Intro: sampled from "The Vapors" by BizMarkie
2
Nothin can save ya
3
Nothin, can save ya
4
Nothin can save ya
5
*scratched* Nothin
6
Just throw your hands in the air
7
And wave 'em like you just don't care
8
Keep 'em there
9
Yo, run the jewels, run the jewels, run the jewels
10
*scratched* Can you feel it
11
Verse One:
12
I used to be rollin like a millionaire
13
Cash in a flash, bankroll to spare
14
Homeboys hangin, champagne and girls
15
Got my main woman Diamonds, my mistress Pearls
16
Everybody laughin at my corny jokes
17
I was stupid; I thought that they were sincere folks
18
It turned out they liked the money and the fame
19
If I ain't get paid, I'd be that nobody James
20
The nobody, who dreamed about bein somebody
21
Chief rocker at the party
22
And they was hangin like, "Yo, I'm your man
23
I don't even care about the ring on your hand"
24
We'd go out to eat and chill
25
But they would go to the bathroom when it was time to pay the bill
26
I didn't notice all the chuckles and laughter
27
Too busy with a female tellin me I'm the master
28
I was slick like, "Huh, do I know you?
29
I got play, here, let me show ya"
30
Used to have a girl that was on the ball
31
When the cash flow got low, so did her calls
32
Used to have a homeboy, always chillin
33
My cash went low, he told me I was illin
34
And don't call cause he don't hang with derelicts
35
Broke with no cash, yo, I was in the mix
36
Everybody stepped cause my pocket wasn't fat
37
My girl got a new man, I fixed his flat
38
I'm the one that they're laughin' at
39
They say, "Cheesy rat, you ain't all that"
40
Chorus: *BizMarkie again*
41
Can you feel it?
42
Can you feel it?
43
Can you feel it?
44
Can you feel it?
45
Nothin can save ya
46
Verse Two:
47
I mean crabbin, played out by backstabbin; I feel like tiein
48
a anchor to my ankle and jumpin right in the ocean
49
Cause I'm ashy and I can't afford lotion
50
So-called friends in the jewelry store
51
Told me, "Todd, come back when you get off tour"
52
Souped as hell, I really regret it
53
Now the only thing I got in my pocket is bad credit
54
How can a man like me
55
be walkin around in a world of misery?
56
And if women like a man with a body, it's not mine
57
Cause they be walkin past me like I'm a stop sign
58
My homeboys laugh when they pass the forty
59
Sayin, "Todd, as if he used to have a sporty"
60
The Benz was slammin, the Jeep was pumpin
61
Ain't that somethin?
62
I just laugh, this isn't what I was raised for
63
When I walk away, it's like ain't this a
64
kick in the rear, that I'm standin here
65
And can't afford a tissue for my tear
66
Should I drink wine and brandy
67
or get a job puttin stripes on candy
68
Or put a hole in donuts?
69
Cause when you're broke, your middle name is "so-what?"
70
I had to learn in an incredibly fast way
71
When you ain't got no money they treat you like an ashtray
72
I pawned all my jewelry and clothes
73
Right after that, I got dissed by all the hoes
74
that I thought was mine, but really never was
75
Soon the whole neighborhood got the buzz
76
That my tank was on "E", and that means empty
77
That Twinkie looks good, so mister don't tempt me
78
Everybody thought I was trippin
79
I rode the back of the bus, but my grip kept on slippin
80
I'm the man that they're laughin at
81
They say, "Cheesy rat, you ain't all that"
82
Repeat chorus
83
Verse Three:
84
I wanna hang with my man like, "Let's do this"
85
But this man like "Who this?"
86
That's right, the brother got two faces
87
They got me puttin the tips on shoelaces
88
P on the Puma, a mop and a bucket
89
My motto is... I don't care
90
I don't give a damn, so what, why try?
91
I might as well rob some Blake Carrington sucker for his money
92
It's so funny
93
Cars ride by with the boomin system
94
Sayin, "Leave him alone, my man already dissed him"
95
Now I'm on the cheeseline, poverty-stricken
96
As the red tape thickens
97
I go to the park, they wanna baseball-bat me
98
I go to the mall, they throw my old tapes at me
99
I'm so horny
100
And every girl I know be like, "He's so corny"
101
I want money in a hurry
102
I'm gettin tired of leftover curry
103
I wanna fall off, but I don't know where the edge is
104
I'm so hungry, I eat my neighbor's hedges
105
Now I realize I gotta go for mine
106
It's windshield time
107
I take quarters, pennies, dimes and nickles
108
and a kiddy's tricycle
109
I'm a desperado
110
"I'ma steal your rims" is my motto
111
I watch wrestlin until I'm dizzy sore
112
So if you're cashin your rent check, know how to get busy
113
Go to the drive-through, run with a milkshake
114
Go to the supermarket, pocket a raw steak
115
I need beer
116
I'ma catch the Miller truck out there
117
You know how they throw, the newspapers in the morning
118
The owner don't want em
119
I'm the man that they're laughin at
120
They say, "Cheesy rat, you ain't all that."
121
Repeat chorus
122
Outro:
123
So yo, one more time, one more time
124
Party people in the house tonight
125
Just throw your hands in the air
126
And wave em like you just don't care
127
Keep em there
128
Run the jewels, run the jewels, run the jewels
