[Verse 1:]
Could you tell me who unleashed our animal instinct?
And the white man sittin’ there tickled pink,
Laughin’ at us on the avenue
Bustin’ caps at each other after havin’ brew.
We can’t enjoy ourselves,
Too busy jealous at each other’s wealth,
Coming up is just in me,
But the black community is full of envy,
Too much back-stabbin’,
While I look out the window, I see all the Japs grabbin’Every vacant lot in my neighborhood,
Build a store, and sell their goods
To the county recips,
You know, us, poor niggas; nappy hair and big lips,
Four or five babies on your crotch,
And you expect Uncle Sam to help us out?
We ain’t nothing but porch monkeys
To the average bigot, redneck honky.
You say coming up is a must
But before we can come up, take a look at us.
[Verse 2:]
And all y’all dope dealers,
You’re as bad as the police ‘cause ya kill us,
You got rich when you started slangin’ dope,
But you ain’t built us a supermarket,
So when can spend our money with the blacks,
Too busy buyin’ gold and Cadillacs,
That’s what ya doin’ with the money that ya raisin’,
Exploitin’ us like the Caucasians did
For 400 years; I got 400 tears for 400 peers
Died last year from gang-related crimes,
That’s why I got gang-related rhymes,
But when I do a show to kick some facts,
Us, Blacks, don’t know how to act,
Sometimes I believe the hype, man,
We mess it up ourselves and blame the white man.
But don’t point the finger, you jiggaboo,
Take a look at yourself, ya dumb nigga, you,
Pretty soon hip-hop won’t be so nice,
No Ice Cube, just Vanilla Ice,
And y’all sit, and scream, and cuss,
But there’s no one to blame but us.
[Verse 3:]
Us will always sing the blues‘
Cause all we care about is hairstyles and tennis shoes,
And if ya step on mine, ya pushed a button,‘
Cause I’ll beat you down like it ain’t nothing,
Just like a beast,
But I’m the first nigga ta holler out, “Peace, black man!”
I beat my wife and children to a pulp
When I get drunk and smoke dope,
Got a bad heart condition,
Still eat hog-maws and chitlings,
Bet my money on the dice and the horses,
Jobless, so I’m a hope for the armed forces,
Go to church but they tease us
Wit’ a picture of a blue-eyed Jesus,
They used to call me Negro
After all this time I’m still bustin’ up the chiffarobe,
No respect and ignored,
And I’m havin’ more babies than I really can afford,
In jail ‘cause I can’t pay the mother,
Held back in life because of my color.
Now this is just a little summary
Of us, but y’all think it’s dumb of me
To hold a mirror to ya face, but trust,
Nobody gives a fuck about…
