n*ggaz 4 Life lyrics

[Opening dialogue]
Why you brothers insist on usin' the word n*gga?
Don't you know that's bringin' down the black race?
n*gga n*gga n*gga that's all I hear you motherf*ckers talk about is n*gga
You can do what you want, just keep it out of my neighborhood
Personally I think the lyrics are a bit too harsh
I ain't no n*gga, f*ck that sh*t
Does everything come out your mouth got to be a 4-letter word?
All over this bullsh*t, it's just a bunch of f*ckin' noise
The way you talk about women is bullsh*t, plain bullsh*t
What you motherf*ckers doin' for the black community anyway?
Motherf*cker I got kids, I don't want 'em listenin' to that bullsh*t
{*hospital monitor starts beeping*}
f*ck the n*ggas!
Motherf*ckers need to stop
How can you call yourself a n*gga and be proud of it?
{*monitor stops beeping - R.I.P.*}
[Orderly] Flatline
[Dr. Dre] Bullsh*t!

[Verse 1: MC Ren]
Why do I call myself a n*gga you ask me?
Well it's because motherf*ckers wanna blast me
And run me outta my neighborhood
And label me as a dope dealer yo, and say that I'm no good
But I gave out jobs so n*ggas wouldn't have to go out
Gave em some dope and a 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 15-year-old black kid'll 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
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]
Why do I call myself a n*gga you ask me?
I guess it's just the way sh*t has to be
Back when I was young gettin' a job was murder
f*ck flippin' burgers, cause I deserve a
Nine-to-five I can be proud of, that I can speak loud of
And to help a n*gga get out of
Yo! The concrete playground
But most motherf*ckers only want you to stay down
But I'm a smart motherf*cker you see
One of the best producers in the rap music industry
Gettin' paid like a motherf*cker
A young brother, who don't give a f*ck about another
Yeah

[Verse 3: MC Ren]
Why do I call myself a n*gga 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 face down in the street
And throw the sh*t out my car on the concrete
In front of a residence
A million white motherf*ckers on my back like I shot the President

[Verse 4: Dr. Dre]
Why do I call myself a n*gga you ask me?
Because my mouth is so motherf*ckin' nasty
b*tch this, b*tch that, n*gga this, n*gga that
In the mean while my pockets are gettin' fat
Gettin' paid to say this sh*t here
Makin' more in a week than a doctor makes in a year
So why not call myself a n*gga?
It's better than pullin' the trigger and goin' up the river
And then I get called a n*gga anyway
Broke as a motherf*cker and locked away, so
So cut out all that bullsh*t
Yo! I guess I'll be a n*gga for life
[Interlude: Eazy-E]
n*ggas, crackers, jews!
If there's hell below, we're all gonna go!

[Verse 5: Eazy-E]
n*gga n*gga n*gga n*gga n*gga n*gga, please
I'm treated like a f*ckin' disease
You say - why do I call myself a n*gga so quick?
Cause I can reach in my drawers and pull out a bigger di*k, yo
n*gga say n*gga we cool but
Cracker say n*gga, n*gga knocked the f*ck up
But I gotta be a fast n*gga, to never be the last n*gga
Or I'll have to beat yo' ass, n*gga
In the city you see action first
Then hear about it later in a verse I curse
Because I'm real with this to keep my sh*t straight bumpin
Murder, created by the streets of Compton
Now 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 f*ckin' your wife
You're motherf*ckin' right, yo
'Cause I'm a n*gga for life

[Bridge]
I love n*ggas, I love n*ggas, I love n*ggas
Because n*ggas are me
And I should only love that which is me
I love to see n*ggas ("n*ggas for life")
[Verse 6: Dr. Dre]
n*gga this, n*gga 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 motherf*cker that'll have 'em runnin' for cover
You see, I don't give a f*ck about nothin'
Except gettin' paid, gettin' b*tches, and issuin' stitches
Which is, all needed to read it and find a rhyme
And then it's time to say, the n*gga's here to stay
But what about the fake n*ggas, the house n*ggas
To get paid quick they gotta suck a fat di*k
But N.W.A. is outta your motherf*ckin' range
We ain't gonna change a motherf*ckin' thang!

[Verse 7: MC Ren]
I call myself a n*gga cause my skin won't lighten
I call myself a n*gga cause the sh*t that I'm writin
Hypes me, hypes other motherf*ckers around me
And that's the reason why they wanna surround me
And ask me - why do I call myself a negro?
Ain't none of their f*ckin' business cause I'll let the trigger go
So get out my presence and get out of my sight
Cause MC Ren is a n*gga for life

[Final dialogue]
You're a n*gga 'til you die
If you're a po' n*gga, you're a po' n*gga
If you're a rich n*gga, you're a rich n*gga
But you never stop bein' a n*gga
And if you get to be educated you just an educated n*gga
("I can dig it!")

[Outro: N.W.A.]
It's plain to see, you can't change me
Cause imma be a n*gga for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
Cause imma be a n*gga for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
Cause imma be a n*gga for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
Cause imma be a n*gga for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
Cause imma be a n*gga for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
Cause Imma be a n*gga for life

{*static noise*}

[Eazy-E (singing a jingle)]
I'm a n*gga, he's a n*gga, she's a n*gga, we some n*ggas
Wouldn't you like to be a n*gga too?
