| Why do I call myself a nigga you ask me? | |
| Well, it's because motherfuckers want to blast me | |
| And run me outta my neighborhood | |
| They label me as a dope dealer, yo, and say that I'm no good | |
| But I can't find jobs, so niggas 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 fifteen year old black kid will 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 nigga, you ask me? | |
| I guess it's 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 mother fucker | |
| A young brother, who don't give a fuck about another, yeah | |
| Why do I call myself a nigga, you ask me? | |
| Because police always wanna harass me | |
| Every time that I'm rollin' | |
| They swear up and down that the car was stolen | |
| Make me get faced down in the street | |
| They throw the shit out my car on the concrete | |
| In front of a residence | |
| A million white motherfuckers on my back like I shot the President | |
| Why do I call myself a nigga, you ask me? | |
| Because my mouth is so mother fuckin' nasty | |
| Bitch this, bitch that, nigga this, nigga that | |
| In the mean while 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 pulling the trigger and goin' up the river | |
| And don't I get called a nigga anyway? | |
| Booked as a motherfucker and locked away | |
| So, so, cut out all that bull shit | |
| Yo, I guess I'll be a nigga 4 life | |
| Niggaz, crack heads, thieves | |
| If there's Hell below, we're all gonna go | |
| 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 draws and pull out a bigger dick | |
| Yo, niggaz say nigga we cool | |
| But, cracker say nigga, nigga not to fuck up | |
| But I got to be a fast nigga to never be the last nigga | |
| Or I have to beat your 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 | |
| And I 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 fucking your wife | |
| Your mother fuckin' right, yo, because I'm a nigga 4 life | |
| 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 mother fucker that'll have them running for cover | |
| You see, I don't give a fuck about nothing | |
| Except getting paid, getting bitches and [Incomprehensible] with 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 NWA is outta your mother fuckin' range | |
| We ain't gonna change a mother fuckin' thing | |
| I call myself a nigga 'cause my skin won't whiten | |
| I call myself a nigga 'cause the shit that I'm writing | |
| Hypes me, hypes other mother fuckers around me | |
| And that's the reason why they wanna surround me | |
| And ask me, why do I call myself a negroe | |
| Ain't none of their fuckin' business 'cause I'll let the trigger go | |
| So, get out of my presence and get out of my sight | |
| 'Cause MC Ren is a nigga 4 life, yeah | |
| You're a nigga 'til you die | |
| If you're a poor nigga, then you're a poor nigga | |
| If you're a rich nigga, you're a rich nigga | |
| But you never stop being a nigga | |
| And if you get to be educated, you's an educated nigga | |
| It's plain to see, you can't change me | |
| 'Cause I'ma be a nigga 4 life | |
| It's plain to see, you can't change me | |
| 'Cause I'ma be a nigga 4 life | |
| It's plain to see, you can't change me | |
| 'Cause I'ma be a nigga 4 life | |
| It's plain to see, you can't change me | |
| 'Cause I'ma be a nigga 4 life | |
| It's plain to see, you can't change me | |
| 'Cause I'ma be a nigga 4 life | |
| It's plain to see, you can't change me | |
| 'Cause I'ma be a nigga 4 life |
