lyrics

“I ain’t even, uh
I ain’t even, uh uh
I ain’t even listen to a word you said
I ain’t even, uh
I ain’t even, uh uh
I ain’t even heard a word you said right now
I ain’t, uh
I ain’t even, uh uh
I ain’t even listen to a word you said
I ain’t even, uh
I ain’t even, uh uh
I ain’t even heard a word you said-”

Just give me a chance to speak
You don't even have to agree
Na, you can just dance, if you want
That's why I made this song.
Lt. Dan, you have a little time to turn back
Or you could just stay
either way, while you decide, I’ma let the track play

Now, if you say “nigga” then bounce real slow
It's ok, just bounce real slow
Don't move your hips just bounce real slow
What are YOU doing!? Just bounce real slow
Now move your hips and bounce real slow
You can do it just bounce real slow
Move your hips just bounce real slow
I don't even know how you found this song, but
Since you're here let's discuss something
“Hold it steady, you’re already tryna touch buttons?”
No, I wasn’t.
But I love to run off my mouth, and you're about to hear me out
See, I’d be illegal 60 years ago, colored people couldn’t have a seed with a non-colored “equal”
At least not where I grew up
But thankfully that all got stopped by the time I was born
But I still felt the scorn of being half white in an all white norm
If you're unfamiliar with being biracial, let me educate you:
Half a nigger’s still a nigger to a bigot
Don’t worry though, you’re probably not a bigot
Probably never say “nigga”
You’ve probably never benefited from a “system”
Here we go using words like “system” and “systemic”,
“Institutions”, ‘“excuse” you choose to use “nigga”’

I ain’t never say that
I’m just saying that “black” isn’t-

“NO, n-n-no, no, n-n-no no no, I ain’t even, nuh
I ain’t even, uh uh
I ain’t even listen to a word you said
I ain’t even, uh
I ain’t even, nuh uh
I ain’t even heard a word you said right now
I ain’t, nuh
I ain’t even, nuh uh
I ain’t even listen to a word you said
I ain’t even, uh
I ain’t even, uh uh
I ain’t even heard a word you said-

Just don't’ say “nigga”
Do you know how much hurt that word has caused?
The pain that it birthed us or
The curses they cursed us with because our skin looked like dirt?”

Well, sure, but dirt’s just another word for earth so…
That premise is flawed
And that’s just the way words work
Each usage is formed by the uses before it.
We use and reuse. Older forms get reformed by the group.
Who are you or they to say that it can change one day and not the next 500 years?
Don’t dictionary’s update one time every year?
New word enter in, old terms get replaced, some lines disappear like-

“Nuh, I ain’t even, uh uh
I ain’t even listen to a word you said
I ain’t even, uh
I ain’t even, nuh uh
I ain’t even heard a word you said right now
I ain’t, uh
I ain’t even, uh uh
I ain’t even listen to a word you said
I ain’t even, nuh
I ain’t even, nuh uh
I ain’t even heard a word you said-”

Just give me a chance to speak
You don't even have to agree
Na, you can just dance, if you want
That's why I made this song.
Lt. Dan, you have a little time to turn back
Or you could just stay
either way, while you decide, I’ma let the track play

“Wait, YOU AIN’T ANSWERS SWAY!”
And I ain’t got the answers either yeezus
JESUS: what is “is Lord” for a thousand
Look, I found the answer!
I’m so proud of me that how doubt would if be if Kanye ever quoted me?
YO! That would be totally propylene,
hopefully, I can set a goal that won’t exceed my reach.
Overreach? Outreach. Southbeach! Yo, you think you better than me?
Nuh, uh, but I can guarantee I more detail oriented
I believe I’m for female-oriented
You’d agree if you could see me orienting
“what's that mean?”
It means I stay on my knees, interceding for niggas
Tryna plead for you niggas like, “please get these niggas home safe, Lord, do whatever it takes.
If You got to break something, break something for them, take something from them, shake ‘em
Change up the formula, replace the saves in their hard drives
I’ve been in the archives
Man, I’m only part white.
I stay on that dark time,
If the count is “three” then you know I’m startin’ on “five”
Call time? Yall guys know I don’t usually get here on time.
But that's alright, cause I’m part time, and the pay's good
Man, you’re all nice. Why you tryna start fights?

Don’t say “nigga”, just say “nigga” just say
Just say “nigga”, Don't say “nigga” don’t say
Don’t say “nigga”, just say “nigga” just say
Just say “nigga”, Don't say “nigga” don’t say
Don’t say “nigga”, just say “nigga” just say
Just say “nigga”, Don't say “nigga” don’t say
