Say look at this I've been cleaning out my nest And I found an old book of my poetry! Fresh out of school Cause I was a high school grad Gots to get a job cuz I was a high school dad Wish I got paid by rappin' to the nation But that's not likely, so here's my application Pass it to the man at AT&T Cause when I was in school I got the A.E.E But there's no SC for this youngsta I didn't have no money, so now I got to punch the Clock, gotta slave, and be half a man But whitey says there's no room for the African Always knew that I would clock G's But welcome to McDonalds; "may I take your order, please?" Gotta serve ya food that might give you cancer Cause my son doesn't take no for an answer Now I pay taxes, that you never give me back What about diapers, bottles, and similac? Do I have to sell me a whole lotta crack For decent shelter and clothes on my back? Or should I just wait for help from Bush? Or Jesse Jackson, and Operation PUSH? If you ask me the whole thing needs a douche A Massengill What the hell Crack will sell in the neighborhood To the corner house *****es Miss Parker, little Joe, and Todd Bridges Or anybody that he know So I copped me a bird, better known as a kilo Now everybody know I went from po' To a ***** that got dough So now you put the feds against me Cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency I never get love again But blacks are too ****in' broke to be Republican Now I remember, I used to be cool Till I stopped fillin' out my W-2 Now senators are gettin' high And your plan against the ghetto backfired So now you got a pep talk But sorry, this is our only room to walk Cause we don't want a drug push But a bird in the hand, is worth more than a Bush Tell the politicians, the hustlers: live and let live (yeah) Tell the politicians, the hustlers: live and let live (yeah)
