[Verse One: Coolio]
Seven in the morning, standing in the line
Three fools in front of me, drinking on some wine
Two in the back of me s**ing on a joint
And one in back of them begging for a newport
There's 4-5 s**ers way way in the back
Stooped down low with the crowd smokin' crack
They looking at me funny coz I got a record out
And a n***a with a record out is supposed to have some clout
A fourth of the people in the line need some help
But the other fourth betta had help themself
A fourth of the people having good faith
And all of the rest all f**ed up in the head
A bald headed stank b**h is about to make me laugh
And a n***a who need a bath is asking for my autograph
Ain't nothing changed but the time
I got to get mine, so I'm standing in the county line
[Hook: Coolio]
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
Coz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
You got to have a car in this land of milk and honey
[Verse Two: Coolio]
I walked through the front door to fill out my ap
Here comes another sap asking if I rap
I don't say a word coz he know that I do
I'm down with the MAAD a** U know Hoo!
I take a numer and a seat
I'm sweating from the heat
Somebody got their shoes off
I smell their feet
My number is 80, it's still on 20
I look up at the clock and now IS 10:30
Free bu*ter and cheese oh please, oh please
Can I get my food stamps so I can leave
I got money and a car but they don't really know it
Now they asking me a gang of questions coz I told them I was homeless
I'm living in a car drive back in the alley
But I use to shack up with a hooker named Sally
Line after line
Ruff is the time
My life is in a bomb so I'm standing in the county line
Chorus
[Verse Three: Coolio]
I'm sittin' at a desk talking to a social worker
She thinks I'm a fool but I know that I can work her
-Punk a** ho' sittin' behind the window all toe up a** tramp
Runnin that weak sh** talkin bout
"You have a penetentry record"
-I said I know that b*atch!
She wants to know what kind a work do I do
I said I haven't worked since 1982
I can't find a job though I looked and I looked
Took one hit of the crack and mistook
She sittin there wonderin' what did coz I did
And the whole time I'mma watchin like I'm smokin me a joint
Job search work the projects whackness
And in a few weeks I'd get my check
Now I got to wait for them to call me trough the window
So I can get some cash to pay for the hotel and the bathshow
It's 5:13 by the clock on the wall
Mothaf**ez move so I can make a phonecall
sh** is getting late and the time is 29
That why so many n***as standing in the county line
Chorus 2X to fade
