Verse 1
Bm
(yo) i'm a negro with an ego
So? don't tell me what i'm
Bm
No i resort to violence only
when provoked
D
Bm
Contrary to rumors i'm no joke
If i sound hard it's because
i'm pee ed off
D
And do you wanna know why?
go 'head tell 'em salt
Bm
All right let me explain what upset me
D
No we ain't tryin' to be sexy
Bm
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
Verse 2
Bm
The word is out, you played me out
I won't scream and shout,
stop tryin' to connive me
D
Slow your roll, you don't even know me
Bm
I'm not a militant, but i'm equivilant
D
To an activist, all i'm after
I don't care if they're big or small,
Bm
We've got to stand to fall,
D
ain't that right, y'all?
Verse 3
D
Bm
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
Verse 4
D
Bm
Put some faith in your race (repeat)
Verse 5
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,

Porche, benz, and bm's are all suitable
Verse 6
Bm
Bm
pharmacuticles
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
Behind the wheel of this car,
it must be narcotics
D
How else could she have got it?
Bm
A brown- skinned female with
two problems to correct
Wrong color, wrong sex
Verse 7
Bm
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 and 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
D
And get ready to go blow for blow
