Cheesy Rat Blues

L.L. Cool J

Intro: sampled from "The Vapors" by BizMarkie



Nothin can save ya

Nothin, can save ya

Nothin can save ya

*scratched* Nothin



Just throw your hands in the air

And wave 'em like you just don't care

Keep 'em there

Yo, run the jewels, run the jewels, run the jewels



*scratched* Can you feel it



Verse One:



I used to be rollin like a millionaire

Cash in a flash, bankroll to spare

Homeboys hangin, champagne and girls

Got my main woman Diamonds, my mistress Pearls

Everybody laughin at my corny jokes

I was stupid; I thought that they were sincere folks

It turned out they liked the money and the fame

If I ain't get paid, I'd be that nobody James

The nobody, who dreamed about bein somebody

Chief rocker at the party

And they was hangin like, "Yo, I'm your man

I don't even care about the ring on your hand"

We'd go out to eat and chill

But they would go to the bathroom when it was time to pay the bill

I didn't notice all the chuckles and laughter

Too busy with a female tellin me I'm the master

I was slick like, "Huh, do I know you?

I got play, here, let me show ya"

Used to have a girl that was on the ball

When the cash flow got low, so did her calls

Used to have a homeboy, always chillin

My cash went low, he told me I was illin

And don't call cause he don't hang with derelicts

Broke with no cash, yo, I was in the mix

Everybody stepped cause my pocket wasn't fat

My girl got a new man, I fixed his flat

I'm the one that they're laughin' at

They say, "Cheesy rat, you ain't all that"



Chorus: *BizMarkie again*



Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

Can you feel it?

Nothin can save ya



Verse Two:



I mean crabbin, played out by backstabbin; I feel like tiein

a anchor to my ankle and jumpin right in the ocean

Cause I'm ashy and I can't
