Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Die, ****)
Why you brothers insist on usin' the word "****?"
Don't you know that's bringin' down the black race?
('****, ****, ****,' that's all I hear you motherfuckers talk about)
(Is '****')
(You can do what you want, just keep it out of my neighborhood)
(I ain't no ****, fuck that shit)
Personally, I think the lyrics are a bit too harsh
Does everything that come out your mouth got to be a four-letter word?
(All of it is bullshit, it's just a bunch of fuckin' noise)
(The way you talk about women is bullshit, plain bullshit)
(What you motherfuckers doin' for the black community anyway?)
Motherfucker, I got kids, I don't want 'em listenin' to that bullshit
(Fuck the ****)
How can you call yourself a "****" and be proud of it?
Flatline
Bullshit
[Verse 2]
Why do I call myself a "****?" you ask me
Well, it's because motherfuckers wanna blast me
And run me out of my neighborhood
And label me as a dope dealer
Yo, and say that I'm no good
But I gave out jobs so **** wouldn't have to go out
Gave up some dope on 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 fifteen year old black kid'll go and rob a liquor store
And get shot in the process
He ate up a 9 bullet and now he's put to rest
[Verse 3]
Why do I call myself a "****?" you ask me
I guess it's just the way shit has to be
Back when I was young, gettin' a job was murder
Fuck flippin' burgers 'cause I deserve a
9-5 that I can be proud of, that I can speak loud of
And to help a **** get out of, yo, the concrete playground
But most motherfuckers only want you to stay down
But I'm a smart motherfucker, you see?
One of the best producers in the rap music industry
Gettin' paid like a motherfucker
A young brother who don't give a fuck about another
Yeah
[Verse 4]
Why do I call myself a "****?" 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 facedown in the street
And throw the shit out my car on the concrete
In front of a residence
A million white motherfuckers on my back like I shot the president
[Verse 5]
Why do I call myself a "****?" you ask me
Because my mouth is so motherfuckin' nasty
Bitch this, bitch that, **** this, **** that
In the mean while my pockets are gettin' fat
Gettin' paid to say this shit here
Makin' more in a week than a doctor makes in a year
So why not call myself a "****?"
It's better than pullin' the trigger and goin' up the river
And then I get called a "****" anyway
Broke as a motherfucker and locked away so
To cut out all that bullshit, yo, I guess I'll be a **** for life
[Verse 6]
****, crackers, Jews
If there's Hell below we're all gonna go
[Verse 7]
****, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****, please
I'm treated like a fuckin' disease
You say why do I call myself a "****" so quick?
'Cause I can reach in my drawers and pull out a bigger dick, yo
****, say "****," we cool but
Cracker say "****," ****, knocked the fuck up
But I gotta be a fast **** to never be the last ****
Or I have to beat your ass, ****
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 shit straight bumpin'
Murder created by the streets of Compton
Now get it from the underground poet
I live, I see it, I write it because I know it
And if you think I'm fuckin' your wife
You're motherfuckin' right, yo, 'cause I'm a **** for life
[Verse 8]
I love ****, I love ****, I love ****
Because **** are me
And I should only love that which is me
I love that you ****
(**** 4 life)
[Verse 9]
**** this, **** 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 motherfucker that'll have 'em runnin' for cover
You see? I don't give a fuck about nothin'
Except gettin' paid, gettin' bitches and issuin' stitches
Which is all needed to read it and find a rhyme
And then it's time to say, "The ****'s here to stay"
But what about the fake ****? The house ****?
To get paid quick they gotta suck a fat dick
But N.W.A. is outta your motherfuckin' range
We ain't gon' change a motherfuckin' thing
I call myself a "****" 'cause my skin won't lighten
I call myself a "****" 'cause the shit that I'm writin'
Hypes me, hypes other motherfuckers around me
And that's the reason why they wanna surround me
And ask me why do I call myself a "****-ro?"
Ain't none of their fuckin' business 'cause I'll let the trigger go
So get out my presence and get out of my sight
'Cause MC Ren is a **** for life, yeah
[Verse 10]
You're a **** till you die
If you're a poor ****, you're a poor ****
If you're a rich ****, you're a rich ****
But you never stop bein' a ****
And if you get to be educated you're just a educated ****
(I can dig it)
[Verse 11]
It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'ma be a **** for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'ma be a **** for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'ma be a **** for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'ma be a **** for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'ma be a **** for life
It's plain to see, you can't change me
'Cause I'ma be a **** for life
[Verse 12]
I'm a ****, he's a ****, she's a ****, we some ****
Wouldn't you like to be a **** too?
