Patti Smith - Rock 'N' Roll Nigger Lyrics
Baby was a black sheep. Baby was a whore.
Baby got big and baby get bigger.
Baby get something. Baby get more.
Baby, baby, baby was a rock-and-roll nigger.
Oh, look around you, all around you,
Do you like the world around you?
Are you ready to behave?
Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.
Outside of society, that's where I want to be.
(Lenny!)
Baby was a black sheep. Baby was a whore.
You know she got big. Well, she's gonna get bigger.
Baby, baby, baby is a rock-and-roll nigger.
Outside of society, that's where I want to be.
Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.
(Those who have suffered, understand suffering,
and thereby extend their hand
the storm that brings harm
also makes fertile
blessed is the grass
and herb and the true thorn and light)
I was lost in a valley of pleasure.
I was lost in the infinite sea.
I was lost, and measure for measure,
love spewed from the heart of me.
I was lost, and the cost,
and the cost didn't matter to me.
I was lost, and the cost
was to be outside society.
Jimi Hendrix was a nigger.
Jesus Christ and Grandma, too.
Jackson Pollock was a nigger.
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger,
nigger, nigger, nigger.
Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.
Outside of society, if you're looking,
that's where you'll find me.
Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.
Outside of society. [Repeat]

Patti Smith Rock 'N' Roll Nigger Comments
It's actually catchy
Chill guys! She has the N-word pass
I give it a few weeks before she gets cancelled.....
Happy 2020!!!!!!!!!BABY BABY BABY IS A ROCK N ROLL NIGGER! OUTSIDE THE SOCIETY IS WAITING FOR ME! OUTSIDE THE SOCIETY IS WHERE I WANNA BE! feliz 2020 motherfuckers!
What a loser
the tune is so horrible and everything about this song is just ugly bc of use of the n word and no one in this “group” has anyway to use that ugly word and I personally don’t like it and I wish this never existed
Freedom of speech means letting people express their thoughts even though it is offensive to others. You don’t have to agree with them or like it.
Rock n Roll Niggers!
If you ignore the racial undertones this song is an absolute banger
Well yeah!
We can always find SOMETHING to be offended by, in order to make everyone else miserable, right?
Some people even make a living out of that sort of thing.....
Where would we all be in life, if we didn't constantly have all these grifters, perverts, crooks, hypocrites, kickback artists and flimflam hustlers telling us what to say, think, and do in life?
Total chaos!!
She somehow saw the future. Death, Pure Hell, Bad Brains...✊☻🤘
Why is this on my suggestion feed YouTube?
It’s almost like YouTube wants us to see how unorganized they are.
Cute.... this was in my recommendations
2:38 heeeeyy wooooooo wooooo wooo take it easy !! Not cool bro not cool
Everyone saying n word 😂😂😂 what a bunch of fucking negative nancys ! Nobody's ! Nerd's! Noobs!
This song would be banned today because of the pc bs.
Yo I like her style...
I've been watching Star Wars reviews and videos on the 4th and 5th dimensions. So, naturally this appeared in my recommended videos to watch.
Well it is Patti Smith....lol
Great Recommendation on Boxing Day.
my jaw DROPPED
Really!!!!
And just like that... I am no longer a Patti Smith fan
And just like that... the whole world came to an end
See how that doesn't work?
Let the white girls say “nigger”
Quite simply... Marvellous..
Why is this recommended? YouTube you're tripping.
Did I read that title right???
R u blind maggot

What the fuck do you think. Why don't you do something about it bitch.
*MRS OBAMA GET DOWN*
Why did YouTube recommend this
Cuss you're a fkin queer
Nigga please
Rock n Roll African American🤣
Whoever thinks she was racist is stupid as fuck. All caught up in nowadays situation
why the fuck is this in my recommended??
I only listen to house & drum n bass YouTube. Where did this come from?
I met Patti before she made this song. She asked me for the pass, and she was such a sweetheart.. I had no choice but to give it to her and her friends.
Who gave her the pass?
The 1st amendment bitch
wait. thats illegal.
Not anymore bitch
What's wrong with the YouTube algorithm?? Wtf??
So this Is what Manson covered
I had to read the title a couple if times 😂😂😂
Well YouTube Algorithm 👏 Marilyn Manson did a version of this on the Smells Like Children EP.
I dont think anyone was offended it's just inevitable that a shit group sang it.
still kickin ass
🙋🏼♂️I salute you patti!
Youtube trying to bridge gaps... or make them!?! LOL
Wtf.
Only at 2am
The title threw me off but ngl this song is catchy asf
Why was this in my recommendations 😂😂😂 so confused 🤦🏾♂️
I was really surprised to see this in my recommended
I never heard of them...
Gonna be Trump's 2020 inauguration song. Keep America great!!!!
YouTube gone wild
I came to see all the white peoples comments still astounded by the word nigger.... y’all need some f*cking ethnic friends ...
Patti Smith and John Lennon get the n pass
Huh, I didn't know Patti Smith was a gamer.
Kids these days, Patti is the real fucking deal.
I just found a cd from her and saw that one of the songs was called this. I’m wondering where it came from.. lmaooo
Kinda sexy how unashamed she is of that armpit hair.
Bruhh I swear she looks like young Trent Reznor in a wig lol
She said “Rock ‘N’ Roll Nigga” not da actual n word dat ends in an er.
Why was this in my recommendations again? Jesus Christ.
I’m gasping for air rn LMFAOSOSOSISOSOSISI
what the heck?
I ' M G O N N A S A Y T H E N - W O R D.
Okay first off I am is left wing as you can get and was in fact a punk rocker in the seventies and eighties but holy cow you people are easily offended nowadays no one needs to stifle their speech to suit your sensibilities... great song and album by the way!
Youtube: Saying the word gay is an offense and demonetizeable.
Also youtube:
The guitar and bass sounds like Hawkwind combined with a folk music group!
The original song about living in a society, saying the gamer word.
Patti Smith was the OG gamer girl
Um, why YouTube
Huh, I did read that right.. Thought it said "Tiger".
Rock 'n' roll nigga🤔. Alright😬
To everyone offended by the use of the n-word in this song; this is what punk was. Pushing the boundaries beyond its limits. It may not be cool now but this, this is what made punk
Exactly !
Immensa... pavia 15 12 2019 teatro Fraschini
I respect patti Smith as an artist but... there are people here acting like racism wasn’t around in the 70’s and as if this song coming out back then justified her saying the n word.... like... excuse me what???
I don’t remember her getting a N-word pass
How was this put on here lmao
I blast this with the windows open on the way to work and get looks
The title caught me off guard 😫😭☠️
Lol why???
Can someone explain this to me because I’m confused 😂
Similar to Marilyn Manson’s version.
Hypocritical YouTube at it again. Fucking goons.
i was doing my own thing and out of nowhere youtube put this in my recommendations
wha-
Man, some people are offended so easily. The song is not about black people, but it's about being an outsider. Black people we're not given the basic human rights that all human beings are entitled to in those days, but she self-identified as a "nigger" because it was somewhat like a rebellious belief. It was a word she believed summed up everything the right way.
They just booked for reasons to be offended and the concept of the song being about being an outsider is totally beyond their comprehension
So Fireball by pitbull is age restricted but this is okay?
ight then
it 2019, whaddya expect?
Why is this in my recommended. Well let's wait for all the easily triggered black people on here or white people behind them.
Yet yt bans weed tubers😞
OH MY GOD! A girl with her armpit shaved! That is really offensive! BAN IT!
YouTube needs to take this down right now like what is wrong with them
The song isn't about black people it's about being an outsider to society listen to the lyrics to the song not one singled out fucking word idiot
Damn alright YouTube, you be wilding out here
Thanks youtube recommendations!
Very cool!
Apparently Patti Smith did it 1978 I thought it was a Marilyn Manson song from 1995.
She wrote this song because Donald Trump is president.
