Proclamation (Nigger Hatred)

[Intro 1: Malcolm X sample]

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

And, uh…

[Intro 2: Paul Mooney sample]

White folks made up nigga and don't want me to say it

Ain't that a bitch?

You made it up, you shouldn't have made it up!

You done fucked up, you shouldn't have made up nigga

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 folks

[Verse: 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 me that I'd be a broken mayne on a cot in prison

Cloaked in the finest drapes, not Bathing Apes

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 nigga T.I.P

I'd take the grave or a bid

Then 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 a racist

Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga hatred
