| Song | I Ain't the Nigga |
| Artist | The Coup |
| Album | Kill My Landlord |
| 作词 : Davis, Riley | |
| (big bird) | |
| Now i shall tell a story that's filled with words | |
| That start with the letter n | |
| (dj pam cuts up "fly lyrics from the bank of reality" --> flavor flav) | |
| [boots] | |
| Step into the world of a nigger, figure | |
| To stay a little while so pack your bag up bigger | |
| First of all just let me introduce you seduce you | |
| Into a frame of mind that's easy to get used to | |
| Nigger hasn't always meant a man with melanin | |
| It used to be a piece of wood that sat on the cotton gin | |
| Masta put it there and it wouldn't move, smooth | |
| So what does it mean, to be a nigger with an attitude? | |
| You tell me that a nigger's crazy or lazy | |
| Not about the skin so, don't let it faze me | |
| Well you amaze me, with that ignorant bizull-shizzit | |
| Get a grip on the new fit | |
| Cause that's a lame frame of brain for the nineties | |
| I know the game so it don't sting, my mind sees | |
| So what the fuck you wanna race for the trigger | |
| I ain't the one, i ain't the nigga | |
| "if i'm a slave, i'm a slave to the rhythm" --> big daddy kane | |
| "you know that i ain't the nigga" --> ice cube | |
| (repeat 4x) | |
| (dj pam cuts up "niggers, love everything but themselves" --> last poets) | |
| [e-roc] | |
| Nigger is a word we use today, you say | |
| It don't mean the same if you spell it with an a | |
| But that's an argument that makes me itch, i twitch | |
| If i took the t out will i still mean bitch? | |
| My name is e-roc, and i ain't the nigger main | |
| Save your sellout strut shit for soul train | |
| Cause i've been known, to knock a motherfucker out | |
| Without a doubt, the coup gives me much clout | |
| But there's a factor when i know that my skin is brown | |
| And never ever will i put another brother down (gawwwd damn) | |
| So i make the mental rule to massacre the word | |
| Cause when i hear it, it gets, me straight stirred | |
| It's mental trash so i'm pickin up the litter | |
| I ain't the one and i ain't, the nigger | |
| My people use this word each and every day | |
| You see a nigger, slap a nigger, that's what i say | |
| "if i'm a slave, i'm a slave to the rhythm" --> big daddy kane | |
| "you know that i ain't the nigga" --> ice cube | |
| (repeat 4x) | |
| (dj pam cuts up "niggers, love everything but themselves" --> last poets) | |
| "boy i love playing the drums, i can do the grooviest rhythms | |
| I can do rhythms like.." | |
| [boots] | |
| My attitude is this (what?) don't call yourself a niggerole (why?) | |
| Unless you're just an oakie-doke it'll make you sicker though | |
| Cause it's all about a mind-time mind-frame | |
| The system is a chess game with, pawns all the same (haa haa) | |
| Until we change our mind to ? | |
| Identify yourself, it's a part of being concious (yeah) | |
| If i call myself a gangster then i'll rob you with a gat (yeah) | |
| If i call myself a brother then you know i got your back (yeah) | |
| If i call myself oppressed then i'm clear on where i'm at | |
| But if i call myself a nigger what the fuck is that? (yeah, you know) | |
| Don't be the coolie or the moolie or a boob with the jigger | |
| Don't be the one... don't be the nigga | |
| "if i'm a slave, i'm a slave to the rhythm" --> big daddy kane | |
| "you know that i ain't the nigga" --> ice cube | |
