Song title: Ice Cube - A Bird In The Hand

Edit By: 216.73.216.52

(big bird: sesame street)
Hey look at this! I was cleaning out my nest
And I found a book of my old poetry

(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 like I was rappin to the nation
But thats not likely, so heres my application
Pass it to the man at at&t
Cuz when I was in school I got the a. e. e.
But theres no s. e. for this youngsta
I didnt have no money so now I have to hunch the
Back like a slave, thats what be happenin
But whitey says theres no room for the african
Always knew that I would boycott, jeez
But welcome to mcdonalds can I take your order please
Gotta sell ya food that might give you cancer
Cuz my baby doesnt take no for an answer
Now I pay taxes that you never give me back
What about diapers, bottles, and similac
Do I gotta go 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 whorehouse bitches,
Miss porker, little joe or 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 couldnt follow the plan of the presidency
Im 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 hired
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 dont want a drug push
But a bird in the hand is worth more than the bush

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