Hey, what up y'all?
npg's in the house kickin' the gift
talkin' about us livin' in an incubated society
and ain't shit changed in 20 years y'all
we just in a state of sobriety
that's right - this one is subject 2 justification
cuz we shootin' 4 heads of state
hmph, and 2 my brothers and sisters strugglin' 2 try and learn
don't be confused by the term...
ahh, goldnigga - a term that might seem offensive 2 some
but one we've adapted - that means the money's earned
by the knowledge and creative efforts of a black man
who can feel good cuz there's no blood on his hands
in a time when respect is gotten, not from what a leader might say
but 9 m's, glock 7's and ak's
it's a shame, but that's the way it is
that's the reality of things - our state of mind has been twisted
demented in the way that seems irreversible
2 much clout and status in the movers and shakers and people with pull
instead of leading, we are being led
by generations of punk motherfu... yo tone, nuff said
yeah, u right, but i must speak on this
before me and my people die in this endless abyss
so as we go round and round in an attempt 2 get bigger
i send a shout out 2 all my fellow goldniggaz
stay strong!
Chorus:
goldnigga - we can turn this mutha out
goldnigga - tell me what u're all about (stay strong)
goldnigga - we can turn this mutha out
goldnigga - tell me what u're all about (please, please stop!)
Get up, stand up, stand up 4 your rights
cuz goldniggaz don't go out without a fight
mentality's 2 strong, we bring brothers who struggle along
nevermind preachin' about the prior things they had did wrong
cuz every new day is a fresh start
and i mean that shit from the bottom of my heart
i place this burden on the shoulders with an upraisal in effect
it's time we earn proper respect
(please stop!) {sample repeats in bg}
big up goldniggaz
Chorus
(yeah) (come on, come on)
(mmm, say it) (we, we, we like it)
U better stop! {sample repeats 2 fade}
