Dr. Dre - n***az 4 Life lyrics

[Opening dialogue] Why you brothers insist on usin' the word n***a? Don't you know that's bringin' down the black race? n***a n***a n***a that's all I hear you motherf**ers talk about is n***a 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***a, f** that sh** Does everything come out your mouth got to be a 4-letter word? All over this bullsh**, it's just a bunch of f**in' noise The way you talk about women is bullsh**, plain bullsh** What you motherf**ers doin' for the black community anyway? Motherf**er I got kids, I don't want 'em listenin' to that bullsh** {*hospital monitor starts beeping*} f** the n***as! Motherf**ers need to stop How can you call yourself a n***a and be proud of it? {*monitor stops beeping - R.I.P.*} [Orderly] Flatline [Dr. Dre] Bullsh**! [MC Ren] Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? Well it's because motherf**ers 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***as wouldn't have to go out Gave up some dope on the 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 [Dr. Dre] Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? I guess it's just the way sh** has to be Back when I was young gettin' a job was murder f** 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***a get out of Yo! The concrete playground But most motherf**ers only want you to stay down But I'm a smart motherf**er you see One of the best producers in the rap music industry Gettin' paid like a motherf**er A young brother, who don't give a f** about another Yeah [MC Ren] + (Dr. Dre) Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? Because police always wanna hara** me Every time that I'm rollin (rollin) They swear up and down that the car was stolen (this sh** is stolen) Make me get face down in the street (in the street) And throw the sh** out my car on the concrete (yeah) In front of a residence A million white motherf**ers on my back like I shot the President [Dr. Dre] Why do I call myself a n***a you ask me? Because my mouth is so motherf**in nasty b**h this, b**h that, n***a this, n***a that In the mean while my pockets are gettin' fat Gettin paid to say this sh** here Makin' more in a week than a doctor makes in a year So why not call myself a n***a? It's better than pullin' the trigger and goin' up the river And then I get called a n***a anyway Broke as a motherf**er and locked away, so So cut out all that bullsh** Yo! I guess I'll be a n***a for life ("n***as, crackers, j**s!" "If there's hell below, we're all gonna go!") [Eazy-E] n***a n***a n***a n***a n***a n***a, please I'm treated like a f**in disease You say - why do I call myself a n***a so quick? Cause I can reach in my drawers and pull out a bigger dick, yo n***a say n***a we cool but Cracker say n***a, n***a knocked the f** up But I gotta be a fast n***a, to never be the last n***a Or I'll have to beat yo' a**, n***a 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** 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**in your wife You're motherf**in right yo, cause I'm a n***a for life [Interlude dialogue] I love n***as, I love n***as, I love n***as Because n***as are me And I should only love that which is me I love that you n***as ("n***as for life") [Dr. Dre] n***a this, n***a 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**er that'll have 'em runnin' for cover You see, I don't give a f** about nothin Except gettin' paid, gettin' b**hes, and issuin' stitches Which is, all needed to read it and find a rhyme And then it's time to say, the n***a's here to stay But what about the fake n***as, the house n***as To get paid quick they gotta s** a fat dick But N.W.A. is outta your motherf**in' range We ain't gonna change a motherf**in' thang! [MC Ren] I call myself a n***a cause my skin won't lighten I call myself a n***a cause the sh** that I'm writin Hypes me, hypes other motherf**ers around me And that's the reason why they wanna surround me And ask me - why do I call myself a n***a-o? Ain't none of their f**in 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***a for life [Final dialogue] You're a n***a 'til you die If you're a po' n***a, you're a po' n***a If you're a rich n***a, you're a rich n***a But you never stop bein a n***a And if you get to be educated you just an educated n***a ("I can dig it!") [N.W.A. - repeat 6X] It's plain to see, you can't change me Cause I'mma be a n***a for life {*static noise*} [Eazy-E (singing a jingle)] I'm a n***a, he's a n***a, she's a n***a, we some n***as Wouldn't you like to be a n***a too?
