Hidin' in the corridor until we see the beam from car headlights
25
White boy in' the wrong place at the right time

Soon as the car door open up he mine

Gimme the do' from your pickups

You ran into the wrong niggaz
32
We runnin' down the block hot with these stacks of boxes

'Cause when we was spooked as shit then we was targets
50
Now we just walk right up and say, "Charge it!"

Well known at department store chains

54
Po po never know who to true blame
55
Sto' after sto' you know we kept rollin'
56
Wait two weeks, report the car stolen
57
Repeat the cycle like a like a laundry mat
58
Like a glitch in the system it's hard to catch
59
Comin' out the mall with the shoppin' bags
60
We can take it right back then get the cash
61
Yeah, get a friend and then do it again
62
Damn right, that's how we paid the rent
63

82
Get up early get in the line and just wait
83
Everybody on break that's part of the game
84
And when they call your name
85

86

My sad story made her feel close to me
91
I made her feel like it was an emergency
92
When I came to the crib niggaz couldn't believe
93
I came back with a big bag of groceries, hell yeah
94
Every job I ever had I had to get on the first day
95
I find out how to pimp on the system
96
Two steps ahead of the manager
97
Gettin' over on the regular tax free money out of the register
98
And when I'm workin' late nights
99
Stockin' boxes I'm creepin' they merchandise
100
And don't put me on dishes I'm droppin' them bitches
101
And takin' all day long to mop the kitchen shit
102
We ain't gettin' paid commission, minimum wage
103
Modern day slave conditions
104
Got me flippin' burgers with no power
105
Can't even buy one off what I make in an hour
106
I'm not the one to kiss ass for the top position
107
I take mine off the top like a politician
108
Where I'm from doin' dirt is a part of living
109
I got mouths to feed, dawg, I gots to get it

117
And show that you ready to ride

'Til we get our freedom
119
We got to get over
120
Please steady on the grind
121
If you claimin' gangsta

Then bring on the system
123
And show that you ready to ride
124
'Til we get our freedom

We got to get over
