[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
