2
Hey look at this! I was cleaning out my nest
3
And I found a book of my old poetry
4
(Ice Cube)
5
Fresh out of school cause I was a high school grad
6
Gots to get a job 'cause I was a high school dad
7
Wish I got paid like I was rappin' to the nation
8
But that's not likely so here's my application
9
Pass it to the man at AT&T
10
'Cause when I was in school I got the A-E-E
11
But there's no S-E for this youngsta
12
I didn't have no money so now I have to hunch the
13
Back like a slave, that's what be happenin'
14
But whitey says there's no room for the African
15
Always knew that I would clock G's
16
But welcome to McDonald's can I take your order please
17
Gotta sell ya food that might give you cancer
18
'Cause my son doesn't take no for an answer
19
Now I pay taxes that you never give me back
20
What about diapers, bottles, and similac
21
Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack
22
For decent shelter and clothes on my back?
23
Or should I just wait for help from Bush
24
Or Jesse Jackson, and operation Push
25
If you ask me the whole thing needs a douch e
26
A masengel what the hell cracker sell in the neighborhood
27
To the corner house bitches,
28
Miss porker, little Joe or Todd Bridges
29
Or anybody that he know
30
So I got me a bird, better known as a kilo
31
Now everybody know I went from po' to a nigga that got dough
32
So now you put the feds against me
33
'Cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency
34
I'm never givin' love again
35
'Cause blacks are too fuckin' broke to be republican
36
Now I remember I used to be cool
37
Till I stopped fillin' out my W-2
38
Now senators are gettin' high
39
And your plan against the ghetto backfired
40
So now you got a pep talk
41
But sorry, this is our only room to walk
42
'Cause we don't want to drug push
43
But a bird in the hand is worth more than the bush
44
Tell the politicians, the hustlers: live and let live (yeah)
45
Tell the politicians, the hustlers: live and let live (yeah)
