Can - O - Corn (LP版) - Coolio[00:00:00]
Back in the days when I was a young buck[00:00:24]
Stuck like a truck gettin sh*t outta luck[00:00:26]
Times was rough and I didnt have a plan[00:00:30]
I was barely on the edge of my life as a man[00:00:33]
Its really f**ked up when theres d**e in the crib[00:00:36]
No food in the kitchen for the motherf**kin kids[00:00:39]
Thats why a young ni**a learned how to steal see[00:00:42]
Shopliftin laid me a whole lotta meals[00:00:45]
But I remember days when the cupboard was bare and[00:00:48]
Life was unfair but who the f**k cares[00:00:52]
I still hear momma what she used to tell me[00:00:54]
That you don't get sh*t in this life for free[00:00:57]
And even if I never ever make it to the mountain top[00:01:00]
F**k it I fight for my hip-hop[00:01:04]
Not everybody can relate to what I been through[00:01:06]
Even though some front and they try to pretend to[00:01:09]
Know about the life of a kid and the strife[00:01:13]
Where he has to live in the shadow of a base-pipe[00:01:15]
Good goes to bad bad goes to worse[00:01:18]
And pretty soon hes stealin from his own mommas purse[00:01:21]
So clean out ya ears and open up your eyes[00:01:25]
I reach out to touch but somebody moved the sky[00:01:27]
My stomach is growlin word is born[00:01:30]
Cos all I had for dinner was a can-o-corn[00:01:33]
A can-o-corn a can-o-corn[00:01:37]
All I had for dinner was a can-o-corn[00:01:40]
A can-o-corn a can-o-corn[00:01:43]
Before I went to school I had a can-o-corn[00:01:46]
A can-o-corn a can-o-corn[00:01:49]
I tried to get full off a can-o-corn[00:01:52]
A can-o-corn a can-o-corn[00:01:55]
Thats all the f**k that we had in the kitchen[00:01:57]
A few years later i pledge a legions to the set[00:02:01]
I'm growin up but I ain't grown yet[00:02:04]
Its funny how the strain in a life filled with pain[00:02:07]
Can sometimes leave a b**ch stained on the brain[00:02:10]
I'm sittin in the restaurant guardin my food like a eagle[00:02:13]
Pickin up scraps like a seagull[00:02:17]
Waitin on the people at the next table to leave a tip[00:02:19]
So I can put it in my pocket[00:02:23]
Phoney easter bunny santa claus and the stork[00:02:25]
We was poor as f**k so we ate a lot of pork[00:02:28]
And it ain't no motherf**kin way no how[00:02:31]
When it come up I let you bring me down[00:02:34]
So I stick to the boots and I'm down with a maad group[00:02:37]
Of gangstas and hoodlums but you can call em scroops[00:02:40]
Give me liberty or give me death[00:02:43]
Cos a man without pride ain't got sh*t left huh[00:02:46]
And now that I'm older with kids of my own[00:02:49]
I put me in the pot where it used to be a bone[00:02:52]
Getcha self together word is born[00:02:55]
Cos a man can't live on a can-o-corn[00:02:58]
