Got sick and tired[00:00:28]

Of seein' brothers being treated ill[00:00:29]

At twenty one the brother Smooth [00:00:49]

He got a record deal[00:00:51]

Been working hard [00:00:52]

Been writin' songs about the things he feels[00:00:53]

He says it's real 'cause[00:00:55]

I got skills but I got bills[00:00:56]

My deck is stacked if[00:00:58]

I could only get my sh*t on wax[00:00:59]

When it was ripe he took[00:01:01]

His tape up to the rec execs[00:01:03]

They smoked cigars and[00:01:05]

Rolled their eye's at him behind their specs[00:01:05]

Your sh*t is phat but[00:01:07]

I don't hear it in the format Jack[00:01:09]

What's all this black crap [00:01:10]

Check page twenty one of your contract[00:01:12]

He's strong[00:01:14]

Mama mama mama[00:01:14]

Mama I couldn't say no[00:01:15]

So strong[00:01:16]

A friend of mine Roberta [00:01:38]

She got a job at the post office[00:01:40]

She was college edjamacated[00:01:41]

But got fired up at the law office[00:01:42]

I'm all alone two kids at home [00:01:44]

I need a job just any job[00:01:47]

So I can get back on my feet like Tina Turner[00:01:48]

The boss came up to her said [00:01:50]

"Why don't you come home with me "[00:01:52]

I'd like to see you[00:01:53]

Take off your clothes for me[00:01:55]

She said "No way man"[00:01:57]

He said "You don't understand"[00:01:58]

"You lose your life [00:01:59]

You lose your job if you don't do this shift"[00:02:01]

He's strong[00:02:03]

Mama mama mama[00:02:03]

Mama I couldn't say no[00:02:04]

So strong[00:02:05]

Officer officer officer [00:02:55]

Officer officer overseer[00:02:56]

He tried to tell me it was the only job available[00:02:58]

Either rob or join the mob 'cause I'm not salable[00:03:01]

One night he went out on an undercover stinging[00:03:04]

Bought some smack[00:03:07]

Tried to break the h****n ring ring[00:03:09]

Two cops white cops[00:03:10]

Seein' people bein' treated ill[00:03:21]

Picked up my nines [00:03:23]

Walked up from behind[00:03:24]

Tapped two of them on the neck[00:03:26]

So I could meet their eyes direct[00:03:28]

Pom pom[00:03:29]
