The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

If your having girl problems, I feel bad for you, son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Hit me!

He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol

Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed

Rap critics that say he's "money cash hoes"

He's from the hood stupid what type of facts are those

If you grew up with holes in your zapitos

You'd celebrate the minute you was havin' doe

So fuck critics you can kiss our whole assholes

You don't like our lyrics you can press fast forward

Got beef with radio if we don't play they show

They don't play our hits well we don't give a shit, so

All these mags trying to use our ass

So advertisers can give em more cash for ads...fuckers

I don't know what you take us as

Or understand the intellegence that jay-z has

From rags to ritches nigga we ain't dumb

We got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Hit me!

99 Problems, but a bitch ain't one

If your having girl problems, I feel bad for you, son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw

In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law

I got two choices ya'll pull over the car or

Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor

Now I ain't tryin to see no highway chase with jake

Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case

So I...pull over to the side of the road

And I heard "son do you know why I'm stoppin' you for?"

Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low

Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know

Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo?

"Well you was doin fifty five in a fifty four"

"Liscense and regestration and step out of the car"

"Are you carryin' a weapon on you I know alot of you are"

I ain't steppin' out of shit all my papers legit

"Do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?"

Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back

And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that

"Aren't you sharp as a tack you some type of lawyer or something?"

"Or somebody important or somethin'?"

Nah I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit

Enough that you won't illegally search my shit

"We'll see how smart you are when the k-9's come"

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Hit me!

99 Problems, but a bitch ain't one

If your having girl problems, I feel bad for you, son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Hit me!

99 Problems, but a bitch ain't one

If your having girl problems, I feel bad for you, son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Hit me!

99 Problems, but a bitch ain't one

If your having girl problems, I feel bad for you, son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Now once upon a time not too long ago

A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe

This is not a hoe in the sense of havin' a pussy

But a pussy havin no god damn sense, try and push me

I tried to ignore him and talk to the lord

Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform

You know the type loud as a motor bike

But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight

The only thing that's gonna happen is I'm'ma get to clappin

He and his boys gon be yappin to the captain

And there I go traped in the kit kat again

Back through the system with the riff raff again

Fiends on the floor scratchin' again

Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin' them

D.a. Tred to give the nigga the shaft again

Half-a-mil for bail 'cause I'm african

All because ths fool was harrasin' them

Tryin to play the boy like hes saccarin'

But ain't nothin sweet 'bout how I hold my gun

I got 99 problems but this bitch ain't one

99 Problems, but a bitch ain't one

If your having girl problems, I feel bad for you, son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Hit me

99 Problems, but a bitch ain't one

If your having girl problems, I feel bad for you, son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Hit me

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up

I'm about to break

Everything you say to me

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Hit me

I need a little room to breathe

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Hit me

Everything you say to me

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

Hit me

I need a little room to breathe

I got 99 problems

And I'm about to

Break!
