Nas "Be A Nigger Too" Lyrics, Video (Official)

Rik Cordero's official video for Nas "Be A Nigger Too," and lyrics below. I like the song a little better after giving it some time, and Cordero's vid is solid as usual.

Nas "Be A Nigger Too" Lyrics

Turn your radios up
You are now allowed to listen to the radio
The real niggers are back, on the radio

No slacking, no begging, no asking, no fasting
No disrespect to Islam or Imam pastor
No answers to questions the media is asking
Why we fight each other in public in front of these arrogant fascists? They love it
Putting old niggers versus the youngest
Most of our elders failed us
How can they judge us, niggers?
There's verbal books published by niggers
Produced by niggers, genuine niggers
so I salute my, niggers
Not mad cuz Eminem said nigger
cuz he's my nigger, wigger, cracker friend
We all black within, okay
we all african, okay
Some africans don't like us? no way!
a killing happened in Johannesburg, yesterday
slain artist named Lucky Dube, hijacked
some saying N double-A-C-P
keep us side-tracked
But I don't buy that, I buy Aston Martins
faster cars then, Nas-a-Car's in
sparking while riding
critics, eat a dick
journalists see I'm rich
With this N-word jargon
I'm just starting, bitch
[Be A Nigger Too Explicit Lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com ]

I'm a nigger, he's a nigger, she's a nigger, we some niggers,
wouldn't you like to be a nigger too?
To all my kike niggas, spic niggers, Guinea niggers, chink niggers,
that's right, y'all my niggers too
I'm a nigger, he's a nigger, she's a nigger, we some niggers,
wouldn't you like to be a nigger too?
They like to strangle niggers, blaming niggers, shooting niggers, hanging niggers,
still you wanna be a nigger too?
True

Wake up in the morning, shake my third leg in the toilet
oozie on the night stand
I'm the man you go to war with
Not the man you go to war against
Patience, i'll get you if that means I can't sleep a whole year
I'mma get you, I'm official
Not a tisket or a tasket
I'll put you in the casket
With the biscuit or the ratchet
They smoke hibiscus ...
That plant shit trees
advance shit we
Don't forsake us, you all are fake blood like moviemakers
I flow tight as Toothie's braces
Who be hating us?
I'll be on a State bus
in shackles if my 8 bust
Cuz y'all some tellers, opposite of bankers
I'm the shit for ages
My click's still real QB gangsters
Click still moving like Freemasons
So if i'm in on the floor for the law
There's lodgers all across the nation
Nas is bred for the plan
To hold a grand dragon's head in my hand
Come and get me, here I am

I'm a nigger, he's a nigger, she's a nigger, we some niggers,
wouldn't you like to be a nigger too?
To all my kike niggas, spic niggers, guinea niggers, chink niggers,
that's right, y'all my niggers too
I'm a nigger, he's a nigger, she's a nigger, we some niggers,
wouldn't you like to be a nigger too?
They like to strangle niggers, blaming niggers, shooting niggers, hanging niggers,
still you wanna be a nigger too?

first time hearing 'freemasons' in mainstream media ... props to that .

Yo, i dont think Nas dont want u to say i wanna be a N after hearing thes song i think he want u to realize how fucked up it is...noticed he said "They like to strangle niggers, blaming niggers, shooting niggers, hanging niggers,
still you wanna be a nigger too?"

Posted by: Da best presence at June 13, 2008 1:33 AM

Actually, I think he DOES want you to identify with being a N... because the potential for being a martyr in the cause of being what makes society strong is a focal point in his song and the video.

I'm not sure if I buy the argument of changing the meaning of N, but I think he's taking ownership of all the word has and can represent and is trying to showcase that at the end of the day, it's unattractive yet coveted.

deep huh?

Posted by: Dat Boi Tony at June 13, 2008 9:48 PM

This song has deep meaning like most of Nas' songs. The way the song speaks to me is that no matter what color you are we all got a little N****r inside of us. Today the word is used too much by every race of people out there. Often times white suburban kids will cop a hip hop album and try to talk street cause artist is and they make an ass out of themselves. To me being a N****r isn't just being black, it's a life style. I'm sure Obama never considered himself a N****r, just a black man. It's sad to still see racism in the world today and this song helps put it into context that no matter what you look like we are all the same, N****rs!

Posted by: osama at June 17, 2008 6:00 PM

What is the message behind this song???? Better yet is there a message? That's why Nas is my favorite rapper, he makes you think....but I really wonder if there is some type of message he is tryin convey through this song, or is he just simply rapping.

If there is a message it's more obvious in the first verse, the second verse is Nas just be "Nasty Nas"

Posted by: Jacob at June 18, 2008 5:00 PM

i'm trying to change the everday meaning of nigger. it is way overused as a bad word and im sick of all these fakes using it like that. hopefully the bad things associated with the word "nigger" will be phased out of society.

Posted by: Nas at July 1, 2008 3:57 AM

and it doesnt matter what u look like or called (kike, spic, guinea, chink) we are all humans

Posted by: Nas at July 1, 2008 4:00 AM

NAS you have done it again.No matter how much the "n" word doesn't want to be heard it's your lyrics like you said with your interview with Toure. No one wants to hear the truth when it is spoken. It's suppose to be hush hush. No moree. Keep speaking the truth NAS.It will all come out one day of who is the chosen people. Will you ever make another video with your father. I loved the 1 u 2 made together. Keep up the good work and may god bless you. Happy 4th Lady Di

It's a powerful song, and if ya'll support it, and understand it, ya'll shouldn't be afraid to talk as it does, when sayin nigga. I think he's exposes the selected media we put up with, and he identifies the numerous levels of fraud. He speaks of the very real, and still (unfortunantly) living hatred of racism, and invites you to stand against it. Sadly I haven't heard this, but once on the radio, and it was just a clip at late night. I don' think people are ready for how real Nas is tellin it. And I love the part bout holdin the Grand Dragon's head in his hand. It'd be nice to see that. This song is 10/10. Thanks Nas for speakin fa ya peeps.

Nas is hands down the best lyricist there is. It's even better because he makes you think, takes you to school, and forces you to know history. I've been a fan since "BBQ", and I have never been disappointed by his music. Nas keep it coming!

Heres my view on it... I think this about how the word should have no meaning anymore. Because racism is starting to become less of problem. So by saying every bodys a nigga, nigger whatever. I call myself a nigga and im white. It dont matta! we all fucking human!!!

NAS makes a relevant commentary. Why don't the rest of ya'll niggas follow in his logic. He takes a poignant stance on a very old stalemate.
