A Bird In The Hand Lyrics - Death Certificate - Ice Cube

(Big Bird: Sesame Street) 

Hey look at this! I was cleaning out my nest 

and I found a book of my old poetry 

(Ice Cube) 

Fresh out of school cause I was a high school grad 

gots to get a job cuz I was a high school dad 

Wish I got paid like I was rappin' to the nation 

but thats not likely, so here's my application 

Pass it to the man at AT&T 

Cuz when I was in school I got the a. e. e. 

But there's no s. e. for this youngsta 

I didn't have no money so now I have to hunch the 

Back like a slave, thats what be happenin 

but whitey says there's no room for the African 

Always knew that I would boycott, jeez 

but welcome to McDonalds can I take your order please 

Gotta sell ya food that might give you cancer 

cuz my baby doesn't take no for an answer 

Now I pay taxes that you never give me back 

what about diapers, bottles, and similac 

Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack 

for decent shelter and clothes on my back? 

Or should I just wait for help from Bush 

or Jesse Jackson, and operation Push 

If you ask me the whole thing needs a douch 

a masengel what the hell cracker sale in the neighborhood 

To the whorehouse bitches, 

Miss porker, little joe or Todd Bridges 

Or anybody that he know 

so I got me a bird, better known as a kilo 

Now everybody know I went from po' to a nigga that got dough 

So now you put the feds against me 

cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency 

I'm never givin' love again 

Cuz blacks are too fuckin broke to be republican 

Now I remember I used to be cool 

till I stopped fillin' out my W-2 

Now senators are gettin' hired 

and your plan against the ghetto backfired 

So now you got a pep talk 

but sorry, this is our only room to walk 

Cause we don't want a drug push 

But a bird in the hand is worth more than the bush
