[Big Bird]

Now I shall tell a story 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 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 niggers crazy or lazy

Not a about the skin so, don't let if phase me

Well you amaze me, with that ignorant bizull-shizzit

get a new grip on the new fit

'Cause that's a lame frame of brain for the 90's

I know the game so it don't stain my mind see

So what the fuck, you want to race for the trigger

I ain't the one, I ain't the nigga



[refrain]

[Big Daddy Kane] If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

[Ice Cube] You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga



[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 man

Save yo' sellout strut shit for Soul Train

'Cause I 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 will I ever put another brother down (gawd damn)

So I made the mental move 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 nigga

My people use this word each and every day

You see a nigger, slap a nigger that's what I say



[chorus]

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga



[Kermit the Frog]

"Oh 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 nigger bro' (why)

Unless yo' just an okie-doke it'll make you sicker though

'Cause it's all about a mind tame, mind frame

The system is a chess game where moves are the same (ha ha)

Until we change our mind to rough from raunchest

Identify yourself it's a part of being conscious (yeah)

If I call myself a gangsta then I'll rob you with a gat (yeah)

If I call myself a brotha then you know I got yo' back (yeah)

If I call myself oppressed then I'm clear on where I'm at (what?)

But If I call myself a nigger, what the fuck is that! (yeah)

Now be the coolie or the moolie or the boob with a jigger

Don't be the one.., don't be the nigga



If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga

If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to the rythm

You know that I ain't the nigga
