COOLIO - County Line lyrics

rate me

Seven in the morning, standing in the line

three fools in front of me, drinking on some wine

two in the back of me sucking on a joint

and one in back of them ready for a new sport

there's 4-5 suckers way way in the back

stooped down low with the crowd smokin' crack

they looking at me funny coz I got a record out

and a nigga with a record out is supposed to have some proud

a forth of the people in the line be hookers

but the other forth betta ask help themself

a forth of the people having good faith

and all of the rest all fucked up in the head

a bald headed stank bitch is about to make me laugh

and a nigga who need a bath is asking for my autograph

ain't nothing changed but the time

I got to get mine, so I'm standing in the county line

Chorus:

This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh

coz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny

This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh

you got to have the conned, and let'n them looking funny

Verse 2:

I walked through the front door to fill out my ap

Here comes another sap asking if I rap

I don't say a word coz he know that I do

I'm down with the MAAD ass U know Hoo!

I take a numer and a seat

I'm sweating from the heat

Somebody got their shoes off

I smell their feet

My number is 80, it's still on 20

I look up at the clock and now IS 10:30

Free butter and cheese oh please, oh please

Can I get my food stamps so I can leave

I got money and a car but they don't really know it

now they asking me a gang of questions coz I told them I was homeless

I'm living in a car drive back in the alley

but I use to shack up with a hooker named Sally

line after line

ruff is the time

My life is in a bomb so I'm standing in the county line

-=Chorus=-

Verse 3:

I'm sittin' at a desk talking to a social worker

She thinks I'm a fool but I know that I can work her

-Punk ass ho' sittin' behind the window all toe up ass tramp

rollin' that week sheets of mine

"You have a penetentry record"

-I said I know that BIATCH!

She wants to know what kind a work do I do

I said I haven't worked since 1982

I can't find a job though I looked and I looked

took one hit of the crack and mistook

she sittin there wonderin' what did coz I did

and the whole time I'ma watchin like I'm smokin me a joint

job search work the projects whackness

and in a few weeks I'd get my check

now I got to wait for them to call me trough the window

so I can get some cash to pay for the hotel and the bathshow

it's 5:13 by the clock on the wall

mothafuckez move so I can make a phonecall

shit is getting late and the time is 29

that why so many niggas standing in the county line

-=Chorus x 2 fade out=-
