[00:00.20]Hey look at this
[00:01.76]I was cleaning out my nest
[00:03.45]And I found a book of my old poetry
[00:15.27]Fresh out of school 'cause I was a high school grad
[00:17.79]Gots to get a job 'cuz I was a high school dad
[00:20.68]Wish I got paid like I was rappin' to the nation
[00:23.24]But thats not likely so here's my application
[00:25.86]Pass it to the man at AT&T
[00:28.26]'Cuz when I was in school I got the a e e
[00:31.39]But there's no s e for this youngsta
[00:33.44]I didn't have no money so now I have to hunch the
[00:36.41]Back like a slave that's what be happenin
[00:38.55]But whitey says there's no room for the African
[00:41.92]Always knew that I would boycott jeez
[00:44.41]But welcome to McDonalds
[00:45.71]Can I take your order please
[00:47.19]Gotta sell ya food that might give you cancer
[00:49.65]'Cuz my baby doesn't take no for an answer
[00:52.36]Now I pay taxes that you never give me back
[00:55.12]What about diapers bottles and similac
[00:57.73]Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack
[00:59.99]For decent shelter and clothes on my back
[01:02.88]Or should I just wait for help from Bush
[01:05.30]Or Jesse Jackson and operation Push
[01:08.28]If you ask me the whole thing needs a douch
[01:10.92]A masengel what the hell cracker sale
[01:13.24]In the neighborhood
[01:14.66]To the whorehouse b**ches
[01:16.28]Miss porker little joe or Todd Bridges
[01:19.49]Or anybody that he know
[01:21.51]So I got me a bird better known as a kilo
[01:24.97]Now everybody know
[01:26.53]I went from po' to a ni**a that got dough
[01:30.56]So now you put the feds against me
[01:32.60]'Cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency
[01:35.79]I'm never givin' love again
[01:37.93]'Cuz blacks are too f**kin broke to be republican
[01:40.97]Now I remember I used to be cool
[01:43.18]Till I stopped fillin' out my W 2
[01:46.30]Now senators are gettin' hired
[01:48.63]And your plan against the ghetto backfired
[01:51.50]So now you got a pep talk
[01:53.19]But sorry this is our only room to walk
[01:56.69]'Cause we don't want a ** push
[01:58.55]But a bird in the hand is worth more than the bush
[02:06.89]Tell the politicians the hustlers live and let live yeah
[02:12.20]Tell the politicians the hustlers live and let live yeah
