Lyrics
There's an intruder in my house He cut my phone line: can't dial out (Shit!) I scream for police, but I doubt They're gonna hear me when I shout A couple of cocktails'll send me to jail There's a couple of cops hot on my trail, but this time When I get pulled over there's a Doberman Pinscher And a pit bull in the seat, these pigs'll get bit Foolin' with me, quit foolin' with me Bitch, you're gonna see, no pistol in the seat Why it always gotta be an issue when you're me? And which you're gonna see in the long run, I'ma be the wrong one You wanna harass with this limo-tinted glass Flashin' that flashlight on my ass — where was you at Last night when them assholes ran up on my grass? Rapper slash actor, kiss the crack of my cracker slash ass They took away my right to bear arms What I'm 'posed to fight with, bare palms? Yeah, right! They comin' with bombs I'm comin' with flare guns; we as Americans We as Americans, us as a citizen Gotta protect ourselves, look at how shit has been We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means We as Americans, us as a citizen We are Samaritans, what do we get us in? We better check ourselves, look at how shit has been Take a look where you live, this is America And we are Americans I make beaucoup bucks, wearin' beaucoup vests Drama hangin' over my head, like a voodoo hex I coulda been next to fly over the cuckoo's nest With you-know-who, with an S tattooed to my chest But I've finessed it, now I've got the industry pissy Ever since me and Dre split it fifty-fifty on 50 It's funny, we got a buzz spreadin' quicker than makin' paper Airplanes out of a twenty — Fuck money! I don't rap for dead presidents, I'd rather see The President [dead], it's never been said, but I set precedents And the standards and they can't stand it My name shoulda been "Bastard", the shit shoulda been plastered On my forehead with a stamp, I shoulda been blasted I shoulda been had a cap put in my ass But I'm too swift and fast for that, I'm past it I'm too old to go and cruise Gratiot — fuck that shit! I done seen how fast this rap shit Can turn into some pap-pap shit, that quick, snap click But this time, they got the fuckin' automatic Ain't no one gon' test this man — clack (*click*) We as Americans, us as a citizen Gotta protect ourselves, look at how shit has been We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means We as Americans, us as a citizen We are Samaritans, what do we get us in? We better check ourselves, look at how shit has been Take a look where you live, this is America And we are Americans (Shht!) I got a secret if you can keep it between us I tuck two ninas under my jeans, either side of my penis Under my long johns, under my Sean Johns One run-in with the long arm of the law, I'm long gone I'ma do five years — no less than that, no questions asked So it might be a good idea that I stop right here And quit while I'm ahead, already in the red Already got a steady infrared meant for my head A target on my back, bigger problems than that Bin Laden on my ass, he probably gon' send a task I ain't gon' even ask, they ain't gon' let me pack They ain't gon' give me my semi, but I got my weed back We as Americans, us as a citizen Gotta protect ourselves, look at how shit has been We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets Through worse and through better health, survivin' by any means We as Americans, us as a citizen We are Samaritans, what do we get us in? We better check ourselves, look at how shit has been Take a look where you live, this is America And we are Americans
