Chorus:

What type of nigga will I, can be? / Great! / I wonder what type of future can I achieve? / Great! / Despite all of the haters / only the God creates us / and he determines the future / and what it gon' be!
Am I a nigga or a young G [god]? / Who determines the price I'm worth and if I'm trophied? / 'Cause no matter if Black or nigga / or holding or lacking figures / I promised to paint the picture of the soul be-ing inward [n-word]

Verse:

I'm a nigga mispronounced / "negro" / every once / Bounce wit' it / Figure out / It's more than [what] comes out your mouth / You can rally or rob me / Call me or card me / However you flip the burger / remember nigga it's all beef / And all streets ain’t all 'bout cocaine / and our songs shouldn't be 'bout / how broads blow brain / It's so lame / how our cars roll lanes / when you still live in the projects / You rims are worth more than you whole frame / I ain’t Black / I'm a Melanite / Check the contradiction / Yo! our ignorance I heller fight / To get from hell to life / Hip-hop's depraved of light / More than a million / I'm trying to get y'all to learn to like --- love! / Like these sistas seem to like thugs / Nightly clubbing / day job selling "nice" drugs / Starblocks coffins / iced out on nice rugs / Sorry for tripping but my mic's bugged

Chorus:

What type of nigga will I, can be? / Great! / I wonder what type of future can I achieve? / Great! / Despite all of the haters / only the God creates us / and he determines the future / and what it gon' be!

Am I a nigga or a young G [god]? / Who determines the price I'm worth and if I'm trophied? / 'Cause no matter if Black or nigga / or holding or lacking figures / I promised to paint the picture of the soul be-ing inward [n-word]

Inward [n-word] is the goal / And pray Yah save our soul / 'Cause I'm bigger than Black or nigga / I'm human made whole

Verse Two:

So now I'm broke in my apart-a-ment / Broken's my heart again / To top it off / my car refuse to start again / Shall I rethink or restate / my position on these traits? / Drug dealing and killing / stealing / selling on wheels "Hate" / to my people / serving to ya un-real rates / For a dime sac or climax / Serve ya death wit' a rebate / The leaves shake 'fore I awake or fall / You can call a whore a lady / 'fore I can worship a real God / on real earth / on real dirt real sod / If you's a crime committing felon / Serve some LIFE behind these bars / And real stars shine in heaven / If you's a boss why the weapons? / Ain’t you strong enough to rep this / by yourself? / What?!? / You need help now? / The game's charged / but your credit cards have been maxed out / I think you'll wanna go and change your style / The times've come for them Better Ones to see cream now

Chorus:

What type of nigga will I, can be? / Great! / I wonder what type of future can I achieve? / Great! / Despite all of the haters / only the God creates us / and he determines the future / and what it gon' be!

Verse Three:

So, now I wonder / what type of nigga am I? / Am I the type who reverence? / or just some ignorant guy? / Cool as the I. / C. E. and foxy as sly / Don't give up / Competitor whose aspirations' is high / So are you the kind who gets offended by the n-word? / Is there something 'bout the letters? Is it inward? / I say "phuq" the connotations that it infers / I'm embracing original meanings. Has it entered / that / these programmed minds often be bitter? / That's why his pops be drinking whisky and he will hit her / Some crap! / And then they hate it when they call Black / men "black" / in the form Latin / Remembering whips that crack / from Crackers' fingers / Sometimes the past it lingers / Rewind and grasp the picture / It's big, but won't forget you / Unless you let it / I pray these blessed Negroes get it / The path reset it / as we imper-fect love!

Chorus:

What type of nigga will I, can be? / Great! / I wonder what type of future can I achieve? / Great! / Despite all of the haters / only the God creates us / and he determines the future / and what it gon' be!
