[00:03.96] [Intro]
[00:05.62] There's an intruder in my house
[00:12.95] He cut my phone line: can't dial out
[00:16.63] I scream for police, but I doubt
[00:21.53] They're gonna hear me when I shout
[00:41.84] [Verse 1]
[00:51.20] A couple of *******tails'll send me to jail
[00:53.98] There's a couple of cops hot on my trail
[00:56.26] But this time, when I get pulled over
[00:58.11] There's a Doberman Pinscher and a Pit Bull in the seat
[01:01.09] These pigs'll get bit foolin' with me, quit foolin' with me
[01:04.59] *******, you're gonna see, no pistol in the seat
[01:07.45] Why it always gotta be an issue when you're me?
[01:10.28] And which you're gonna see
[01:12.06] In the long run, I'ma be the wrong one
[01:13.76] You wanna harass with this limo-tinted glass
[01:16.47] Fla*******n' that flashlight on my ass — where was you at
[01:19.49] Last night when them assholes ran up on my grass?
[01:22.14] Rapper slash actor, kiss the crack of my cracker slash ass
[01:25.86] They took away my right to bear arms
[01:28.78] What I'm 'posed to fight with, bare palms?
[01:31.01] Yeah, right! They comin' with bombs
[01:32.95] I'm comin' with flare guns; we as Americans
[01:35.09] [Hook]
[01:36.72] We as Americans, us as a citizen
[01:38.62] Gotta protect ourselves, look at how *******t has been
[01:41.17] We better check ourselves
[01:42.92] Livin' up in these streets
[01:44.29] Through worse and through better health
[01:45.68] Survivin' by any means
[01:47.20] We as Americans, us as a citizen
[01:49.48] We are samaritans, what do we get us in?
[01:52.71] We better check ourselves
[01:53.98] Look at how *******t has been
[01:55.41] Take a look where you live
[01:56.89] This is America, and we are Americans
[01:59.35] [Verse 2]
[01:59.59] I make beaucoup bucks, wearin' beaucoup vests
[02:01.54] Drama hangin' over my head like a voodoo hex
[02:04.12] I coulda been next to fly over the cuckoo's nest
[02:07.20] With you-know-who, with an S tatooed to my chest
[02:09.78] But I've finessed it, now I've got the industry pissy
[02:12.77] Ever since me and Dre split it fifty-fifty on 50
[02:15.23] It's funny, we got a buzz spreadin' quicker
[02:17.95] Than makin' paper airplanes out of a twenty
[02:19.55] ******* money! I don't rap for dead presidents
[02:23.31] I'd rather see the President {dead}
[02:24.73] It's never been said, but I set precedents
[02:27.00] And the standards and they can't stand it
[02:29.49] My name shoulda been bastard
[02:31.29] The *******t shoulda been plastered
[02:32.92] On my forehead with a stamp, I shoulda been blasted
[02:35.28] I shoulda been had a cap put in my ass
[02:37.97] But I'm too swift and fast for that, I'm past it
[02:40.58] I'm too old to go and cruise Gratiot — ******* that *******t!
[02:43.66] I done seen how fast this rap *******t
[02:47.99] Can turn into some pap-pap *******t, that quick, snap click
[02:48.87] But this time, they got the ******* automatic
[02:52.09] Ain't no one gon' test this man — clack-click!
[02:54.09] [Hook]
[02:54.83] We as Americans, us as a citizen
[02:57.48] Gotta protect ourselves, look at how *******t has been
[03:00.52] We better check ourselves
[03:01.91] Livin' up in these streets
[03:03.16] Through worse and through better health
[03:04.63] Survivin' by any means
[03:05.89] We as Americans, us as a citizen
[03:08.49] We are samaritans, what do we get us in?
[03:11.08] We better check ourselves
[03:12.94] Look at how *******t has been
[03:14.11] Take a look where you live
[03:15.79] This is America, and we are Americans
[03:16.55] [Verse 3]
[03:17.20] *sshhhhh* I got a secret, if you can keep it between us
[03:19.73] I tuck two nina's under my jeans either side of my *******
[03:22.93] Under my long johns, under my Sean Johns
[03:24.97] One run-in with the long arm of the law I'm long gone
[03:27.94] I'ma do five years — no less than that, no questions asked
[03:31.76] So it might be a good idea that I stop right here
[03:34.56] And quit while I'm ahead, already in the red
[03:37.53] Already got a steady infrared meant for my head
[03:40.21] A target on my back, bigger problems than that
[03:42.94] Bin Laden on my ass, he probably gon' send a task
[03:45.71] I ain't gon' even ask, they ain't gon' let me pack
[03:49.06] They ain't gon' give me my semi, but I got my ******* back
[03:50.81] [Hook]
[03:51.30] We as Americans, us as a citizen
[03:53.59] Gotta protect ourselves, look at how *******t has been
[03:56.30] We better check ourselves
[03:57.65] Livin' up in these streets
[03:59.26] Through worse and through better health
[04:00.76] Survivin' by any means
[04:02.18] We as Americans, us as a citizen
[04:04.89] We are samaritans, what do we get us in?
[04:07.67] We better check ourselves
[04:09.41] Look at how *******t has been
[04:10.65] Take a look where you live
[04:11.92] This is America, and we are Americans
