Negro Wit An Ego
Salt N Pepa

Here we go, I'm a Negro with an ego

(Yo)

So, don't tell me what I'm doin' is illegal

No, I resort to violence only when provoked

Contrary to rumors I'm no joke

If I sound hard it's because I'm peed off

And do you wanna know why? Go 'head tell 'em Salt

All right, let me explain what upset me

No we ain't tryin' to be sexy

Dismiss is quick with a miss like a tongue

'Cuz I'd run if I was a chick

Pick up a hit list

And I'm-a kick it like this

The word is out, you played me out

I won't scream and shout, straighten it out now

Don't lie and spy, stop tryin' to connive me

Slow your roll, you don't even know me

I'm not a militant but I'm equivalent

To an activist, all I'm after is cheer among all

I don't care if they're big or small, short or tall

We've got to stand to fall, ain't that right, y'all?

Now all I can talk about is what I know

And all I know about is what I witness

What I witness is what I see

Me, way below status quo 'cuz I'm a Negro with an ego

Yo, that don't go

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

I'm black and I'm proud to be a

African-American Soul Sister

Usin' my mind as a weapon, a lethal injection

And oh yes, I'm the best in whatever I do

I do better, I'm clever

I never half-step ask Salt or Pepa

We're partners in rhyme, one of a kind

This affair is rare and you will never find

Another like me, gimme the mic, it's mine

Keep your mitts off this, yo, Salt, it's time

To let the public know the subject of the show

Is what America calls a Negro with an ego

Yo, that don't go, that's a negative so

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

Porche, Benz and BM's are all suitable

For people who sell pharmaceutical

That's a stereotype, that's the hype

Don't ask me why I have an attitude

(All right)

When I drop a nine-eleven on my 200C

The cops are surprised to see, a minority

Behind the wheel of this car, it must be narcotics

How else could she have got it?

A brown-skinned female with two problems to correct

Wrong color, wrong sex

Sometimes I feel the real deal is to be a rebel

But that would bring me down to their level

I won't settle for that, it's unacceptable

'Cuz Salt-N-Pepa's always very respectable

Sometimes we get crazy and outta hand

But it's all in the fun of makin' everybody dance

I'm proud of

Who and what I am

So call me a Negro with an ego

And get ready to go blow for blow

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

Put some faith in your race

Faith, faith

Faith, faith

Faith, faith
