"Nigger hasn't always meant a man with melanin It used to be a piece of wood that sat on the cotton gin Masta put it there and it wouldn't move, smooth So what does it mean to be a Nigga With an Attitude? ... Cause it's all about a mind-tamed mind-frame The system is a chess game where pawns are the same ... Identifying Self is a part of being concious If I call myself a gangsta then I'll rob you with a gat If I call myself a brotha then you know I got your back If I call myself oppressed then I'm clear on where I'm at But if I call myself a nigga what the fuck is that?"

Or, if you prefer E-Roc:
"If I took the 'T' out would I still mean bitch?"
