PRINCE - Goldnigga Pt. 1 lyrics

rate me

Hey, what up y'all?

NPG's in the house kickin' the gift

Talkin' about us livin' in an incubated society

And ain't shit changed in 20 years y'all

We just in a state of sobriety

That's right - this one is subject 2 justification

Cuz we shootin' 4 heads of state

Hmph, and 2 my brothers and sisters strugglin' 2 try and learn

Don't be confused by the term...

Ahh, Goldnigga - a term that might seem offensive 2 some

But one we've adapted - that means the money's earned

By the knowledge and creative efforts of a black man

Who can feel good cuz there's no blood on his hands

In a time when respect is gotten, not from what a leader might say

But 9 M's, Glock 7's and AK's

It's a shame, but that's the way it is

That's the reality of things - our state of mind has been twisted

Demented in the way that seems irreversible

2 much clout and status in the movers and shakers and people with pull

Instead of leading, we are being led

By generations of punk motherfu... Yo Tone, nuff said

Yeah, U right, but I must speak on this

Before me and my people die in this endless abyss

So as we go round and round in an attempt 2 get bigger

I send a shout out 2 all my fellow Goldniggaz

Stay strong!

CHORUS:

Goldnigga - we can turn this mutha out

Goldnigga - tell me what U're all about (Stay strong)

Goldnigga - we can turn this mutha out

Goldnigga - tell me what U're all about (Please, please stop!)

Get up, stand up, stand up 4 your rights

Cuz Goldniggaz don't go out without a fight

Mentality's 2 strong, we bring brothers who struggle along

Nevermind preachin' about the prior things they had did wrong

Cuz every new day is a fresh start

And I mean that shit from the bottom of my heart

I place this burden on the shoulders with an upraisal in effect

It's time we earn proper respect

(Please stop!) {sample repeats in BG}

Big up goldniggaz

CHORUS

(Yeah) (Come on, come on)

(Mmm, say it) (We, we, we like it)
