Hey look at this[00:00:00]
I was cleaning out my nest[00:00:01]
And I found a book of my old poetry[00:00:03]
Fresh out of school 'cause I was a high school grad[00:00:15]
Gots to get a job 'cuz I was a high school dad[00:00:17]
Wish I got paid like I was rappin' to the nation[00:00:20]
But thats not likely so here's my application[00:00:23]
Pass it to the man at AT&T[00:00:25]
'Cuz when I was in school I got the a e e[00:00:28]
But there's no s e for this youngsta[00:00:31]
I didn't have no money so now I have to hunch the[00:00:33]
Back like a slave that's what be happenin[00:00:36]
But whitey says there's no room for the African[00:00:38]
Always knew that I would boycott jeez[00:00:41]
But welcome to McDonalds[00:00:44]
Can I take your order please[00:00:45]
Gotta sell ya food that might give you cancer[00:00:47]
'Cuz my baby doesn't take no for an answer[00:00:49]
Now I pay taxes that you never give me back[00:00:52]
What about diapers bottles and similac[00:00:55]
Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack[00:00:57]
For decent shelter and clothes on my back[00:00:59]
Or should I just wait for help from Bush[00:01:02]
Or Jesse Jackson and operation Push[00:01:05]
If you ask me the whole thing needs a douch[00:01:08]
A masengel what the hell cracker sale[00:01:10]
In the neighborhood[00:01:13]
To the whorehouse b**ches[00:01:14]
Miss porker little joe or Todd Bridges[00:01:16]
Or anybody that he know[00:01:19]
So I got me a bird better known as a kilo[00:01:21]
Now everybody know[00:01:24]
I went from po' to a ni**a that got dough[00:01:26]
So now you put the feds against me[00:01:30]
'Cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency[00:01:32]
I'm never givin' love again[00:01:35]
'Cuz blacks are too f**kin broke to be republican[00:01:37]
Now I remember I used to be cool[00:01:40]
Till I stopped fillin' out my W 2[00:01:43]
Now senators are gettin' hired[00:01:46]
And your plan against the ghetto backfired[00:01:48]
So now you got a pep talk[00:01:51]
But sorry this is our only room to walk[00:01:53]
'Cause we don't want a drug push[00:01:56]
But a bird in the hand is worth more than the bush[00:01:58]
Tell the politicians the hustlers live and let live yeah[00:02:06]
Tell the politicians the hustlers live and let live yeah[00:02:12]
