Baby, baby, baby is a rock-and-roll nigger.

from Patti Smith – Rock N Roll Nigger Lyrics on Rap Genius

Smith wrote this about her use of the n-word in the liner notes of the album that contained this song:

nigger no invented for color it was MADE FOR THE PLAGUE the word (art) must be
Redefined-all mutants and the new babes born sans eyebrow and tonsil-outside logic-beyond
mathematics poli-tricks baptism and motion sickness-any man who extends beyond the classic
for is a nigger-one sans fear and despair-one who rises like rimbaud beating hard gold
rythumn outta soft solid shit-tongue light is coiling serpant is steaming spinal avec ray gun
hissing scanning copper head w/ white enamel eye wet and shining crown reeling thru gleem
vegetation ruby dressing of thy lips puckering whispering pressing high bruised thighs silk route
mark prussian vibrating gushing milk pods of de/light translating new languages new and
abused rock n roll and lashing from tongue of me nigger
