Cocaine business controls America

Illegal Business controls America

One afternoon around eleven o'clock

It was freezing cold

He was standing on the block

Sellin' cheeba

Mixin' dimes

Sayin' a rhyme

Just to pass the time

The cops passed by

But he stayed calm

'Cause the leather trench coat

Was keepin' him warm

But this time they walked by real slowly

He thought to himself

They look like they know me

They drove away

But he didn't stay

He jumped in the cab

And he paid his tab

But guess who he saw

When he hit the block

It was the same cop car

The same two cops

They jumped out quick

They pulled a gun

They said, "Don't try to fight

And don't try to run

Cooperate and we will be your friend

Non-cooperation will be your end"

He jumped in the car

And wile they rode

They ran down the list of things he owed

They said you owe us some money

You owe us some product

'Cause you could be right

In the river tied up

He thought for a second and he said

"What is this?

You want me to pay you

To stay in business?"

They said, "That's right, or you go to prison

'Cause nobody out there is really gonna listen

To a hood," so he said, "Good

I'll pay you off for the whole neighborhood"

Because
