Lyrics

Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, hey sucka nigga Whoever you are, whoever you are Aiyyo (Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are) turn it up Muhammad Turn everything up in the headphones (Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are) so I don't lose my vocals (Hey sucka nigga, hey sucka nigga) yeah, that's good, turn my vocals a little bit (Whoever you are, whoever you are) with the upper bassline I be hatin' sucka MC's, and the sucka niggas Posing like they hard when we know they damn card What you figure? Rhyme-wise, I do the figure eight so concisely Musically, we are the herb so sit back and light me Inhale, my style is kinda fat reminiscent of a whale Young girls desires for the females dreams I be the Abstract Poetic representin' from Queens Socially, I'm not a name, black and white got game If you came to the jam, well I'm glad you came See, nigga first was used back in the Deep South Fallin' out between the dome of the white man's mouth It means that we will never grow, you know the word dummy Other niggas in the community think it's crummy But I don't, neither does the youth 'cause we Em-brace adversity it goes right with the race And being that we use it as a term of endearment Niggas start to bug to the dome is where the fear went Now the little shorties say it all of the time And a whole bunch of niggas throw the word in they rhyme Yo, I start to flinch, as I try not to say it But my lips is like the oowop as I start to spray it My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray the Sucka nigga, nigga nigga I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front The sucka niggas, nigga nigga I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front The sucka niggas, nigga nigga I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front Sucka nigga, nigga nigga It's the neo-nigga of the '90s, c'mon Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, hey sucka nigga Whoever you are, whoever you are (dig it?) Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, hey sucka nigga Whoever you are, whoever you are I be hatin' sucka MC's, and the sucka niggas Posin' like they hard when we know they damn card What you figure? Rhyme-wise, I do the figure eight So concisely (so concise), musically we are the herb so sit back and light me Inhale, my style is kinda fat reminiscent of a whale Young girls desires for the females dreams I be the Abstract Poetic representin' from Queens Socially, I'm not a name, black and white got game If you came to the jam, well, I'm glad you came See, nigga first was used down in the Deep South Fallin' out between the dome of the white man's mouth It means that we will never grow, you know the word dummy Other niggas in the community think it's crummy But I don't, neither does the youth 'cause we Em-brace adversity it goes right with the race Yo I start to flinch, as I try not to say it But my lips is like the oowop as I start to spray it My lips is like a oowop as I start to spray it My lips is like a oowop, yo you know the rest The sucka niggas, niggas niggas I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front The sucka niggas, nigga nigga I throw the suckas in the front for the ones that front The sucka niggas, nigga nigga I throw the sucka in the front for the ones that front Sucka niggas, nigga nigga Aiyyo Shaheed, take us the fuck outta here Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, hey sucka nigga Whoever you are, whoever you are (dig it?) Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, whoever you are Hey sucka nigga, hey sucka nigga Whoever you are, whoever you are (Dig it?, Dig it?, Dig it?, Dig it?)
