I'm on the verge of commitin murder
My girl is gettin on my last nerve and I don't wanna hurt her
She wants me to get a job
I get harassed cause I'm laying on my ass like a big slob
But everywhere I go I get rejected
They won't hire a motherfucker with a jail record
So the least I could do is look presentable
But I'm labelled by the city as a criminal
They won't give me no slack Jack
And I got one strike against me already because my skin is black
See I'm irrelevant to Help Wanted signs
And they wonder why niggaz commit crimes
My girl pays the rent gas and light
Goes to class at days and works at night
I'm trying to get some money I can hand to her
But I ain't with bein a motherfuckin janitor
Plus I got my little nigga
And I'm tryin my best to be the right kind of father figure
But my hands is startin to shake
I'm tryin to hold my head because I'm reachin for the thirty-eight
I pick it up, man fuckit
I gotta go out and hit the street and get some ducats
Lookin for somethin to hit
I throw on my hood, cause I'm about to do some stupid shit
I step in the Seven-Eleven
Come fast with the cash or get your ass sent to heaven
He must hit the alarm, cause I'm perspirin
cause now I'm hearin motherfuckin sirens
I tried to run out, three thousand decent
Next thing I know, I'm sittin in a fuckin precinct
for tryin to feed a family
I need rubber balls, cause I'm fallin off the edge of sanity
Edge of Sanity (2X)
What a fucked up night
And I'm mad because the cop put on the handcuffs too fuckin tight
Central Bookin is where they sent me
So they could take a couple of pictures after they fingerprint me
