I can't take it

[chorus]
8
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
9
This is for my folkers, um check one, two
10
This is for my folkers never live like a hog
11
me and you toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
12
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
13
This is for my folkers, um check one, two
14
This is for my folkers never live like a hog
15
me and you toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
16
I raise this glass for the ones who die meaninglessly
17
and the newborns who get fed intravenously
18
Somebody's momma caught a job and a welfare fraud case
19
when she breathes she swear it feels like plastic wrap around her face
20
Lights turned off and it's the third month the rent is late
21
Thoughts of being homeless cryin' 'til you hyperventilate
22
Despair permeates the air and sets in yo' hair
23
The kids play with that one toy they learned how to share
24
Comin' home don't never seem to be a celebration
25
Bills they piled up on the coffee table like they decoration
26
Heapin' sppons of peanut butter, big ass glass a water
27
make the hunger subside, save the real food fo' your daughter
28
Ya feel like swingin' haymakers at a movin' truck
29
Ya feel like laughin' so it seem like you don't give a fuck
30
you feel gettin' so high you'll smoke the whole damn crop
31
ya feel like cryin' but ya think that you might never stop
32
Homeless with no heat, stiff in your joint like arthritis
33
If this was fiction it'd be easier to write this
34
Some folks try to front like they so above you
35
they'd tear this motherfucker up if they really loved you
36
and so would...
37
[chorus]
38
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
39
This is for my folkers, um check one, two
40
This is for my folkers never live like a hog
41
me and you toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
42
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
43
This is for my folkers, um check one, two
44
This is for my folkers never live like a hog
45
me and you toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
46
There's certain tricks of the trade to try to halt your defeat
47
like takin' tupperware to an all you can eat
48
Returnin' used shit for new, sayin' ya lost yo' receipt
49
and writin' four figure checks when your account's deplete
50
Then all yo' problems pile up, about a mile up
51
Thinkin' 'bout a partna you could dial up to help you out this foul stuff
52
Whole family sleepin' on the futon
53
while you clippin' coupons
54
eatin' salad tryin' to get full of the croutons
55
Across town the situation is identical
56
Somebody gettin' strangled by the system and its tentacles
57
Misconceptions raise questions to be solved
58
A lot of b-boys is broke, a lot of homeless got jobs
59
You could make eight bones and hour 'til ya pass out and still be assed out
60
Most pyramid schemes don't let ya cash out
61
They say this generation make the harmony break
62
But crime rise consistent with the harmony rate
63
Ya take the people from jobs, you goin' have murders and mobs
64
A gang of preachers screamin' sermons over murmurs and sobs
65
Sayin' pray for a change from the lord above you
66
They'd tear this motherfucker up if they really loved you
67
and so would...
68
[chorus]
69
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
70
This is for my folkers, um check one, two
71
This is for my folkers never live like a hog
72
me and you toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
73
This is for my folkers who got bills overdue
74
This is for my folkers, um check one, two
75
This is for my folkers never live like a hog
76
me and you toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
77
You like this song cause it's relate
78
It's you in the rhyme
79
We go to stores that only let us in two at a time
80
We live in places where it costs to get yo' check cashed
81
Arguments about money usually drown out the tec blast
82
Work six days a week, can't sleep Saturdays though
83
Muscles tremin' like a pager when the battery's low
84
And you just don't know where the years went
85
Although every long shift feels like a year spent
86
And you could write your resume, but it wouldn't even mention
87
all the life lessons learned during six years of detention
88
Or how you learned the police was just some handicappers
89
On the ground next to broken glass and candy wrappers
90
Now don't accept my collects on the phone
91
just hit me at the house so I know I ain't alone
92
And we could chop it up, 'bout this messed up system
93
Homies that's been killed, how we always goin' miss 'em
94
It's almost impossible survivin' on this fraction
95
sip a forty to the brain for the chemical reaction
96
You gotta hustle 'cause they tryin' to push and shove you
97
I'll tear this motherfucker up 'cause I really love you
98
and so would...
99
This is for my folkers who got rent over due
100
This is for my folkers, um check one, two
101
This is for my folkers never live like a hog
102
Me and you toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
103
This is for my folkers who got rent over due
104
This is for my folkers, um check one, two
105
This is for my folkers never live like a hog
106
Me and you toe to toe, I got love for the underdog
107
[phone rings]
108

111

113
My mom, she ya know, she broke down, started cryin' She wanted to beat the dude up with a bat
114
But uh, anyway
115
Why, what's goin' on tonight
116
I ain't got no money
