Microphone check, heh, yo

Heh, yeah..



{They won't call me a nigga..} - 2X



Listen to the preacher man, but are you talkin to me?

I can't hear you with a mouth full of pig's feet

Thy shouldn't eat the swine flesh

Your body is a mess, but you're blessed

with the father, son, spirit and the holy ghost

But my whole neigborhood is comatose

Lookin for survival

The devil made you a slave and he gave you a bible

400 years of gettin our ass kicked

by so-called Christians and Catholics

But I'ma watch 'em burn in the fire

See I'm a G, that's why I ain't in your choir

Cause I see, cause I know

The church ain't nuttin but a fashion show

Get the devil do a one-eighty-seven

and they won't, call me a nigga, when I get to heaven



{They won't call me a nigga}

{when I get to heaven}

{No they won't! Haha no they won't, no they won't}



You're waitin for the devil to come from the ground

Clown, take a look around

Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin

A beast, in sheep's clothing

But I'm rollin, with that knowledge of self

Cause heaven, ain't just wealth

So mister preacher, if I couldn't pay my tithe

Do I have to wait outside?

White man, please take another look

Cause we couldn't be readin out the same book

Cause you'se a crook and I'm a brother

King James had sex with his mother

Is that yo' edition? Is that your religion?

Black man, you gotta make a desicion

Cause God is comin on day number seven

and they won't, call me a nigga, when I get to heaven



{They won't call me a nigga}

{when I get to heaven}

{No they won't! Haha no they won't, no they won't}

{They won't call me a nigga}

{when I get to heaven}

{No they won't! Haha no they won't, no they won't}



The same white man that threw me in the slammer

He bombed the church in Alabama

So if I cock the hammer, God won't mind

if I have to kill the human swine

Cause God is a killer from the start

Why you think, Noah had to build his Ark?

And God is a man from his feet to his hair

That's why you say 'amen' after each and every prayer

I just stare at the church man

Spendin mo' money on the church band

But Elijah's got a plan

Got the white man screamin - Damn that Farrakhan!

Cause one day these babies'll uprise

Much more than bow ties and bean pies

Kickin knowledge at the 7-11

And they won't, call me a nigga, when I get to heaven



{They won't call me a nigga}

{when I get to heaven}

{No they won't! Haha no they won't, no they won't}

--> repeat all 8X
