Written by:Q-Tip/L. Fernandez[00:00:01]
Say ho everybody say ho[00:00:03]
Bop po quay yo[00:00:08]
I said shake your soul like way back in the day yo[00:00:11]
Bop po quay yo everybody say ho[00:00:16]
Everybody say hooooo hooo[00:00:21]
Everybody say ho[00:00:29]
And check it out now[00:00:31]
Who is cat eating out on the town[00:00:32]
And make the whole dining room turn they head around[00:00:34]
Mr Ni**a Ni**a Ni**a[00:00:37]
He got the speakers in the trunk[00:00:40]
With the bass on pump[00:00:41]
Who be riding up in the high rise elevator[00:00:42]
Other tenants who be praying they ain't the new neighbor[00:00:45]
Mr Ni**a Ni**a Ni**a[00:00:48]
They try to play him like a chump[00:00:50]
Cause he got what they want[00:00:52]
He under thirty years old[00:00:53]
But already he's a pro[00:00:54]
Designer trousers slung low[00:00:56]
Because his pockets stay swollen[00:00:57]
Could afford to get up and be anywhere he go[00:00:58]
VIP at the club backstage at the show[00:01:01]
Yes you'all the best crib the best clothes[00:01:04]
Hottest whips on the road[00:01:07]
Neck and wrists on froze say word[00:01:08]
Checks with o's o o o o ohs[00:01:10]
Straight all across the globe[00:01:12]
Watch got three time zones[00:01:13]
Keep a digital phone up to his dome[00:01:15]
Two assistants[00:01:17]
Two bank accounts two homes[00:01:18]
One problem[00:01:20]
Even with the o's on his check[00:01:21]
The po po stop him and show no respect[00:01:23]
Is there a problem officer[00:01:25]
Damn straight it's called race[00:01:27]
That motivate the Jake woo woo to give chase[00:01:28]
Say they want you successful but that ain't the case[00:01:31]
You living large your skin is dark[00:01:33]
They flash a light in your face[00:01:35]
Now who is cat dining out on the town[00:01:37]
Radiometry wanna take a whole year to sit him down[00:01:39]
Mr Ni**a Ni**a Ni**a[00:01:41]
He got the speakers in the trunk[00:01:43]
With the bass on pump[00:01:45]
Now who is the cat at Armani buying wears[00:01:46]
With the tourists who be asking him do you work here[00:01:49]
Mr Ni**a Ni**a Ni**a[00:01:52]
Ni**a Ni**a[00:01:54]
Yo the abstract with the mighty mos def[00:01:57]
White folks got it muffled across beneath they breathe[00:02:00]
I didn't say it[00:02:03]
But they'll say it out loud again[00:02:04]
When they deal with their close associates and friends[00:02:05]
You know[00:02:07]
Sneak it in with they friends at the job[00:02:08]
Happy hour at the bar[00:02:11]
While this song is in they car[00:02:12]
And even if they've never said it lips stay sealed[00:02:13]
Their actions reveal how their hearts really feel[00:02:15]
Like late night I'm on a first class flight[00:02:18]
The only brother in sight[00:02:21]
The flight attendant catch fright[00:02:22]
I sit down in my seat 2 c[00:02:24]
She approach officially talking about excuse me[00:02:26]
Her lips curl up into a tight space[00:02:30]
She don't believe that I'm in the right place[00:02:32]
Showed her my boarding pass[00:02:35]
And then she sort of gasped[00:02:36]
All embarrassed put an extra lime in my water glass[00:02:38]
An hour later here she comes by walking past[00:02:40]
I hate to be a pest but my son would love your autograph[00:02:43]
They stay on Ni**a patrol on American roads[00:02:50]
And when you travel abroad they got world Ni**a laws[00:02:53]
Some folks get on a plane go as they please[00:02:56]
But I go over seas and I get over seized[00:02:59]
London heatproof me and my people[00:03:02]
They think that illegal's a synonym for negro[00:03:04]
Far away places customs agents flagrant[00:03:07]
They think the dark face is smuggle waiting in cases[00:03:09]
Bags inspected now we arrested[00:03:12]
Attention directed to contents of our intestines[00:03:15]
Urinalyses followed by x rays[00:03:18]
Integrated and detained to damn near the next day[00:03:20]
No evidence no apology and no regard[00:03:22]
Even for the big American rap star[00:03:26]
For us especially us most especially[00:03:28]
A Mr Ni**a VIP jail cell just for me[00:03:31]
If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake[00:03:34]
Just got some shoe polish painted my face[00:03:36]
They say they want you successful[00:03:39]
But then they make it stressful[00:03:40]
You start keeping pace they start shaking up the tempo[00:03:41]
Now who is cat riding out on the town[00:03:44]
State trooper want to stop in his ride pat him down[00:03:46]
Mr Ni**a Ni**a Ni**a[00:03:49]
He got the speakers in the trunk[00:03:52]
With the bass on pump[00:03:53]
Now who is the cat with the hundred dollar bill[00:03:54]
They gotta send it to the back to make sure the sh*t is real[00:03:57]
Mr Ni**a Ni**a Ni**a[00:04:00]
Ni**a Ni**a Ni**a[00:04:03]
You can laugh and criticize Michael Jackson if you wanna[00:04:05]
Woody Allen molested and married his step daughter[00:04:08]
Same press kicking dirt on Michaelmas's name[00:04:11]
Show woody and soon ye at the playoff game holding hands[00:04:13]
Sit back and just bug think about that[00:04:16]
Would he get that type of DAP if his name was woody black[00:04:18]
OJ found innocent by a jury of his peers[00:04:22]
They been f**king with that Ni**a for last five years[00:04:24]
Is it fair is it equal is it just is it right[00:04:27]
Do they do the same sh*t when the defendant face is white[00:04:30]
If white boys doing it well it's success[00:04:32]
When I start doing well it's suspect[00:04:35]
Don't hate me my folks is poor I just got money[00:04:37]
America's five centuries deep in cotton money[00:04:40]
You see a lot of brothers caked up you straight up[00:04:43]
It's new you'all living off of slave traders paper[00:04:45]
But I'm a live though yo I'm a live though[00:04:49]
Putting up the big swing for my kids yo[00:04:51]
Got my mom the fat water front crib yo[00:04:54]

I'm a cop a nice home to provide in[00:04:59]
A safe environment for seeds to reside in[00:05:02]
A fresh whip for my whole family to ride in[00:05:04]
And if I'm still Mr Ni**a[00:05:07]
