Lyrics

All right, Coolio, I'm tellin' you, I might have to go get a job
Get a job
Yeah
Fool, you gotta go down to the country line and get you some J-O
Seven in the morning, standing in the line
Three fools in front of me, drinking on some wine
Two in the back of me, sucking on a joint
And one in back of them, begging for a Newport
There's four, five suckers way, way in the back
Stooped down low in the crowd smokin' crack
They looking at me funny cause I got a record out
And a **** with a record out is supposed to have some clout
A fourth of the people in the line need help
But the other fourth of that haven't helped theyself
A fourth of the people haven't been fed
And all of the rest are fucked up in the head
A bald headed stank bitch is about to make me laugh
And a **** who need a bath is asking for my autograph
Ain't nothing changed but the time
I got to get mine, so I'm standing in the county line
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
You got to have a car in this land of milk and honey
I walked through the front door, fill out my app
Here comes another sap asking if I rap
I don't say a word cause he know that I do
I'm down with the mad ass who-know-who
I take a number and a seat, I'm sweating from the heat
Somebody got their shoes off, I smell they feet
My number is eighty, it's still on twenty
I look up at the clock and now is 10:30
Free butter and cheese oh please, oh please
Can I get my food stamps so I can leave?
I got money and a car but they don't really know it
Now they ask a gang of questions cause I told them I was homeless
I'm living in a car drive back in the alley
But I use to shack up with a hooker named Sally
Line after line, rough is the time
My life is in a bind so I'm standing in the county line
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
You got to have a car in this land of milk and honey
I'm sittin' at a desk talking to a social worker
She thinks I'm a fool but I know that I can jerk her
Punk-ass ho sittin' behind the window all toe up ass tramp
Runnin' that old weak shit talking 'bout
"You have a penetentry record"
I said, "I know that, biatch"
She wants to know what kind a work do I do
I said I haven't worked since 1982
I can't find a job though I looked and I've looked
Took one hit of the crack and was hooked
She sittin' there wondering when I'll get the point
And the whole time I'm wishing I can smoke me a joint
Job search worker project fat-necks
And in a few weeks I'd get my check
Now I got to wait for them to call me through the window
So I can get a voucher for the hotel and the bathshow
It's 5:13 by the clock on the wall
Bum for some change so I can make a phonecall
Shit's getting nutty and times is twentynine
That why so many **** just standing in the county line
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
You got to have a car in this land of milk and honey
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
You got to have a car in this land of milk and honey
This-this ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
