Intro: [sampled announcer]
In any country prison is where society sends itand's failures
but in this country society itself is failing.
Verse one:
Today how you like me now iand'm in the mix?
itand's 1986 and i got the fix with the chicken and a quota
got the baking soda let the water boil workers all loyal
dropped out the twelveth
cuz my wealth is shorter than a midget on his knees
now i slang keys
infest my hood with crack, cuz iand'm the mack
take a nation of millions to hold me back
too big for my britches, and i got bitches
now iand'm hittinand' switches, niggas want my riches
used to get 18 when my g was alive, now a key is 13-5
and'89s the number, another summer
police ainand't get no dumber
streets dried up, used to think it would last
but being a king-pin is a thing of the past
they tried to blast me for selling a boulder
now i got my ass in minnesota
got my own crew, itand's on brand new
Damn, what can i do?
Today...
Verse two:
Already done stack me half a mill ticket
bought a house next to prince, so now i can kick it
now i got ends, wavinand' to my friends, rollinand' in my benz
goinand' to see the twins, play at the dome
police are tappinand' my mobile phone
iand'm almost home
gettinand' excited, indited, spent a grip and a year tryinand' to fight it
lawyer got paid, plea, no contest
and everything i own got repossessed
now take a look at the dust
and iand'm happy cuz i only got 36 months
never picked up a book
but my arms are 16 inches, niggas look
canand't wait for and'92 so i can get with my crew
and see, what can i do?
Today...
verse three:
Phucked up in the pen, now itand's ninety-fo
back in la, and iand'm bailinand' in the dough
everybody, now i gotta start from scratch
so where to work at, and niggas smirk at
me say ainand't nuttinand' poppin from here to the lb
what you tell me?
no it ainand't crack, and everybodyand's jackinand' for a coupe
cuz, they sent in the troops
even tho i got muscle, that ainand't my hustle
takinand' niggas sh*t in a tussle
no skills to pay the bills
takinand' and'bout education to battle inflashion
no college degree, just a dumb ass g
(yeah you nigga, who me?)
i got a baby on the way, damn itand's a mess
have you ever been convicted of a felony? yes
took some advice from my uncle fester
all dressed up in polyester
welcome to mcdonalds may i please help you?
sh*t, what can i do?
Today...
