WHAT CAN I DO?(Remix)

In any country prison is where society sends its failures But in this country society itself is failing So there, how you like me now? I'm in the mix It's 1996 and I got the fix with the chicken And a quarter Got the bakin' soda, let the water boil Workers all loyal Dropped out the twelfth 'Cause mine is shorter than a midget On his knees Now I sling peas Infest my 'hood with crack 'cause I'm the mac Take a nation of mules to hold me back Too big for my britches and I got bitches Now I'm hittin' switches Niggers want my riches Used to get 18 when my G was alive Now a key is thirteen five '89's the number, another summer Police ain't gettin no dumber Streets dried up, used to think it would last But bein' a kingpin is a thing of the past They tried to blast me by sellin' a boulder Now I got my ass in Minnesota Got my own crew, it's all brand new Man, what can I do uh today? what can I do today? what can I do how you like me now? today? what can I do today? what can I do how you like me now? Already done stacked me half a meal ticket Bought a house next to Prince So now I could kick it Now I got in, wavin', to my friends Rollin' in my Benz, goin' to see the Twins At the Dome police are tappin' my mobile phone I'm almost home, gettin' excited, indited Spent a year tryin' to fight it Lawyer got paid, plea-no contest And everything I owned got repossessed Now take a look at the dunce And I'm happy 'cause I only got 36 months Never picked up a book But my arms are sixteen inches Nigger, look Can't wait for '92 so I can get with my crew And see what can I do? today? what can I do today? what can I do how you like me now? today? what can I do today? what can I do how you like me now? Fucked up in the pen, now it's '94 Back in LA and in a building in the door Where everybody know I gotta start from scratch So where the work at? And niggers smirk at me Sayin' ain't nothln' poppin' From here to Da L.B What you tell me? Know it ain't crack And everybody's jackin' for a crew 'Cause they sent in the troops Even though I got muscle that ain't my hustle Takin' nigger's shit in a tussle No skills to pay the bills Takin' about education to battle inflation No college degree, just a dumb ass Gee Who me?
