N.I.*.*.E.R. (The Slave and the Master)

They say we N-I-double-G-E-R, we are
 Much more, still we choose to ignore
 The obvious, man this history don't acknowledge us
 We were scholars long before colleges
 They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
 Much more, but still we choose to ignore
 The obvious, we are the slave and the master
 What you looking for? You the question and the answer
 We trust no black leaders, use the stove to heat us
 Powdered eggs and government cheeses
 The calendars with Martin, JFK and Jesus
 Gotta be fresh to go to school with fly sneakers
 Schools with outdated books, we are the forgotten
 Summers, cooling off by the fire hydrant
 Yeah, I'm from the ghetto
 Where old black women talk about their sugar level
 It's not unusual
 To see photos of dead homies funerals
 Aluminum foil on TV antennas
 Little TV sit on top the big TV, eating TV dinners
 Girls dye their hair with Kool-Aid
 They gave us lemons, we made lemonade
 But this nigga's paid, ancestry of slaves
 Descendant of kings, it's necessary I bling
 Put rims on everything, wear Timbs on every scene
 They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
 Much more, still we choose to ignore
 The obvious, man this history don't acknowledge us
 We were scholars long before colleges
 They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
 Much more, but still we choose to ignore
 The obvious, we are the slave and the master
 What you looking for? You the question and the answer
 Do I mean it like a slave master, nigga?
 No, I'm gangsta, gotta eat rappers
 My abbreviation was young when I caught the cases
 That should mean the court could see my changes
 Take off the bracelets
 Savage when broke, smoke sour diesel, need no Bowflex
 My chest still cut up like a bag of dope
 Thought patterns consist of boss matters
 Spit Moses' lost commandments like a gross sandwich out my mouth
 Toast to government cameras peeping us, every week I must
 Have my cars, homes and phones squeaked for bugs
 But this is what I was dreaming of
 Between cutting hard coke with new razors slicing my fingers up
 They used to string us up, we wanted everything
 But the one bringing us cake be the snakes like the
 Like the New Jack City wedding scene
 No time for mistakes, trying to get it like Medellin
 They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
 Much more, still we choose to ignore
 The obvious, man this history don't acknowledge us
 We were scholars long before colleges
 They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
 Much more, but still we choose to ignore
 The obvious, we are the slave and the master
 What you looking for? You the question and the answer
 My nig', what up my nig'? Yep!
 People afraid of criticism
 But I always put myself in a sacrificial position
 They been know I ain't just rapping for fame
 I got my old homie's half-sister father asking for chains
 Yep, I give the cash up, this paper don't matter
 They see me from skinny to fatter, when I rap about war
 They got a tendency to scatter, they ain't my backup no more
 So now my enemies are at my front door
 'Cause anytime we mention our condition, our history or existence
 They calling it reverse racism
 Still to this day the streets torn, my brother Jung'
 I'll always have a seat for him, not behind me, beside me
 You'll always know where to find me
 They say the close ones will hurt you
 So let's keep a small circle
 On the road to riches and diamond rings
 In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is the king
 They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
 Much more, still we choose to ignore
 The obvious, man this history don't acknowledge us
 We were scholars long before colleges
 They say we N-I double G-E-R, we are
 Much more, but still we choose to ignore
 The obvious, we are the slave and the master
 What you looking for? You the question and the answer
