[00:11.000]
[00:11.930] They say we N -- I - Double G -- E -- R We - are - much more,
[00:17.030] Still we choose to ignore, The obvious.
[00:19.580] Man this history don't acknowledge us,
[00:22.180] We was scholars long before colleges.
[00:24.670] They say we N -- I - Double G -- E -- R We - are - much more,
[00:29.400] But still we choose to ignore, The obvious.
[00:31.810] We are the slave and the master,
[00:34.150] What you looking for?
[00:35.580] You the question and the answer.
[00:36.980] We trust no black leaders, Use the stove to heat us,
[00:40.430] Powder eggs and government cheeses, The calendar was Martin,
[00:45.230] JFK, & Jesus, Gotta be fresh Go to school with fly sneakers.
[00:49.590] Schools with outdated books, We are the forgotten,
[00:52.990] Summers coolin' off by the fire hydrant.
[00:56.030] Yeah I'm from the ghetto,
[00:57.810] Where old black women talk about they sugar level,
[01:00.840] It's not unusual, To see photos of dead homies' funerals,
[01:05.000] Aluminum foil on t.v. antennas
[01:08.380] Little TV sit on top the big TV eatin TV dinners,
[01:12.150] Girls die they hair with kool-aid,
[01:15.380] They gave us lemons we made lemonade,
[01:18.110] But this nigga's paid, Ancestry of slaves,
[01:20.430] Descendant of Kings It's necessary I,
[01:23.590] Bling, Puts rings on every thing
[01:26.130] Where timbs on every scene.
[01:27.640] They say we N -- I - Double G -- E -- R We - are - much more,
[01:32.750] Still we choose to ignore, The obvious.
[01:35.410] Man this history don't acknowledge us,
[01:37.320] We was scholars long before colleges.
[01:39.960] They say we N -- I - Double G -- E -- R We - are - much more,
[01:45.000] But still we choose to ignore, The obvious.
[01:47.360] We are the slave and the master,
[01:49.840] What you looking for?
[01:51.490] You the question and the answer.
[01:53.000] Do I mean it like a slave master? NIGGER! No!
[01:57.120] I'm gangsta Gotta eat rappers!
[01:58.990] My abbreviation was young when I caught the cases,
[02:02.450] That should mean the court could see my changes
[02:05.070] Take off the bracelets,
[02:06.230] Savage when broke, Smoke sour diesel Need no Bo-flex
[02:08.550] My chest still cut-up like a bag of dope,
[02:11.900] Thought patterns consist of boss matters,
[02:14.530] Spit Moses' "Lost Commandments" Like a gross sandwich out my mouth.
[02:18.120] Toast to government cameras
[02:20.140] Peepin us every week I must have my cars homes & phones Squeaked for bugs,
[02:24.600] But this is what I was dreamin of,
[02:26.760] Between cutting hard coke with new razors Slicing my fingers up,
[02:30.300] They use to string us up, We wanted everything,
[02:33.640] But the one bringing us cake be the snakes Like the...
[02:37.180] Like the New Jack City wedding scene
[02:39.940] No time for mistakes trying to get it like
[02:42.850] They say we N -- I - Double G -- E -- R We - are - much more,
[02:46.910] Still we choose to ignore, The obvious.
[02:50.340] Man this history don't acknowledge us,
[02:52.690] We was scholars long before colleges.
[02:54.870] They say we N -- I - Double G -- E -- R We - are - much more,
[02:58.850] But still we choose to ignore, The obvious.
[03:02.160] We are the slave and the master,
[03:04.690] What you looking for?
[03:06.260] You the question and the answer.
[03:08.170] People afraid of criticism
[03:11.100] But I always put myself in a sacrificial position!
[03:13.710] They been know I ain't just rappin for fame,
[03:16.940] I got my old homie the father asking for change!
[03:20.040] Yep! I'd give this cash up This paper don't matter
[03:23.190] They seen me from skinny to fatter When I rap about war,
[03:26.290] They got the tendency to scatter,
[03:28.010] They ain't my backup no more,
[03:30.050] So now my enemies are at my front door,
[03:32.400] Cause any time we mention Our condition,
[03:34.190] our history or existence,
[03:36.020] They calling it reverse racism,
[03:38.310] Still till today the street's torn,
[03:40.590] My brother Jungle always have a seat for 'em Not behind me - beside me
[03:45.400] You'll always know where to find me,
[03:47.280] They say the close ones will hurt you,
[03:49.460] So let's keep a small circle,
[03:51.380] On the road to riches,
[03:53.280] and diamond rings In the land of the blind
[03:55.430] The man with one eye is the king.
[03:57.640] They say we N -- I - Double G -- E -- R We - are - much more,
[04:02.070] Still we choose to ignore, The obvious.
[04:05.410] Man this history don't acknowledge us,
[04:07.260] We was scholars long before colleges.
[04:09.440] They say we N -- I - Double G -- E -- R We - are - much more,
[04:14.190] But still we choose to ignore, The obvious.
[04:17.110] We are the slave and the master,
[04:19.740] What you looking for?
[04:21.100] You the question and the answer.
[04:23.680]
