Seven in the morning, standing in the lineThree fools in front of me, drinking on some wineTwo in the back of me sucking on a jointAnd one in back of them ready for a new sportThere's four, five suckers way way in the backStooped down low with the crowd smoking crackThey looking at me funny 'coz I got a record outAnd a nigga with a record out is supposed to have some proudA forth of the people in the line be hookersBut the other forth betta ask help themselfA forth of the people having good faithAnd all of the rest all fucked up in the headA bald headed stank bitch is about to make me laughAnd a nigga who need a bath is asking for my autographAin't nothing changed but the timeI got to get mine, so I'm standing in the county lineThis ain't funny so don't you dare laugh'Coz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funnyThis ain't funny so don't you dare laughYou got to have the conned and let them looking funnyI walked through the front door to fill out my apHere comes another sap asking if I rapI don't say a word 'coz he know that I doI'm down with the mad ass you know hooI take a numer and a seat I'm sweating from the heatSomebody got their shoes off I smell their feetMy number is 80, it's still on 20I look up at the clock and now is 10:30Free butter and cheese oh please, oh pleaseCan I get my food stamps so I can leaveI got money and a car but they don't really know itNow they asking me a gang of questions'Coz I told them I was homelessI'm living in a car drive back in the alleyBut I use to shack up with a hooker named SallyLine after line Ruff is the timeMy life is in a bomb so I'm standing in the county lineThis ain't funny so don't you dare laugh'Coz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funnyThis ain't funny so don't you dare laughYou got to have the conned and let them looking funnyI'm sitting at a desk talking to a social workerShe thinks I'm a fool but I know that I can work herPunk ass ho' sitting behind the window all toe up ass trampRolling that week sheets of mineYou have a penetentry record I said, I know that bitchShe wants to know what kind a work do I doI said, 'I haven't worked since 1982I can't find a job though I looked and I lookedTook one hit of the crack and mistookShe sitting there wondering what did 'coz I didAnd the whole time I'ma watching like I'm smoking me a jointJob search work the projects whacknessAnd in a few weeks I'd get my checkNow I got to wait for them to call me trough the windowSo I can get some cash to pay for the hotel and the bathshowIt's 5:13 by the clock on the wallMothafuckez move so I can make a phonecallShit is getting late and the time is 29That why so many niggas standing in the county lineThis ain't funny so don't you dare laugh'Coz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funnyThis ain't funny so don't you dare laughYou got to have the conned and let them looking funnyYou got to have the conned and let them looking funnyThis ain't funny so don't you dare laugh'Coz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funnyThis ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
