Ice Cube Bird In The Hand Lyrics

Bird In The Hand Lyrics

FRESH OUTTA SCHOOL CAUES I WAS A HIGH SCHOOL GRAD

GOTTA GET A JOB CAUSE I
WAS A HIGH SCHOOL DAD

WISH I GOT PAID FOR RAPPING TO THE NATION

BUT
THATS NOT LIKELY SO HERES MY APPLICATION

HAND IT TO THE MAN AT AT&T

CAUSE WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL I GOT THE AEE

BUT THERE IS NO SE FOR THIS
YOUNGSTER

I DIDN'T HAVE NO MONEY SO NOW I GOT TO PUNCH THE

CLOCK
AND SLAVE AND BE HAPPY

CAUSE THE WHITTY SAYA THERE NO ROOM FOR THE
AFRICAN

ALWAYS KNEW THAT I WOULDN'T CLOCK G'S

BUT WELCOME TO
MCDONALDS CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER PLEASE

GOTTA SERVE YOU FOOD TAHT MIGHT
GIVE YOU CANCER

CAUSE MY SON DOESN'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER

NOW I
PAY TAXES BUT THEY NEVER GIVE ME BACK

WHAT ABOUT DIAPER BOTTLES AND
SIMILAC ]

DO I HAVE TO SELL ME A WHOLE LOTTA OF CRACK

PRODUCE IN
SHELTER AND CLOTHES ON MY BACK

OR SHOULD I JUST WAIT FOR HELP FROM
BUSH

OR JESSIE JACKSON AND OPERATION P.U.S.H

IF YOU ASK ME THE
WHOLE THING NEEDS A DOUCHE

OR MASSINGALE

WHAT THE HELL

CRACK
I'LL SELL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

TO THE CORNER HOUSE BITCHES

MISS
PARKER,LIL JOE, AND TODD BRIDGES

OR ANYBODY THAT HE KNOWS

SO COP ME
A BIRD BETTER KNOWN AS A KILO

NOW EVERYBODY KNOW

I WENT FROM PO

TO A NIGGA THAT GOT DOUGH

SO NOW YOU WANT TO PUT THE FED AGAINST ME

CAUSE I COULDN'T FOLLOW THE PLAN OF THE PRESIDENCY

I'LL NEVER GET LOVE
AGAIN

BUT BLACKS ARE TOO FUCKING BROKE TO REPUBLICANS

NOW I
REMEMBER I USE TO BE COOL

TILL I STOP FILLING OUT MY W2

NOW SENATOR
ARE GETTING HIGH

AND YOU BLACKS IN GHETTOS AT NIGHT CRY

SO NOW YOU
WANT TO GIVE A PEP TALK

BUT SORRY THIS IS OUR ONLY ROOM TO WALK

CAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DRUG PUSH

BUT A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH MORE
THAN A BOOK
