[Big Bird]
Say, look at this,
I've been cleaning out my nest,
and I found an old book of my poems,


[Ice Cube]
Fresh out of school cause I was a high school grad
gots to get a job cuz I was a high school dad
Wish I got paid by rappin' to the nation
but thats not likely, so here's my application
Pass it to the man at AT&T
Cuz when I was in school I got the A. E. E.
But there's no S. C. for this youngsta,
I didn't have no money, so now I have to punch the clock at a
slave, and be half a man,
but whitey says there's no room for the African,
Always knew that I would clock G's,
but welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order please
Gotta serve ya food that might give you cancer,
cuz my son doesn't take no for an answer,
Now I pay taxes, that you never give me back ,
what about diapers, bottles, and similac .
Do I have to sell me a whole lotta crack
for decent shelter and clothes on my back?
Or should I just wait for help from Bush
or Jesse Jackson, and operation Push
If you ask me the whole thing needs a douch,
a masengel, what the hell cracker sale in the neighborhood
To the cornerhouse bitches,
Miss porker, little joe and Todd Bridges
Or anybody that he know
so I got me a bird, better known as a kilo,
Now everybody know I went from po' to a nigga that got dough
So now you put the feds against me
cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency
I'm never givin' love again,
Cuz blacks are too fuckin broke to be republican
Now I remember I used to be cool
till I stopped fillin' out my W-2
Now senators are gettin' high
and your plan against the ghetto backfired
So now you got a pep talk
but sorry, this is our only room to walk
Cause we don't want a drug push
But a bird in the hand is worth more than a bush

tell the politicians, the hustlers: live and let live (yeah)
tell the politicians, the hustlers: live and let live (yeah)
