But Can You Kill the Nigger in You?

Lyrics

[Intro] "When I was a lad, we had indentured bond servants. Stout Cornish men and Scotsmen." "Indeed sir, indeed. And if one of them runs away you couldn't tell 'em from any other Englishman." "But take our black slave sir, and no matter how far they run they're always black." [Hook] Now you wanna kill me, that may be true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? Now you wanna kill me 'cause my lyrics is true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? [Verse 1] Quiet as it's kept, some of y'all slept on yourself Next time you hit the mirror, black, turn you back on yourself I wouldn't trust some of y'all if you was my right hand man I'd cut it off at the wrist like your name was Benedict Enough lead to threaten fifty niggas dead, you said 'Cause niggas is back to perms and relaxers all up in their head TV niggas only make you laugh, embarrass, can you catch it? Nigga fever, new season of modern day Step-and-Fetch-It's 1990's niggas be 'fraid of the noise I made 'Bout their master crackers giving out disasters in the hood Phony-honeys be gone when they money's be gone Niggaresses artificial chests' Posin fake hair and high dresses [Hook] Now you wanna kill me, that may be true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? Now you wanna kill me 'cause my lyrics is true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? Now you wanna kill me, that may be true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? Now you wanna kill me 'cause my lyrics is true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? [Verse 2] Mad niggas hittin' shit but they health be quittin' it Clothes and car makin' the men havin' counterfeitin' fit Seizing niggas be praisin' Benz and Beemers when they got 'em Shined and Simonized foreclosed but they grills be rotten Simon says, "Niggas, jump," and they jump for these Hilfiger's Tommy hates niggas high priced styles, white as wild rice Niggas be dwellin' in hell and the negroes pray for heaven Fuck the preacher, he don't reach, yo my nigga roll a seven Niggas be forgettin' trips about those slavery ships "Niggas wasn't there," they claim Fuck that, nigga bring the pain Niggas be dealin' narcotic but don't get the money, my nigga Women or the fame, my nigga, or the motherfuckin' game [Hook] Now you wanna kill me, that may be true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? Now you wanna kill me 'cause my lyrics is true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? Now you wanna kill me, that may be true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? Now you wanna kill me 'cause my lyrics is true One, two, but can you kill the nigga in you? [Bridge: Chuck D] Check it Brother Isaac drop it on the groove one time Let the beats check, check out your mind Brother Isaac Hayes [Outro: Isaac Hayes] Yo, yo, brothers, I say to you Become literate, study your history Then you know where you need to go Don't get socialy anesthetized, thinkin you got the rock When you got the pable Learn who you are Come together and survive It's time to learn to love again It's time to stand out and be near Think about your history And free it from your misery Learn to love again Now you wanna kill me, that may be true One, two It's time to learn to love again Now you wanna kill me 'cause my lyrics is true It's time to learn to love again Now you wanna kill me, that may be true One, two It's time to learn to love again Now you wanna kill me 'cause my lyrics is true Learn!
