Person: “Hey Coolio, Im telling you homie, I cant be broke this summer, Ima have to go get a job.”
~#**************#~
Coolio: “Get a job?”

~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Coolio]
~#**************#~
Seven in the morning, standing in the line
~#**************#~
Three fools in the front of me, drinking on some wine
~#**************#~
Two in the back of me, sucking on a joint
~#**************#~
And one in back of them, begging for a Newport
~#**************#~
Theres four or five suckers way, way in the back
~#**************#~
Stooped down low in the crowd smokin crack
~#**************#~
They looking at me funny cause I got a record out
~#**************#~
And a nigga with a record out supposed to have some clout
~#**************#~
A fourth of the people in the line need help
~#**************#~
But the other fourth of that havent helped theyself
~#**************#~
A fourth of the people havent been fed
~#**************#~
And all of the rest are fucked up in the head
~#**************#~
A bald-headed stank bitch is about to make me laugh
~#**************#~
And a nigga who need a bath is asking for my autograph
~#**************#~
Aint nothing changed but the time
~#**************#~
I got to get mine, so Im standing in the county line
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Slick Rick & Duke Bootee]
~#**************#~
This aint funny so dont you dare laugh
~#**************#~
‘Cause its all about money, aint a damn thing funny
~#**************#~
This aint funny so dont you dare laugh
~#**************#~
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Coolio]
~#**************#~
I walked through the front door, fill out my app
~#**************#~
Here comes another sap, asking if I rap
~#**************#~
I dont say a word cause he know that I do
~#**************#~
Im down with the mad ass, you know who
~#**************#~
I take a number and a seat, Ima sweating from the heat
~#**************#~
Somebody got their shoes off, I smell they feet
~#**************#~
My number is 80, its still on 20
~#**************#~
I look up at the clock and now its 10:30
~#**************#~
Free butter and cheese, oh please, oh please
~#**************#~
Can I get my food stamps so I can leave?
~#**************#~
I got money and a car but they dont know it
~#**************#~
Now they ask a gang of questions cause I told them I was homeless
~#**************#~
Im living in a car out back in the alley
~#**************#~
But I use to shack up with a hooker named Sally
~#**************#~
Line after line, rough is the time
~#**************#~
My life is in a bind so Im standing in the county line
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Slick Rick & Duke Bootee]
~#**************#~
This aint funny so dont you dare laugh
~#**************#~
‘Cause its all about money, aint a damn thing funny
~#**************#~
This aint funny so dont you dare laugh
~#**************#~
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Coolio]
~#**************#~
Im sittin at a desk talkin to a social worker
~#**************#~
She thinks Im a fool but I know that I can jerk her
~#**************#~
– Punk ass hoe sittin behind the window all toe up ass tramp
~#**************#~
Runnin that ol weak shit talkin bout
~#**************#~
“You have a penitentiary record”
~#**************#~
– I said I know that BIATCH!
~#**************#~
She wants to know what kind of work do I do
~#**************#~
I said I havent worked since 1982
~#**************#~
I cant find a job though I looked and Ive looked
~#**************#~
Took one hit of the crack and was hooked
~#**************#~
She sittin there wondering when Ill get to the point
~#**************#~
And the whole time Im wishing I can smoke me a joint
~#**************#~
Job search worker project [?]
~#**************#~
And in a few weeks Ill get my check
~#**************#~
Now I got to wait for them to call me to the window
~#**************#~
So I can get a voucher for the hotel and the bath show
~#**************#~
Its 5:13 by the clock on the wall
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
Shits getting harder than times in 29
~#**************#~
Thats why so many niggas is standing in the county line
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Slick Rick & Duke Bootee]
