[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 *******tails'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 *******, 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 harass with this limo-tinted glass Fla*******n' that flashlight on my ass — where was you at Last night when them assholes ran up on my grass? Rapper slash actor, kiss the crack of my cracker slash ass They took away my right to bear arms What I'm 'posed to fight with, bare palms? Yeah, right! They comin' with bombs I'm comin' with flare guns; we as Americans [Hook] We as Americans, us as a citizen Gotta protect ourselves, look at how *******t has been We better check ourselves Livin' up in these streets Through worse and through better health Survivin' 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 *******t has been Take a look where you live This is America, and we are Americans [Verse 2] I make beaucoup bucks, wearin' beaucoup vests Drama hangin' over my head like a voodoo hex I coulda 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 spreadin' quicker Than makin' paper airplanes out of a twenty ******* 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 shoulda been bastard The *******t shoulda been plastered On my forehead with a stamp, I shoulda been blasted I shoulda been had a cap put in my ass But I'm too swift and fast for that, I'm past it I'm too old to go and cruise Gratiot — ******* that *******t! I done seen how fast this rap *******t Can turn into some pap-pap *******t, that quick, snap click But this time, they got the ******* automatic Ain't no one gon' test this man — clack-click!
