[00:00.30]Say look at this
[00:01.19]I've been cleaning out my nest
[00:03.13]And I found an old book of my poetry!
[00:15.24]Fresh out of school
[00:16.13]Cause I was a high school grad
[00:17.65]Gots to get a job cuz I was a high school dad
[00:20.13]Wish I got paid by rappin' to the nation
[00:23.02]But that's not likely, so here's my application
[00:25.57]Pass it to the man at AT&T
[00:28.21]Cause when I was in school I got the A.E.E
[00:30.63]But there's no SC for this youngsta
[00:33.60]I didn't have no money, so now I got to punch the
[00:36.36]Clock, gotta slave, and be half a man
[00:38.88]But whitey says there's no room for the African
[00:41.65]Always knew that I would clock G's
[00:43.94]But welcome to McDonalds; "may I take your order, please?"
[00:46.74]Gotta serve ya food that might give you cancer
[00:49.38]Cause my son doesn't take no for an answer
[00:52.23]Now I pay taxes, that you never give me back
[00:54.82]What about diapers, bottles, and similac?
[00:57.50]Do I have to sell me a whole lotta crack
[00:59.84]For decent shelter and clothes on my back?
[01:02.42]Or should I just wait for help from Bush?
[01:05.15]Or Jesse Jackson, and Operation PUSH?
[01:07.94]If you ask me the whole thing needs a douche
[01:10.57]A Massengill
[01:11.78]What the hell
[01:12.37]Crack will sell in the neighborhood
[01:14.07]To the corner house bitches
[01:16.20]Miss Parker, little Joe, and Todd Bridges
[01:19.21]Or anybody that he know
[01:21.07]So I copped me a bird, better known as a kilo
[01:24.60]Now everybody know I went from po'
[01:27.58]To a nigga that got dough
[01:29.92]So now you put the feds against me
[01:32.32]Cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency
[01:35.36]I never get love again
[01:37.11]But blacks are too fuckin' broke to be Republican
[01:40.52]Now I remember, I used to be cool
[01:42.81]Till I stopped fillin' out my W-2
[01:45.93]Now senators are gettin' high
[01:47.85]And your plan against the ghetto backfired
[01:50.84]So now you got a pep talk
[01:53.05]But sorry, this is our only room to walk
[01:56.40]Cause we don't want a drug push
[01:58.40]But a bird in the hand, is worth more than a Bush
[02:06.59]Tell the politicians, the hustlers: live and let live (yeah)
[02:11.61]Tell the politicians, the hustlers: live and let live (yeah)
