[Intro:]
2
(W. C)
3
Man I aint gon be shit in the morning after drinking that uh...
4
(Ice Cube)
5
If I can sell you the american dream, I can sell you anything
6
[Verse 1-Ice Cube]
7
I got to get out, I'm getting put out of my house
8
I got to pack up, my refrigerator and couch
9
It's a set up, but the bank wants me out
10
Or the L. A. P. D. Will smoke me out
11
This adjustable rate, it choke me out
12
They gave me a loan and I had no clout
13
They gave me a house, for me and my spouse
14
Call my momma and my aunt,
15
Y'all should re-finance,
16
I let them dance with the devil,
17
Dig they own grave and I gave them the shovel
18
Fuck, my daddy built that house
19
And when he got drunk he almost killed that house
20
Is this the american dream, or the american scheme?
21
That got me walking these american streets?
22
It's kinda sad when you have to get a hernia,
23
Cuz you help your grandmama move furniture
24
(Pause) if I can sell you the american dream, I can sell you anything,
25
Look at this maggot, with a stimulus package
26
I can give a fuck about a dow Jones average
27
What the fuck you do when your paycheck is average?
28
Law abiding citizen turn into a savage,
29
Got to feed the children, got to feed the habit
30
Fell into a rabbit hole, chasing that rabbit
31
Now I'm in wonderland feeling like the son of Sam
32
I'm at your west coast branch, gun in hand
33
Imma feel like superman,
34
Walk by the teller, better call the trooper, man
35
It's the revenge of the lambs:
36
"big bad wolf, we're sick of these scams"
37
Sick of these plans, sick of this dance
38
Walk in to his office, took the 9 out my pants
39
You're not a man, you're a servant
40
Then I prayed to God and let the 9 get to work
41
[Chorus](Ice Cube)
42
I better get to workin'
43
You know I heard they hood robbin', your money or your life and there ain't no stopping 'em
44
You know I heard they hood robbin', your money or your life and there ain't no stopping 'em
45
Ain't that a bitch,
46
When you got to steal from the poor, and give to the rich
47
Ain't that a bitch,
48
When you got to steal from the poor, and give to the rich
49
[Verse 2- Ice Cube]
50
Uh, drug dealer M. D
51
Doctor feel good, give you what you need
52
In California, prescribe that weed
53
Oxycontin and Codeine
54
Turn your grandmama into a fiend
55
I see the sign, not at first, it ain't free
56
I know you bout to die, but let me see your I. D
57
I know you bout to lie, but can you pay this fee?
58
If you can't pay, then please have a seat
59
You can't see a doctor but you could see a priest
60
We can't save your life until you get some insurance
61
Your premium is paid, at that assurance
62
I hope you got endurance,
63
They got me on hold and I'm under the influence
64
Nurse high as a kite,
65
In charge with my life,
66
And everything is lost,
67
Without blue cross
68
[Chorus](Ice Cube)
69
You know I heard they hood robbin', your money or your life and there ain't no stopping 'em
70
You know I heard they hood robbin', your money or your life and there ain't no stopping 'em
71
Ain't that a bitch,
72
When you got to steal from the poor, and give to the rich
73
Ain't that a bitch,
74
When you got to steal from the poor, and give to the rich
75
[Outro:]
76
Whatever you need, we got it for cheap right here baby
77
This America, it ain't gon' cost ya nothin...
78
But a arm and a leg...
79
Maybe one of them motherfuckin ears, haha
80
Don't trip, just put in on ya credit card...
81
Put it in ya baby' name, haha
