[Nas - Proclamation Nigger Hatred lyrics]
The white power structure of today is just
As much interested in perpetuating slavery
As the white power structure
Was 100 years ago
Only now they use modern methods of doing so
And, uh
White folks made up nigga and don't
Want me to say it ain't that a bitch?
You made it up
You shouldn't have made it up!
You done fucked up
You shouldn't have made up nigga
And you made up a song to go with it
Please don't make me sing the song
Eenie meenie minie
You know the god damn song I'm talking about
And you change the words when
You see black folks
This is my opening scripture -
I've been preparing this album
My whole life
Might be uncomfortable for most you listeners
Satan's bombarding me with propositions
But I decline
I started in the Bridge without
A pot to piss in
I overcame all the opposition
My teachers told that I'd a broken
Mayne on a cot in prison
Cloaked in the finest drapes
Not Bathing Apes but we still filthy
Supreme Court say we still guilty
This is the Genesis
And I don't even see a worthy arch nemesis
I get loose like the Jena Six
They put a noose on 'Pac
Now I'm defending Vick
And free that nigga TIP
I'd take the grave or a bid
Then let some dirty clan members
Run up in my crib
And plant cracks on the man
That's going to church
Plants packs on the man that's going to work
And build cases
Meanwhile they daddies and they brothers
Is recruiting all my brothers and
Cousins to fill bases
The nerve of y'all to call Escobar a racist
Nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga
Nigga hatred
As much interested in perpetuating slavery
As the white power structure
Was 100 years ago
Only now they use modern methods of doing so
And, uh
White folks made up nigga and don't
Want me to say it ain't that a bitch?
You made it up
You shouldn't have made it up!
You done fucked up
You shouldn't have made up nigga
And you made up a song to go with it
Please don't make me sing the song
Eenie meenie minie
You know the god damn song I'm talking about
And you change the words when
You see black folks
This is my opening scripture -
I've been preparing this album
My whole life
Might be uncomfortable for most you listeners
Satan's bombarding me with propositions
But I decline
