What Can I Do?

In any country, prison is where society sends it's failures

But in this country, society itself is failing.

Today, how you like me now, I'm in the mix?

It's 1986 and I got the fix with the chicken and a quota

Got the baking soda, let the water boil, workers all loyal

Dropped out the twelveth

Cuz my wealth is shorter than a midget on his knees

Now I slang keys

Infest my hood with crack, cuz I'm the mack

Take a nation of millions to hold me back

Too big for my britches, and I got bitches

Now I'm hittin' switches, niggas want my riches

Used to get 18 when my G was alive, now a key is 13-5

'89s the number, another summer

Police ain't get no dumber

Streets dried up, used to think it would last

But being a king-pin is a thing of the past

They tried to blast me for selling a boulder

Now I got my ass in Minnesota

Got my own crew, it's on brand new

Damn, what can I do?

Today...

Already done stack me half a mill ticket

Bought a house next to Prince, so now I can kick it

Now I got ends, wavin' to my friends, rollin' in my Benz

Goin' to see the Twins, play at the dome

Police are tappin' my mobile phone

I'm almost home

Gettin' excited, indited, spent a grip and a year tryin' to fight it

Lawyer got paid, plea, no contest

And everything I own got repossessed

Now take a look at the dust

And I'm happy cuz I only got 36 months

Never picked up a book

But my arms are 16 inches, niggas look

Can't wait for '92 so I can get with my crew

And see, what can I do?

Today...

Phucked up in the pen, now it's ninety-fo

Back in LA, and I'm bailin' in the dough

Everybody, now I gotta start from scratch

So where to work at, and niggas smirk at

Me say ain't nuttin' poppin from here to the LB

What you tell me?

No it ain't crack, and everybody's jackin' for a coupe

Cuz, they sent in the troops

Even tho I got muscle, that ain't my hustle

Takin' niggas sh*t in a tussle

No skills to pay the bills

Takin' 'bout education to battle inflashion

No college degree, just a dumb ass G

(Yeah you Nigga, who me?)

I got a baby on the way, damn it's a mess

Have you ever been convicted of a felony? Yes

Took some advice from my Uncle Fester

All dressed up in polyester

Welcome to McDonalds may I please help you?

sh*t, what can I do?

Today...
