Lyrics for Anti-Nigger Machine

When I'm talkin' rhyme time To blow your mind time some say It's nothing worse than a verse To hear some nigga curse They call me rude some dudes fiery attitude Claimin' I boast and smoke And sometimes sing the blues I twang metal and settle Try to never back pedal From the power some got To get a nigga shot The null and void I avoid I test the paranoid I never had to be bad My mama raised me mad So what I got is hot I love my life a lot I'm never sad just glad That's why I thank my dad This is what I mean a anti-nigga machine Instead of peace the police Just want to wreck and flex On the kid, what I did was try to be the best So they fingered the trigger Figured I was a bigger nigga And started to search An so I headed west Went to Cali to rally Was for a brothers death It was the fuzz who shot him An not da blood or 'cause I wondered why it was like So I just held my mic But in my mind I was blind So I just tried to find A reason we was Just the way that we was So I just stayed in the crib Until I got a buzz
