[ODB]

They they had me pickin cigarettes (SLAM!)

A thousand cigarettes up off the floor

Doin push-ups, all that bullshhhh

Yo I'm tryin to (SLAM!)

I just wanna give a shout, to all the jails everywhere

Cause you know, I know it's a game (Just SLAM!)

YaknowhatI'msayin? The government got a game

Get all the brothers locked down

(This one, is a hit, it's called SLAM!)

But it ain't like that baby!

Yo, yo bust thissssssss! Yo white boy don't you got a shadow?

Black boy don't you got teeth, what the fuck is the beef?

Some tame buck nigga in the movie, said a little poetry

Had some problems with the cops, cause his man gun was hot

And of course, fuck that red tape

[gavel pounds three times "Guilty!!"]

[Coolio]

I gotta spit at y'all, they runnin some shit on y'all

Or should I say yes, cause I'm still on the bus

So y'all is really me it's just, y'all is already you

I hereby do declare, all of us is we

Quit your silly-ass games and, petty-ass dirts see and put

[Coolio]

We live in a society created by an empire

that's based on terror, welcome to the One World Era

A complete interruption to your lil' paultry ass life

that you thought you was livin, and what you been given

No more Benzes to roll in, fat-ass stacks of money

Cause ain't no such thing as money

I bet y'all niggaz think it's funny

Put your money where your mouth or where your mouth used to be

Cause ain't shit on this planet, or in this life for free

We gonna do it like Osirus and The Warriors in the dark

Get your niggaz and my niggaz and some mo' niggaz

and have a meeting in the park!

[ODB]

Lost in the sauce, cause you think you got force

Get this across, there is only ONE boss

A NUH got it locked down, while NUH be dumbfound

Fuck your friends, stack your ends

The next time somebody tryin to run game, then pretend
