A plus:
Hmmmmm
I could give a damn about you and your crew
Everybodyand's frontinand'
Aint nobody beinand' true to
The things they say
They say...
Tajai:
Man i understand
A plus: and
Phesto:
I got a plan for improvement. . .
A plus:
But you gets the finger
And i bring a
Attitude with me
Cause brothas that i know be acting shifty
Let me be me
And iand'll let you be you
But why talk about me if itand's not me that youand're talkinand' to
Lets make it clear
You do not know, me
So skip and'how ya livinand', and'how ya feel, bro gand'
To me thatand's phony
Asking if my shitand's dropping
The kids stop when
They start to get they lips popped, and
They say i forgot and'em
But i aint seen and'em in four years,
Tajai:
You always had my number,
A-plus: so step with your poor tears
And what about,
Opio: plus is my man!
A0plus: you need to stop it
Screw the doers
Of rumors
Cause you nerds never profit.
[chorus:]
andquot;tell me who profits? you got beat, cause you like to gossip.andquot;
Phesto:
In school i never used to raise my hand in class
I always knew the teacherand's hand
A passing grade to me
In the back, relax
Cause they wasnand't kickinand' facts
In facts
I never learned nuttinand',
Opio:
I can fool with the school system
They take facts and twist and'em
Into knots, right up the blockand's
A spot
To get a 40
Around the corner get craps,
Phesto:
Perhaps these is traps
To keep us tapped
Saps, can buy gats
With flat-tipped bullet caps
In the locker room with no hassle
And assholes sell cracks in sacks
To class-foes and friends
Cause the mass goes with the trend.
Opio:
My friend
The niggas makinand' ends is livinand' illegal
Thatand's the way to go
Iand'm out to get dough.
Phesto:
Dough?
The education, to get you further
Than murder and drugs with thugs
Youand're better off being a nerd.
Opio:
Thatand's absurd
Life donand't mean nuthinand' without phat pockets
Thatand's the only way to get paid
You tell me who profits.
[chorus:]
andquot;oandp: tell me who profits?
O: iand'll have gand's,
P: but youand'll get shot, kid (dick)!andquot;
Tajai:
Huh!
Ya gotta wonder
Why niggas plunder, kill
Have ya torn a sunder
Cuz iand'ma build
And fill
A glass pipe full of crack
And black menand's pockets be phat
A little
Lets whittle the way to the core now
Ya packinand' a glock
Mackinand' the block
Fight with the cops
Well, who ya takinand' the risk for?
A kingpin swinginand'
With the president
Greasinand' and'em up and givinand' and'em papes
For drugs in the states
Have ya dodginand' niggas and caps
Heand's with george and clarence
Digging golf balls out of sand traps
Heand's never seen frisco or oakland
He got a glimpse of new york
When he went to see the opera (andquot;ahhhhhh!andquot;
He said me sicks getting senile
If we live past 2-4
Weand're due for
A stay in the penile
So see now
We polish our berettas
But thereand's no boats or cane fields nowhere in the ghetto.
Yo...
[chorus:]
andquot;tajai: tell me who profits?
Dc got schemes, and we aint got spit...damn.andquot;
