[Intro]
There's an intruder in my house
He cut my phone line; can't dial out
I scream for police, but I doubt
They're gonna hear me when I shout
[Verse 1]
A couple of co*ktails'll send me to jail
There's a couple of cops hot on my trail
But this time, when I get pulled over
There's a Doberman Pinscher and a pit bull in the seat
These pigs'll get bit foolin' with me, quit foolin' with me
b**h, you're gonna see, no pistol in the seat
Why it always gotta be an issue when you're me?
And which you're gonna see
In the long run, I'ma be the wrong one
You wanna hara** with this limo-tinted gla**
Flashin' that flashlight on my a**; where was you at?
Last night when them a**holes ran up on my gra**?
Rapper slash actor, kiss the crack of my cracker slash a**
They took away my right to bear arms
What I'm 'posed to fight with, bare palms?
Yeah, right! They coming with bombs
I'm coming with flare guns; we as Americans
[Hook]
We as a Americans, us as a citizen
Gotta protect ourselves, look at how sh** has been
We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets
Through worse and through better health
Surviving by any means
We as Americans, us as a citizen
We are samaritans, what do we get us in?
We better check ourselves, look at how sh** has been
Take a look where you live
This is America, and we are Americans
[Verse 2]
I make beaucoup bucks, wearing beaucoup vests
Drama hanging over my head like a voodoo hex
I could've been next to fly over the cuckoo's nest
With you know who, with an S tatooed to my chest
But I've finessed it, now I've got the industry pissy
Ever since me and Dre split it fifty-fifty on 50
It's funny, we got a buzz spreading quicker
Than making paper airplanes out of a twenty
f** money! I don't rap for dead presidents
I'd rather see the president *dead*
It's never been said, but I set precedents
And the standards and they can't stand it
My name should've been ba*tard
The sh** should've been plastered
On my forehead with a stamp, I should've been blasted
I should've been had a cap put in my a**
But I'm too swift and fast for that, I'm past it
I'm too old to go and cruise Gratiot; f** that sh**!
I done seen how fast this rap sh**
Can turn into some pap-pap sh**, that quick, snap click
But this time they got f**ing automatic
Ain't no one gon' test this man; clack-click!
[Hook]
We as a Americans, us as a citizen
Gotta protect ourselves, look at how sh** has been
We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets
Through worse and through better health
Surviving by any means
We as Americans, us as a citizen
We are samaritans, what do we get us in?
We better check ourselves, look at how sh** has been
Take a look where you live
This is America, and we are Americans
[Verse 3]
*sshhhhh* I got a secret if you can keep it between us
I tuck two nina's under my jeans either side of my penis
Under my long johns, under my Sean Johns
When running with the long arm of the law I'm long gone
I'ma do five years – no less than that, no questions asked
So it might be a good idea to stop right here
And quit while I'm ahead, already in the red
Already got a steady infrared meant for my head
A target on my back, bigger problems than that
Bin Laden on my a**, he probably gon' send a task
I ain't gon' even ask, they ain't gon' let me pack
They ain't gon' gimme my semi, but I got my weed back
[Hook]
We as a Americans, us as a citizen
Gotta protect ourselves, look at how sh** has been
We better check ourselves, livin' up in these streets
Through worse and through better health
Surviving by any means
We as Americans, us as a citizen
We are samaritans, what do we get us in?
We better check ourselves, look at how sh** has been
Take a look where you live
This is America, and we are Americans
