Ll cool j[00:00:02]
Cheesy rat blues[00:00:05]
Nothin can save ya[00:00:07]
Nothin can save ya[00:00:09]
Nothin can save ya[00:00:11]
*scratched* Nothin[00:00:13]
Just throw your hands in the air[00:00:14]
And wave 'em like you just don't care[00:00:16]
Keep 'em there[00:00:18]
Yo run the jewels run the jewels run the jewels[00:00:20]
*scratched* Can you feel it[00:00:21]
I used to be rollin like a millionaire[00:00:23]
Cash in a flash bankroll to spare[00:00:25]
Homeboys hangin champagne and girls[00:00:27]
Got my main woman Diamonds my mistress Pearls[00:00:30]
Everybody laughin at my corny jokes[00:00:32]
I was stupid; I thought that they were sincere folks[00:00:35]
It turned out they liked the money and the fame[00:00:38]
If I ain't get paid I'd be that nobody James[00:00:40]
The nobody who dreamed about bein somebody[00:00:43]
Chief rocker at the party[00:00:45]
And they was hangin like "Yo I'm your man[00:00:47]
I don't even care about the ring on your hand"[00:00:50]
We'd go out to eat and chill[00:00:53]
But they would go to the bathroom when it was time to pay the bill[00:00:54]
I didn't notice all the chuckles and laughter[00:00:58]
Too busy with a female tellin me I'm the master[00:00:59]
I was slick like "Huh do I know you [00:01:02]
I got play here let me show ya"[00:01:05]
Used to have a girl that was on the ball[00:01:07]
When the cash flow got low so did her calls[00:01:09]
Used to have a homeboy always chillin[00:01:11]
My cash went low he told me I was illin[00:01:13]
And don't call cause he don't hang with derelicts[00:01:17]
Broke with no cash yo I was in the mix[00:01:18]
Everybody stepped cause my pocket wasn't fat[00:01:21]
My girl got a new man I fixed his flat[00:01:24]
I'm the one that they're laughin' at[00:01:26]
They say "Cheesy rat you ain't all that"[00:01:28]
Chorus: *BizMarkie again*[00:01:32]
Can you feel it [00:01:34]
Can you feel it [00:01:35]
Can you feel it [00:01:37]
Can you feel it [00:01:38]
Nothin can save ya[00:01:41]
I mean crabbin played out by backstabbin; I feel like tiein[00:01:42]
A anchor to my ankle and jumpin right in the ocean[00:01:45]
Cause I'm ashy and I can't afford lotion[00:01:48]
So-called friends in the jewelry store[00:01:50]
Told me "Todd come back when you get off tour"[00:01:51]
Souped as hell I really regret it[00:01:55]
Now the only thing I got in my pocket is bad credit[00:01:57]
How can a man like me[00:02:00]
Be walkin around in a world of misery [00:02:02]
And if women like a man with a body it's not mine[00:02:04]
Cause they be walkin past me like I'm a stop sign[00:02:07]
My homeboys laugh when they pass the forty[00:02:09]
Sayin "Todd as if he used to have a sporty"[00:02:11]
The Benz was slammin the Jeep was pumpin[00:02:14]
Ain't that somethin [00:02:16]
I just laugh this isn't what I was raised for[00:02:19]
When I walk away it's like ain't this a[00:02:21]
Kick in the rear that I'm standin here[00:02:23]
And can't afford a tissue for my tear[00:02:25]
Should I drink wine and brandy[00:02:26]
Or get a job puttin stripes on candy[00:02:28]
Or put a hole in donuts [00:02:29]
Cause when you're broke your middle name is "so-what "[00:02:30]
I had to learn in an incredibly fast way[00:02:33]
When you ain't got no money they treat you like an ashtray[00:02:40]
I pawned all my jewelry and clothes[00:02:43]
Right after that I got dissed by all the hoes[00:02:45]
That I thought was mine but really never was[00:02:48]
Soon the whole neighborhood got the buzz[00:02:50]
That my tank was on "E" and that means empty[00:02:52]
That Twinkie looks good so mister don't tempt me[00:02:55]
Everybody thought I was trippin[00:02:57]
I rode the back of the bus but my grip kept on slippin[00:02:59]
I'm the man that they're laughin at[00:03:02]
I wanna hang with my man like "Let's do this"[00:03:17]
But this man like "Who this "[00:03:19]
That's right the brother got two faces[00:03:22]
They got me puttin the tips on shoelaces[00:03:24]
P on the Puma a mop and a bucket[00:03:26]
My motto is I don't care[00:03:29]
I don't give a damn so what why try [00:03:32]
I might as well rob some Blake Carrington sucker for his money[00:03:34]
It's so funny[00:03:37]
Cars ride by with the boomin system[00:03:42]
Sayin "Leave him alone my man already dissed him"[00:03:43]
Now I'm on the cheeseline poverty-stricken[00:03:46]
As the red tape thickens[00:03:47]
I go to the park they wanna baseball-bat me[00:03:49]
I go to the mall they throw my old tapes at me[00:03:51]
I'm so horny[00:03:57]
And every girl I know be like "He's so corny"[00:03:58]
I want money in a hurry[00:04:01]
I'm gettin tired of leftover curry[00:04:03]
I wanna fall off but I don't know where the edge is[00:04:05]
I'm so hungry I eat my neighbor's hedges[00:04:08]
Now I realize I gotta go for mine[00:04:10]
It's windshield time[00:04:13]
I take quarters pennies dimes and nickles[00:04:15]
And a kiddy's tricycle[00:04:18]
I'm a desperado[00:04:20]
"I'ma steal your rims" is my motto[00:04:21]
I watch wrestlin until I'm dizzy sore[00:04:25]
So if you're cashin your rent check know how to get busy[00:04:27]
Go to the drive-through run with a milkshake[00:04:30]
Go to the supermarket pocket a raw steak[00:04:31]
I need beer[00:04:35]
I'ma catch the Miller truck out there[00:04:36]
You know how they throw the newspapers in the morning[00:04:39]
The owner don't want em[00:04:42]
I'm the man that they're laughin at[00:04:45]
They say "Cheesy rat you ain't all that "[00:04:46]
So yo one more time one more time[00:04:53]
Party people in the house tonight[00:04:57]
Just throw your hands in the air[00:04:59]
And wave em like you just don't care[00:05:00]
Keep em there[00:05:02]
Run the jewels run the jewels run the jewels[00:05:03]
