Points Of Authority / 99 Problems / One Step Closer

Lyrics

If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 ♪
 He's gotta mic
 He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
 Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
 Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
 He's from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those
 If you grew up with holes in your zapitos
 You'd celebrate the minute you was havin' doe
 So, fuck critics, you can kiss our whole asshole
 If you don't like my lyrics, you can press fast forward
 Beef with radio, if we don't play they show
 They don't play out hits, we don't give a shit, so
 All these mags try and use our ass
 So, advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads, fuckers
 I don't know what you take us as
 Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
 From rags to riches, nigga, we ain't dumb
 We got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
 If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
 And the year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
 In the rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law
 I got two choices ya'll, pull over the car or
 Bounce on the Devil, put the pedal to the floor
 Now, I ain't tryin' to see no highway chase with Jake
 Plus, I got a few dollars, I can fight the case
 So, I pull over to the side of the road
 I heard, "Son, do you know what I'm stoppin you for?"
 'Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low
 Do I look like a mind reader, Sir? I don't know
 Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo?
 You was doin' fifty five in a fifty four
 License and registration and step out of the car
 Are you carryin' a weapon on you? I know alot of you are
 Well, I ain't steppin' out of shit, all my papers legit
 But do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?
 Well, my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
 And I know my rights, so, you gon' need a warrant for that
 Aren't you sharp as a tack, get me some type of lawyer or some
 Somebody important or somethin'?
 Ha, I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit
 Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
 We'll see how smart you are when the K-9's come
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
 If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
 If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
 If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 Now, once upon a time, not too long ago
 A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
 This is not a hoe in the sense of havin' a pussy
 But a pussy havin' no goddamn sense, try and push me
 I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
 Pray for him 'cause some fools just love to perform
 You know the type, loud as a motor bike
 But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
 The only thing that's gonna happen is I'ma get to clappin'
 He and his boys gon' be yappin' to the captain
 And there I go traped in the kit, kat again
 Back through the system with the riff, raff again
 Fiends on the floor scratchin' again
 Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin' them
 D A tried to give the nigga the shaft again
 Half-a-mil for bail 'cause I'm African
 All because this fool was harrasin' them
 Tryin' to play the boy like he's saccarin
 But ain't nothin' sweet 'bout how I hold my gun
 I got 99 problems, being a bitch ain't one
 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
 If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
 If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 ♪
 Shut up when I'm talking to you
 Shut up, shut up, shut up
 Shut up when I'm talking to you
 Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
 I'm about to break
 (Everything you say to me)
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 (I need a little room to breathe)
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 (Everything you say to me)
 I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
 (I need a little room to breathe)
 I got 99 problems and I'm about to break
