lyrics

Everybody knows
You can’t say n*gga if you ain’t black
Everybody knows
You can’t say n*gga if you ain’t black
Everybody knows
Don’t let me catch you sayin’ that if you ain’t black
If you ain’t, if you ain’t black
If you ain’t, if you ain’t black

I’ve heard it argued you can use it in a quote
It’s been said that you can tell it in a joke
Somebody once told me you could sing it in a song
‘Cause some brother told him wasn’t wrong
But…

Everybody knows
You can’t say n*gga if you ain’t black
Everybody knows
You can’t say n*gga if you ain’t black
Everybody knows
So why the fick you sayin’ that if you ain’t black
If you ain’t, if you ain’t black
If you ain’t, if you ain’t black

Burnin’ rubber highway 69
Rapping to Biggie and you’re feeling fine
No one around to hear the sound
Did it, did it, did it really go down?

Oh it’s a small price to pay
For Black liberation
Oh look in my eyes and
tell me you’ll do what it takes
Don’t you play dumb

Everybody knows
You can’t say n*gga if you ain’t black (that's whack)
Everybody knows
You can’t say n*gga if you ain’t black
Don’t let me catch you sayin’ that if you ain’t black
If you ain’t, if you ain’t black
If you ain’t, if you ain’t black
If you ain’t, if you ain’t black
Don’t let me catch you sayin’ that if you ain’t black
