Drugs, political thugs, nickel and dime crimes
Times ain`t bad it`s just about that time
A nickel`s enough to get sprayed for
Because gems ain`t the only rocks you get paid for
Get laid, sure, check the corner
For a buck you can do anything you want on her
Next week same place no she`s not
She kicked the bucket from what you just got
Man listen, it`s hard enough just to survive
Newborns hot up with dope, to stay alive
Poor lady, she ditched her cause she couldn`t feed her
So where`s her mother? Huh, she ain`t no better either
Say the hell with school that ain`t cool you fool
Learn the science of the other man`s rule
Books you forget, knowledge you forfeit
Stay legit, just don`t do it
Go and pursue it, you gotta fight to
Attain all the things you got a right to
And when you get it good, but damn we
got to boost up the family
Boost up the family, I`m here to reach and teach
Each and all who comprehend my speech
What does a door mean to you and me?
The door`s locked and we don`t have the key
But we do, it`s under the rug you think I`m bugged
My concept`s snug
In the pocket, they tell me rock it
I say sure fellas, long as I sell hell Jaz is the swellest
Remember when they asked a man what`s your program?
He said different plan but same objective man
Socialism, a cripplin disease
Can`t see the forest for the trees, people please
Who wears the clothes our parents paid for
Who sells the gold our people saved for
The writing`s on the wall you know who did this
I see it too but I`m the wrong kinda witness
Homeboys on the rock way up-state
How`re you livin he said? `I`m livin great`
Havin a good time for doin a large crime
