Man By Choice Lyrics - Kardinal Offishall

He's got the green timbs with the fat laces 

Yo, yeah, checkin' in, nigga 

You say why I call you nigga, think about it 

You went from what 

From an African, straight to a nigger, you know what I'm saying 

We traveling over to what, to what 

Negro and then we went to what 

Then we went to black 

And then it like was on some Afro-American stuff 

Afro-Canadian what have you, but guess what 

Don't matter what you call yourself 

It's what they call you behind your back 

Nigga, straight up 

Straight up and down, you know what I'm sayin'

A yo, walkin' through the uptown, a black man 

(Nigga) 

A yo, walkin' down Yonge St., a black man 

(Nigga) 

A yo, walkin' through Flatbush, a black man 

(Nigga) 

When the revolution comes I got a finger on the trigga 

I was born a regular man of the Earth 

With a curse to walk like a soldier since birth 

My exterior is shaded in by my melanin 

Stereotype of my type is a felon 

My people cause static 

'Cause automatically now a days we fire automatics 

Grammatically adequate my people come equipped 

With enough lyrics to move battleships 

Blood brother ever since the slave ships 

Photos 

It doesn't matter who I am when I walk by 

They still see me as a nigga when I walk by 

That's okay, this nigga will play the role and come again 

And take back the Earth another day 

I'm a nigga, baby, we some niggaz, baby 

Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks 

But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga 

A yo, walkin' through London, a black man 

(Nigga) 

A yo, walkin' through Rexdale, a black man 

(Nigga) 

A yo, strollin' through Dectaur as a black man 

(Nigga) 

Yo, I was born to emcee representin' with the Figurez 

I can taste the history livin' in my bones 

For the thickness I got a love jones 

I like my girls with the nappy dug out, hips and chest buss out 

Lips real full, gettin' ready to cuss out 

Parasuco gettin' insulated by the structure 

Body so powered that the labels be stickin' out in 3-D 

We salute the ladies, raped over time pushin' out light babies 

The slave masters with the devil in their eye 

Saw nothin' but a nigga when you walked by 

But you the mother of creation 

Let's bring back the family aspect and try to build a strong nation 

I'm a nigga, baby, we some niggaz, baby 

Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks 

But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga 

A yo, walkin' through Chinatown, a black man 

(Nigga) 

A yo, walkin' through the projects, a black man 

(Nigga) 

A yo, walkin' through Africa, a black man 

(Nigga) 

Some try to disrespect to make themselves look bigger 

I am a nigga since birth, a man by choice 

Some men act niggerish pushin' Rolls Royces 

Thinkin' them toys make a man 

While you johnin' them hookers, we tryin' to make a stand 

What you believe in? 

Chris Rock? Or crack rock? 

Soft rock? Or hard rock? 

When I talk the whole world rocks 

Like the vote, we can change thinkin' 

Before you set a float your whole concepts sinkin' 

You know I like to see you back that ass up 

But before you pass up, you should get your damn class up 

Take the hood out your mouth and parle 

So we can take back the world right now, today 

I'm a nigga baby, we some niggaz baby 

Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks 

But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga 

I'm a nigga baby, we some niggaz baby 

Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks 

But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga 

I'm a nigga baby, we some niggaz baby 

Some do walk, some do talk, some may buss their glocks 

But I'm a nigga for life and a man by choice, nigga 

I'm a nigga
