N.W.A. - Niggaz 4 Life lyrics

rate me

Why do I call myself a nigger, you ask me?

Well it's because motherfuckers want to blast me

And run me outa my neighborhood

They label me as a dope dealer

Yo! And say that I'm no good

But I can't find jobs so niggers 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 nigger, 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 a deserve a nine-to-five I can be proud of

That I can speak loud of

And to help a nigger 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

Why do I call myself a nigger, 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 nigger, you ask me?

Because my mouth is so mother fuckin nasty

Bitch this, bitch that

Nigger this, nigger 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 nigger?

It's better than pulling the trigger and goin up the river

And don't I get called a nigger anyway?

Booked as a motherfucker and locked away

So... so, cut out all that bull shit

Yo! I guess I'll be a nigga for life

{ Niggers, crack-heads, thieves.

If there's a hell below, we're all gonna go. }

Nigger. Nigger. Nigger

Nigger. Nigger

Nigger, please

I'm treated like a fuckin disease.

You say: why can I call myself a nigger so quick?

Cause I can reach in my draws and pull out a bigger dick

Yo! niggers say nigger we cool

But, cracker say nigger not to fuck up

But I got to be a fast nigger

Not to be the last nigger

Or I have to beat your ass, nigger

In the city you see action first

Then hear about it later

In a verse I curse

Because I [?] with this to keep my shit straight bumpin'

Murder created by the streets of Compton

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 nigger for Life

Nigger, this

Nigger, 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 [?] with stitches

Which is all needed to read it and find a rhyme

And then it's time to say

The nigger's here to stay

But what about the fake niggers, the house niggers

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 nigger 'cause my skin won't whiten

I call myself a nigger 'cause the shit that I'm writing

Hypes me, hypes other mother fuckers around me

And that's the reason why they want to surround me

And ask me: why do I call myself a nigger-o

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 nigger for Life

You're a nigger 'til you die

If you're a poor nigger, then you're a poor nigger

If you're a rich nigger, you're a rich nigger

But you never stop being a nigger

And if you get to be educated, you's an education nigger

It's plain to see, you can't change me

'Cause I'm a be a nigger for Life
