Prince Album

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)

[No lyrics]

[No lyrics]

Hello Prince, Yes
this is Vanessa Bartholomew Where have u been?
I've been trying to interview
you now for a long time No
You're a hard man to track down
I hope you don't mind I'm
recording our conversation
Hello?

CHORUS:
In my deuce and a quarter feelin' funky funky fine
And I'm rockin' that stupid shit
In my deuce and a quarter feelin' funky funky fine
And I'm rockin' that stupid shit

Rollin' in my deuce deuce 5
Convertible top down so I can see the honeys passin' me by
It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood
But 5 or 10 minutes, a criminal puts me in a bad mood
And some would say that's just a black man's perspective
But nowaday, I find that it's reflective
Of what I see goin' down everyday
My brothers and my sisters gettin' played
So we revert 2 committin' dope, many brothers get hurt
By another brother who don't like salt in his dirt
Cuz in the streets, see, that's the way it is
U keep your mouth shut and stay out of other people's biz
See, the system wasn't made 4 me or U
And as a matter of fact, it wasn't made 4 a poor white who...
Gets their weekly hit
Or should I say that weekly check and start depending on that shit like a glass
dick
These are some of the feelings that I'm holdin'
But everything's fine while I'm rollin'...

CHORUS

(Don't everyday)

How many, how many times must we commit crimes
Against people no better off than us, but in our own minds?
A-havin' it, grabbin' it, tastin' it
And when U step off, I finally rub your face in it
See, the local's preacher is not suited 4 the have-nots
The poor get poorer and the rich continue 2 clock ... not!
That means U end up with the booty
And we all know a broke man is a man with no friends
And that's basically the way society is
And money talk, pusher walk and sleepin' on the politics
Soon we must live 2 consolidate
As we continue 2 consume instead of producin', seal our on fate
(In my deuce and a quarter feelin' funky funky fine)
People right now really don't give a damn
(And I'm rockin' that stupid shit)
Cuz in the 20 mile radius, there's probably not one black and...
Hispanic taken 4 granted and left 2 clean their own shit up, huh
No need 4 panic, I'm out
That's bullshit!

CHORUS

In my... in my... in my...
Rockin' that stupid shit

Hello Prince, Yes
this is Vanessa Bartholomew Where have u been?
I've been trying to interview
you now for a long time No
You're a hard man to track down
I hope you don't mind I'm
recording our conversation
Hello?

Hey yo, what up man?
How much it cost 2 get in this motherfucker?
What the... U people can't come in here
What U talkin' about man?
This is not the place 4 U
Shit, all I wanna do is use your telephone (Turn all that fucking shit off)
(Hey, hold on U, U just... hell, U just go now! Let go of me!)
Why U white motherfuckin' peckerwood, U redneck son-of-bitch!
(That fucking nigga - get out!)
I'll kick your motherfuckin' ass! (Hold back!)

Here we go

If U ain't got no money, U can't taste mine
Man, he got 2 be crazy

Yo, what's this motherfucker talkin about G?
Yo Tone, I don't know
Cold grab the mic and just wreck some shit!

(Come on y'all) {sample repeats in song}

U got a black motherfucker in the house on the 1 and 2
Some who don't like the language, I say "Yo, fuck U!"
Cuz this a record and I'm irate
And as a matter of fact, let's set the motherfuckin' record straight
Some of U can't stand the way I bring it
And can't stand the way a black motherfucker swings it
Check this out G
If U never stereotyped it, the stereotype would never be, ho!

But 4 now, U got some black motherfuckers in the house
(What up, loc?) (Oh my God!)
Yeah, U got some black motherfuckers in the house
(What up, loc?) (Oh my God!)

Don't U hate it when a jig is in the house? (Yep)
He ain't been in the club 5 minutes
'Fore 6 or 7 cuss words flyin' out his mouth (Fuck U)
Hand all on his erection
Makin' rude gestures in your girl's direction
Don't U hate it when they get up and dance?
U don't watch Soul Train, U ain't got a chance
What the hell they got 2 come here 4? (Hell, I don't know Cliff)

Next time we need a big white sign at the door that says
"No black motherfuckers in the house" (Yep, that'll do it)
Get the hell out of here
No black motherfuckers in the house
(Common ho) (Oh my God!)

Yeehaw!
Best place 4 a coon's in the tree (Yep, get a rope)
Yeah

I don't know Charlotte, that big one's kinda cute (Black, black)
Why he could stir my lemonade any day
(Black motherfuckers in the house)

Ah, here he comes again

Now I'm hyped and I'm vexed, streamin' 2 set it off
It's time we saw U with the N.P.G., the refs get off
I mean we come off, I believe it's cuz of the shit we tossed
I'm thinkin' about the redneck motherfucker who thinks he's the boss
Who's the dudes that let loose the vibe?
Yo, and labeled me just another chicken-eatin' nigga in the tribe
4 a man with no tribe is a man with no family
Dumb motherfucker, understand me?

What did U say? Billy Bob, go get my pistol (Mm-hmm)
U got some black motherfuckers in the house
(What up, loc?) (Oh my God!)
I'll cut your ass
Yeah, U got some black motherfuckers in the house
(Get up, loc) (Oh my God!)

{repeat phrase 3 times}
Black, black {x3}
Black motherfuckers in the house

Hey, let go of my arm
Nigga, what's wrong with U?
Uh oh
Where U taking me?
Shut up
Ooh, is that your car?
U know it

Cliff, U gotta do something
Damn, this shit is boring
Why don't U boots do a solo or something? U...
Hey boy, U gonna play the piano or just bang on it?
(Black, black, black motherfuckers in the house)
About time, hell
(Black, black, black motherfuckers in the house)
Cliff, that boy on that piano kinda good
He's alright, it's that big one I got a problem with
Billy Bob, get my pistol, shit
And he got a real pretty mouth
Now watch

Yo, U got the black motherfuckers in the house (What up, loc?)
See, that's what I'm talkin about, he...
He oughta keep his place (He oughta keep his place)
Sho'nuff some black motherfuckers in the house (What up, loc?)

Alright, where is he?
Floyd, what in the sam hill did happen 2 U?
[Cut them niggaz in a ... ] (I kinda like that part)
Ha, ha, ha

Can I tell U one thing I do not like?
Give a fuck what U like! (I'll do him, Cliff)
I do not... boy, don't U holler at me, I hate that
Casey trippin', boy in the house
Hey
I don't like my...
Come here boy
I don't like crackers in my soup
Don't U know I will cut your ass 3 ways: long, deep and constantly!

Come on y'all

(Please stop) {repeat sample in song}

Tony, I'll spend the night with U on one condition
What's that?
U gotta have me home before dawn
Uh oh
My papa's a preacher
Well...
He despises sweet-talkin' fine-dressin' dudes like U
Then that could be a problem
Why if he knew I missed Sunday church
On account of keepin' company with a brother like U
Why he'd...
What?
He'd... I don't know what he'd do
Shit
But I surely don't wanna find out
Well it's on

(U g'on be naked)

Goldnigga - we can turn this mutha out
Goldnigga - tell me what U're all about

Oh my God
It is true
Goldnigga's in the house, baby
Ooh honey, one of us is gettin' saved 2night
Then rescue me, baby

Come here

Damn
Mmm, yeah, mmm
Tony?
What?
Do U love me?
U know it!
Uh, yeah
Would... would U marry me if I got in the family way?
Son of Goldnigga? The sequel?
U know that 2, baby

Talk 2 me, baby
Tell me who's in the motherfuckin' house
Ahh, Goldnigga
Speak the English, baby
Tell me, what'cha gonna do with your life?
What'cha mean?
Can U really say that U'd help somebody?
Wait a minute
Or is this just a carnival ride?
Oh shit, what the fu.., damn!
What good is a school...
But ah...
If it's filled with fools?
Shut up, shut up
Goldnigga, it's so easy 2 love U
But Goldnigga, who do U love?

U stick around
Goldnigga (What U hear at our concert is the real thing)
Be your own man
Endless abyss (What U hear at our concert is the real thing)
Do U love me?
Is this just a carnival ride?
We go round and round (What U hear at...)
As we go round and round
U stick around
We got a caller on the line, caller, caller on the..., hello

The land of a New Power Generation (Who said that?)
Playin' the music 4 your mind, your body and your soul
The land of a New Power Generation
U stick around, but remember I'm the boss
Can I get some help over here

Another 30 seconds

Have U ever heard a horn so nasty?
Goldnigga
Incubated society (Clean it up, boy)
What U gonna do with your life? (This is smooth)

U stick around
(What U hear at our concert is the real thing)
And ain't shit changed in 20 years, y'all
(What... what U hear at our concert is the real thing)
2 all my fellow Goldniggaz
U stick around
(What U hear at our concert is the real thing)
Instead of leading, we are being lead
But remember, I'm the boss
Caller, caller on the..., hello
Listen 2 the funky horn, y'all
Do U love me?
Goldnigga

Playin' the music 4 your mind, your body and your soul
And ain't shit changed in 20 years, y'all
The land of a New Power Generation
We go round and round
Do U love me?

Endless abyss
Incubated society
Is this just a carnival ride?
The land of a New Power Generation
Is this just a carnival ride?
Incubated society

In..in..incubated society

Goldnigga
Be your own man

Hello Prince, Yes
this is Vanessa Bartholomew Where have u been?
I've been trying to interview
you now for a long time No
You're a hard man to track down
I hope you don't mind I'm
recording our conversation
Hello?

Yeah
2gether

Your boy got popped in a driveby yesterday
He'll be lucky if he makes it through the night is what the doctors say
U can take revenge or U can be the one 2 break the chain
U look up in the sky 4 an answer and it starts 2 rain

CHORUS:
What are we (What are we) if we're not 2gether? (If we're not 2gether)
How do we (How do we) make a life that's better? (Yeah)
Cuz when we (Cuz when we) be killin' one another (Take each other out)
How do we (Huh, how) call each other brother? (Mmm, check it)
U tell me

What's the chance of a brother gettin' off the block?
What's the chance, not a damn if all he wanna do is sell chicken wings and the
rock
(Chicken wing and the rock)
U can blame the system, U can be the one 2 even the score, huh
Yeah, huh, U look up in the sky 4 an answer and it starts 2 pour
Drop it, huh

What are we (What are we) if we're not 2gether? (If we're not 2gether)
How do we (How do we) make a life that's better? (Yeah)
Cuz when we (Cuz when we) be killin' one another (Take each other out)
How do we (Huh, how) call each other brother?
U tell me (Tell'em)

Why is slangin' them thangs, coppin' a stroll, flashin' a sign
Key topics on a young black mind?
Cuz it's the picture that we give'em and they illustrate
Black on black genocide has started 2 escalate
Every brother ain't a brother cuz o' color, this is true
But I can still say 2 my brother "Much love boo"
Please Lord, give me the strength and make it quick
Cuz my people won't take another nightstick, huh

What are we (What are we) if we're not 2gether? (If we're not 2gether)
How do we (And how do we) make a life that's better? (Yeah)
Cuz when we (Cuz when we) be killin' one another (Take each other out)
How do we (How do we) (I don't know) call each other brother?
U tell me

What are we if we're not 2gether? (The New Power Generation)
How do we make a life that's better? (Straight up 4 '93)
Cuz when we (Come on) (Killin' one another) be killin' one another
(Come on, come on)
(How do we) How do we call each other brother?
U tell me (Yeah)

Yo, it's simple
From the old 2 the young
2 uplift we must give the gift
Gift of knowledge, that is
Teach our young
That all in life ain't fun
And 2 make a life that's better
My people must stick 2gether
The choice is yours

CHORUS

What are we (What are we) if we're not 2gether? (If we're not 2gether)
How do we (How do we) make a life that's better? (2gether)
Cuz when we (Cuz when we) be killin' one another (Be killin' one another)
How do we (How do we) call each other brother?
U tell me

And my people get busy fryin' up the bird (Get the chicken, baby)
Word, whoever heard of a party bein' ready without a money makin' pot of
spaghetti (Ha ha ha)
Yeah, what U laughin' at?

Huh, and that's profitable

The best possible time 4 U and me, yeah
The party's jumpin' (Ho, ho, ho)
Everybody's bumpin' 2 Rock Creek Park when (Ho, ho, ho)

Jumped up on my chandelier and got busy, yeah
He had 2 snatch the ho (What?)
We got Geo in the background screamin', "Here we go, here we go!"
Yeah, the tempo's upbeat
Hollywood swingin' at the end of the bar
He began singin', "If I didn't care..."

Yeah, U better call the law (call the law)
We're gettin' busy y'all (we're gettin' busy y'all)

(Ho, ho, ho, ho, here we go, here we go!) (Alright) {repeat}

Every time I see U, girl, my Johnny get hard
Harder than the handle on the rake in my yard
Harder than the brownstone brick on my house
If I ever, ever, ever get U into my mouth (Yeah)
I'll drink U like a 40 in an alcoholic's hand
Baby, can't U understand?

I'm only fantasizing cuz your love is tantalizing
And it's got me burning rubber in my pants
But I don't wanna do U till I spend the time 2 school U
On the fine art of romance
U got 2 know how 2 make love 2 me, below and above me
In the back of my BMW "Z"
The bang bang boogie, U will give it 2 me
Cuz Johnny will make U dance (Can we bring it up?)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!) {repeat 4 times}

Hey baby, what U doin'?

I would like 2 introduce 2 U
What's your name, baby?
Chicanes
Chicanes?

Yo, grippin' the mic is like grippin' necks
But I only grip necks when a brother's on the B-side of some safe sex
That means the A-side I flip and commence 2 penetrate with the... (Oh)
Ooh, yeah ha
But enough about my propers
Brothers write 2 much about how they been endowed, boy
And God, I've been blessed with just enough 2 get the job done
Check it just like Ford (What?) - "Quality is job one"
2 get a grip, U need a handle, not a breaker 1 2
2 much said on the airwaves cause 2 much scandal
See, things got funny when I made my money
Why brothers got jelly when pockets get fat?
Their pockets equal fly honeys
An equation that just don't figure
Cuz Tone is quick 2 bust a bubble on the butt of a gold digger
(So what U sayin'?)
U see, I worked 2 hard 4 this honey dip (Honey dip)
Check it, get a grip

Oh Tony, that was great
No no, serious shit, man, that was great
I'm telling U, believe me when I say
That this is just... this is rap at its finest
Yes, I'm tellin' U, U know
(Who is this dude, man? Go on, get outta the way)
Alright, I just wanna...
(Get outta here!)

Johnny needs a Jim (Jimmy needs a job) {x3}
Johnny needs a Jim (Yo, let me borrow a couple of those)
Take a few packs Tone
I ain't goin out like that, U know what I'm sayin'?
Who got the 'lactics? (Gots 2 be protected)
Who got the 'lactics? (Ain't go'n rain on me!)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!) {repeat 4 times}
Pick it up
Everybody

Feelin' funky funky fine
Feelin' funky funky fine in my deuce and a quarter
Feelin' funky funky fine

In my deuce and a quarter feelin funky funky fine
And we're rockin' that stupid shit
Well, well (Well, well, well)

And uh, we'd really like 2 thank U right now 4 all U done
And the New Power Generation would like 2 say "Amen"

In my deuce and a quarter feelin funky funky fine
And we're rockin' that stupid shit
