Negro Wit` An Ego — текст песни (Salt `n` Pepa)


Here we go (yo) I`m a negro with an ego
So? Don`t tell me what I`m doin` is illegal
No I resort to violence only when provoked
Contrary to rumors I`m no joke
If I sound hard it`s because I`m pee ed off
And do you wanna know why? Go `head tell `em Salt
All right let me explain what upset me
No we ain`t tryin` to be sexy
Dismiss is quick with a miss like a tongue
Cuz I`d run if I was a chick pick up a hit list
And I`m-a kick it like this

The word is out, you played me out
I won`t scream and shout, straighten it out now
Don`t lie and spy, stop tryin` to connive me
Slow your roll, you don`t even know me
I`m not a militant, but I`m equivilant
To an activist, all I`m after is cheer among all
I don`t care if they`re big or small, short or tall
We`ve got to stand to fall, ain`t that right, y`all?

Now all I can talk about is what I know
And all I know about is what I witness
What I witness is what I see
Me, way below status quo cuz I`m a negro with an ego
Yo, that don`t go

CHORUS
Put some faith in your race
Put some faith in your race (repeat)

I`m black, and I`m proud to be a
African-American soul sister
Usin` my mind as a weapon, a lethal injection
And oh yes, I`m the best in whatever I do
I do better, I`m clever
I never half-step ask Salt or Pepa
We`re partners in rhyme, one of a kind
This affair is rare, and you will never find
Another like me, gimme the mic, it`s mine
Keep your mitts off this, yo, Salt, it`s time
To let the public know the subject of the show
Is what America calls a negro with an ego
Yo, that don`t go, that`s a negative so...

CHORUS

Porche, Benz, and BM`s are all suitable
For people who sell pharmacuticles
That`s a stereotype, that`s the hype
Don`t ask me why I have an attitude (all right)
When I drop a nine-eleven on my 200C
The cops are surprised to see a minority
Behind the wheel of this car, it must be narcotics
How else could she have got it?
A brown-skinned female with two problems to correct
Wrong color, wrong sex

Sometimes I feel the real deal is to be a rebel
But that would bring me down to their level
I won`t settle for that, it`s unacceptable
Cuz Salt and Pepa`s always very respectable
Sometimes we get crazy and outta hand
But it`s all in the fun of makin` everybody dance
I`m proud of who and what I am so call me a negro with an ego
And get ready to go blow for blow

CHORUS
