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
