Now as I flip through this world of mine

Everything is lookin peaceful

I'm checkin out these people

The ones that's doin good and the ones that's doin evil



Now as I flip through this world of mind

Everything is lookin peaceful

I'm checkin out these people

Some doin good and others doin evil



I heard somebody say I'll do anything nowaday to make a buck

Cos niggas are dyin and nobody gives a muthafuck

And you be wantin to trip when I be talkin about murder and thangs

I think it's obvious that you ain't never heard of mine

What goes on in the neighborhood

East coast, West coast, ain't shit turnin out good

Sometimes I wanna cry

And straight put the 9 to my muthafuckin dome and let the bullets fly

But mama said I'm too strong to break down

And I'm caught up in another drug shake-down

Cos they think I'm sellin birds

But i'm workin 9 to 5 and still ain't gettin what I deserve

So who's fuckin who

Is it that white man or the black man standin next to you

See, most blacks can't handle power

Get paid and get to changin by the hour

Closin all the doors

Got a little paper, now they wanna treat they people like hoes

Now after takin a look at that

How the fuck you think the white man is supposed to act

See we can't check the peckerwood

If we can't treat our own fuckin people good

We wanna pick the fruit, but the fruit ain't ripe

Yeah, now who got the right to write



Now as I flip through this world of mine

Everything is lookin peaceful

I'm checkin out these people

The ones that's doin good and the ones that's doin evil



Now as I flip through this world of mind

Everything is lookin peaceful

I'm checkin out these people

Some doin good and others doin evil



Niggas are gettin fooled by the president's plan

In jail they got a president, but they call him the boss man

The boss man is prejudiced, hurtin em with politics

Better let em out quick or they gon' cause a riot, bitch

Even if you lock the door they still got the power

Cos the fuckin white house reminds em of the watch tower

The man is watchin over us, steady controllin us

And if we make a move he's ready to put a hole in us

Everytime I step he's always around me

To tell the fuckin truth, I feel safer in the county

At least in jail I know what I'm up against

But everything is a muthafuckin mystery outside the fence

Thinkin that we made it, but we ain't made it yet

And it's gettin harder cos the man ain't givin up shit, bet

Steady lettin us down

And ain't nobody helpin us out



Now as I flip through this world of mine

Everything is lookin peaceful

I'm checkin out these people

The ones that's doin good and the ones that's doin evil



Now as I flip through this world of mind

Everything is lookin peaceful

I'm checkin out these people

Some doin good and others doin evil



Yeah

A new beginning

Big Mike

Comin from that swamp

You know

Just kickin it how I feel

And that's on the real
