They made niggas, we sprayed niggas
They got smart, gave us AIDS nigga
They killed kings, you a brave nigga
You god too, made nigga
Made to hate your dark skin
You God son, they Satan
They killed natives, raped men
Then went to church, hollering, "Amen"!
And gave us liquor, gave us coke
But blame niggas for selling dope
Ollie North up in the whole hood
Snow white but it ain't soap
So who's to blame for this shady word?
Say it how you want, it's the same word
No matter what wings, it's the same bird
From pyramids to dope serve

You supposed to be a god
You supposed to be a god
You are supposed to be a god
