Points Of Authority / 99 Problems / One Step Closer lyrics

If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Hit me

Got Mike

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 having doe

So fuck critics you can kiss our whole asshole

If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward

Got beef with radio if we don't play they show

They don't play out hits well 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

I'm from rags to ritches nigga we ain't dumb

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Hit me

99 Problems but a bitch ain't one

If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw

In my rear view mirror is the motherfucking law

I got two choices you'll pull over the car or

Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor

Now I ain't trying 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

And I heard "Son, do you know why I'm stopping you for?"

'Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low

"Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know

Am I under arrest or should I guess some more?"

"Well you was doing fifty five in a fifty four"

"License and registration and step out of the car"

"Are you carrying a weapon on you -- I know a lot of you are"

I ain't stepping out of shit all my papers legit

"Do you mind if I look round 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 are some type of lawyer or something?"

"Or somebody important or something?"

Nah I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit

Enough that you won't illegally search my shit

"Well 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 having 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 having 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 having girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

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 having a pussy

But a pussy having no god damn sense, try and push me

I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord

Pray for him, 'cause some fool's 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'mma get to clapping

He and his boys gon' be yapping to the captain

And there I go trapped in the kit kat again

Back through the system with the riff raff again

Fiends on the floor scratching again

Paparazzis with theie cameras snapping 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 harassing them

Trying to play the boy like he's scaring

But ain't nothing sweet 'bout how I hold my gun

I got 99 problems but this bitch ain't one

99 Problems but a bitch ain't one

If you having 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 having 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

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
