Kool G Rap And Dj Polo


I'm on the verge of commitin murder 
My girl is gettin on my last nerve and I don't wanna hurt her 
She wants me to get a job 
I get harassed cause I'm laying on my ass like a big slob 
But everywhere I go I get rejected 
They won't hire a motherfucker with a jail record 
So the least I could do is look presentable 
But I'm labelled by the city as a criminal 
They won't give me no slack Jack 
And I got one strike against me already because my skin is black 
See I'm irrelevant to Help Wanted signs 
And they wonder why niggaz commit crimes 
My girl pays the rent gas and light 
Goes to class at days and works at night 
I'm trying to get some money I can hand to her 
But I ain't with bein a motherfuckin janitor 
Plus I got my little nigga 
And I'm tryin my best to be the right kind of father figure 
But my hands is startin to shake 
I'm tryin to hold my head because I'm reachin for the thirty-eight 
I pick it up, man fuckit 
I gotta go out and hit the street and get some ducats 
Lookin for somethin to hit 
I throw on my hood, cause I'm about to do some stupid shit 
I step in the Seven-Eleven 
Come fast with the cash or get your ass sent to heaven 
He must hit the alarm, cause I'm perspirin 
cause now I'm hearin motherfuckin sirens 
I tried to run out, three thousand decent 
Next thing I know, I'm sittin in a fuckin precinct 
for tryin to feed a family 
I need rubber balls, cause I'm fallin off the edge of sanity

What a fucked up night 
And I'm mad because the cop put on the handcuffs too fuckin tight 
Central Bookin is where they sent me 
So they could take a couple of pictures after they fingerprint me 
Then they put me in a cell 
And it was all full of niggaz that was dirty and stinkin as hell 
Four hours passed already, so now I'm yawnin 
And I'm hopin to see the judge in the mornin 
Finally they call my name and I get up with speed 
to appear before the judge, and make a plead 
I saw the judge, he was a brother 
He said, "How do you plead?" I said, "Not guilty, motherfucker!" 
Then I got kicked out of court, sent to the Island 
where they got all of these young brothers wildin 
And all I seen was teenagers 
And brothers just slicin one another with straight razors 
I saw this nigga, he was stone tall 
I said, "Yo, I gotta make this motherfuckin phone call" 
He said, "These whores are mine, and you ain't widdit" 
and put his face all up in mine, so I hit it 
C.O.'s came, niggaz started to zing 
Now I gotta do about three days in the bank 
I did my time and now I'm back from my vacation 
Right on track, they put me back in populations 
I got dressed, and hit the mess hall 
Then when I came back, FINALLY I got to make my phone call 
My girl is bringin out the man in me 
Cause she's yellin and shit, while I'm hangin on the edge of sanity

I'm sittin Up North, and doin three to nine 
And it feels like my whole life is bein left behind 
I'm goin crazy in this place 
And I'm countin the days, cause I'm about to be a mental case 
My little son is gettin bigger 
And he picked up the phone one day and thought I was some other nigga 
Yeah that bitch is tryin to play me like a sucker 
Cause on the down and low I heard another nigga fucked her 
Now homicide is on my mind 
for knowin that this bitch is at home, screwin while I'm doin time 
And the nigga that's hittin the skins 
is a bold motherfucker cause he's one of my own friends 
But that's alright cause I got somethin for they asses 
And when I see him I'ma smash his fuckin glasses 
Livin in hell but now my blood is gettin cold 
Two months later, I got released on parole 
So now I'm rollin colder than a blizzard 
I got some iron from my man and went to pay the stupid bitch a visit 
I'm ringin the bell like hell 
Oh nobody's home huh? So I kicked it til the shit fell 
Stepped in the house with my finger on the trigger 
Butter ass nigga stuttered, "Wha-wha-what's up nigga?" 
My bitch was scared, cause she knew that I was steamin 
She ran her ass to the back and started screamin 
*one shot fired* to the body *two shots fired* to the head 
*one shot fired* put the barrel in his mouth, makin sure he's dead 
And the police ain't cannin me 
inside a cell, cause I just fell off the edge of sanity
