verse 3: MC Ren] Why do I call myself a nigga you ask me? Because police always wanna harass me Every time that I'm rollin' (Rollin') They swear up and down that the car was stolen Make me get face down in the street (In the street) And throw the shit out my car on the concrete (Yeah) In front of a residence A million white motherfuckers on my back like I shot the President [Verse 4: Dr. Dre] Why do I call myself a nigga you ask me? Because my mouth is so motherfuckin' nasty Bitch this, bitch that, nigga this, nigga that In the meanwhile, my pockets are gettin' fat Gettin' paid to say this shit here Makin' more in a week than a doctor makes in a year So why not call myself a nigga? It's better than pullin' the trigger and goin' up the river And then I get called a nigga anyway Broke as a motherfucker and locked away, so So cut out all that bullshit Yo, I guess I'll be a nigga for life [Interlude: Eazy-E] Niggas, crackers, jews! If there's Hell below, we're all gonna go! [Verse 5: Eazy-E] Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, please I'm treated like a fuckin' disease You say, why do I call myself a nigga so quick? 'Cause I can reach in my drawers and pull out a bigger dick, yo Nigga say nigga we cool but Cracker say nigga, nigga knocked the fuck up But I gotta be a fast nigga, to never be the last nigga Or I'll have to beat yo ass, nigga 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 shit 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 fuckin' your wife You're motherfuckin' right, yo 'Cause I'm a nigga for life [Bridge] I love niggas, I love niggas, I love niggas Because niggas are me And I should only love that which is me I love to see niggas ("Niggas for life") [Verse 6: Dr. Dre] Nigga this, nigga 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 motherfucker that'll have 'em runnin' for cover You see, I don't give a fuck about nothin' Except gettin' paid, gettin' bitches, and issuin' stitches Which is all needed to read it and find a rhyme And then it's time to say, the nigga's here to stay But what about the fake niggas, the house niggas? To get paid quick, they gotta suck a fat dick But N.W.A. is outta your motherfuckin' range We ain't gonna change a motherfuckin' thang! [Verse 7: MC Ren] I call myself a nigga 'cause my skin won't lighten I call myself a nigga 'cause the shit that I'm writin' Hypes me, hypes other motherfuckers around me And that's the reason why they wanna surround me And ask me, why do I call myself a negro? Ain't none of their fuckin' business 'cause I'll let the trigger go So get out my presence and get out of my sight 'Cause MC Ren is a nigga for life, yeah [Spoken Interlude] You're a nigga 'til you die If you're a po' nigga, you're a po' nigga If you're a rich nigga, you're a rich nigga But you never stop bein' a nigga And if you get to be educated you just an educated nigga ("I can dig it!")
