The brothers was stuck on Chuck without a mind set
4
I got tired of watchin "Good Times"
5

6
My momma was ridin on the bus tryna get to work
7
Early in the morn', it's cold and her knees hurt
8
She got a .38 sittin in her purse
9
Cause my moms was the King County Jail nurse
10
So how in the hell could you tell Mix
11
That I never lived this, when you was just a snotty nose age six
12
Young buck, just graduate
13
And your lyin when you say your street educated
14
Cause I'ma veteran boy and you's a new booty
15
So stop frontin to your friends like you knew me
16
Cause you don't and you never did, kid
17
So FUCK your respect and the shit you claim ya did
18
To all ya real, when ya claimin ya gang bang
19
Doin everythin to gain fame and get yourself a name
20
But I done seen my homies gettin smoked over dice games
21
When you was still at home doin nice things
22
Back in the days of turtle wax on Cadillacs
23
Life to a brother was hoes and macks
24
I had to come up some way
25
Pimp daddies and ex-Black Panthers used to school me
26
Why moms was puttin in eight to twelve
27
I was in the hood gettin schooled on makin mail
28
I can't let my moms die a poor black sister
29
Gotta make her richer

[Verse 2 - Sir Mix-A-Lot]
38
Back when MLK Way was Empire Way
39
I was stuck on broke, but I used to hear pimps say
40
Better get what you can get before you get got
41
Come up and snatch yours and buy yourself a nice spot
42
And that's stuck in my head 'til this day G
43
So I apply pimp game to life you see
44
But I ain't beatin on my sister in the streets
45
I'ma focus on my real enemy, yeah
46
So if I'm pimpin, then who's my hoeys
47
In D.C. livin in a big white house bro
48
Changes his name every four years
49
Mr. Carter caught me slippin, but Reagan wasn't gettin his
50
I never wanted a hand out young Jake
51
I never got jealous over how much a brother makes
52
So I was on my own, no love in the school zone
53
No blacks in the books, so I'm gone
54
And now the only color that I love is green see
55
Cause my history books never taught me about me
56
I may not like where I've been, but I'm lovin where I am
57
Prime rib, fuck Spam
58
So tell me what's real partner

(I fought back, then heat check)
64
(You gon' buy me a motherfuckin car?)
65
[Interlude - Sir Mix-A-Lot]
66
Yeah, I'd much rather be behind the mic, then the gat
67
But the simple fact that my pockets is fat
68
Means I can't relax, you know what I'm sayin?
69
Haha
70
[Verse 3 - Sir Mix-A-Lot]
71
Criticized by the main stream
72
For not bein the house jig and keepin things squeaky clean
73
But I can't, so I ain't
74
But I won't play the hard role just because you think
75
that is real, to say you kill, when you never held steel
76
You try to sing when you rollin in cake-ville
77
Back in the days you was breakdancin see
78
I remember when you had tight pants G
79
So Mr. Rap Critic when you trys to check me
80
about my cars and my girls, claimin you never could respect me
81
You really think I give a damn partner?

84
Hit the Caddy, slam the doors
85
Livin alone, cellular phone
86
Havin no furniture in my home
87
Rollin to Canada, makin my mail
88
Givin a trick a piece of tail
89
Livin it large, keepin it hard
90
Life was kinda odd
91
And rat a tat tat with my gat, sat in my lap G
92
The Hilton Hotel was my spot, I'm runnin my things see
93
I went from hustlin cheese, to double platinum LPs
94
But you still can't feel me
