[Verse 1]
He's got the [Em]green timbs

Yo, yeah, uh huh

You say why I call you nigga, think about it
You went from what
From an African, straight to a nigger,
you know what I'm saying
We traveling over to what, to what
Negro, and then we went to [Am]what
[Em]Then we went to blac[Am]k
Then it was on some Afro-
[Em]American stuff
Afro- Canadian what have you,
but guess what
It don't matter what you call yourself

you behind your back

Stereotype of my type is a felon
My [Em]people cause static cause [Bm]automatically
now a days [Am]we fire automatics
Grammatically adequate my [Em]people
come equipped
[Bm]With enough lyrics to move [Am]battleships
Blood brother ever since the slave ships
[G]It doesn't matter who I a[D]m
when [Am]I walk by
