Everything Is Fair

Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Look at Miss Elaine who runs the fast lane
 Barely knows her name, struck by fame
 She just got a Benz, she rides with her friends
 Gotta keep her beeper in her purse to make ends
 Rollin' down the block, checkin' out the spots
 She winks at the cops, always give her props
 She knows she's the woman, can't nobody touch her
 Hangs with the elite, makes her papes from the gutter
 Tried to make my moves on Miss Elaine, she called me young boy
 Told her not to diss me, I just want to be your love toy
 You young boy? My love toy? I doubt that very highly
 Just because you rhyme don't mean I'll let you try me
 Business oriented, egos never dented
 Always sweet-scented, if it's business, she meant it
 Distractions never hurt, always did the work
 Always was alert, she never got jerked
 Queen of the feats, thrive to compete
 Love the funky beats while she drove down the street
 She was justified, couldn't get a job
 Had to feed her family, so she had to play the mob
 Pullin' out the oowop, listenin' to doo-wop
 (You don't have to say a word)
 That's all ya heard
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 Everything is fair when you're livin' in the city
 She's not a big kahuna, wish I met her sooner
 Instead, I met her later, my love is much greater
 Put me on her roster to rid her of imposters
 And to sell the Buddha for the sexy drug ruler
 Love is my motive, now I'm drug promotive
 Plus I needed ducats to fill up my buckets
 Supplied me with the squeezy to make my life easy
 Now I'm missing action for this fatal attraction
 But don't you let me catch you with your joint up in these bitches
 And don't you even dare to plan a plot upon my riches
 'Cause if you play me out, I think I'll let ya be
 I'll be damned if I let a brotha try to gas me
 I played my cards well, try to live swell
 For the G, I would sell, 'cause I was deep in hell
 But then I really wasn't, she had a fly cousin
 Who would give me booty on the side of my cutie
 Elaine, she kinda knew, that I would do the do
 But she didn't tear, I did my work with care
 That's all that really mattered, her money never splattered
 As long as she was paid, she was in the shade
 You can't really blame her for holdin' on a flamer
 Society taught her, but they didn't tame her
 A ten clip salute, honey here's a troop
 She will never stop until she reach the top, top, top
