"This afternoon we want to talk about" "Now I want you brothers to dig where we coming from"[WC]Five yers ago when I was in high schoolNo bills to pay, I used to say to myself "Life is cool"I had a roof over my head and a part-time jobSlanging at OB`s birdstandWashington High was the school I attendedTil `87 graduation came and I wasn`t with itKicked out the house at the age of 18No money for college, mmm, how should I handle things?I tried to go the so-called right wayAnd went to a JC but I wasn`t getting paidI`m working at a chicken stand now with the chickenWith a spring at the top of my hat getting clownedI gotta pay my rent but my job ain`t cutting itSo now I`m drinking gin saying "Here`s my alternative"To either keep doing what I`m doing, don`t tripOr go and buy gats y`all and come up on a gripSo like anybody else I went and bought a gunPulling burgs at night and now I`m counting my fundsThree times a day and I drive a coup on danasCruising through the alley bumping on "Hi" to playersYo, you can say what you want but I was taught on the streetsThat if a brother didn`t work, then he didn`t eat "You don`t work, you can`t eat"[Coolio]Peep this, something kind if for weaknessFocus on the park and watch how I freak thisSubject for survival, got to stay aliveI gotta eat so I do or dieNot a full-time crook but I was born rightSo if I want to eat, sometimes I got to jackSo jack I will and go get some presidentsA foot in the ground and the other on an oil slickMoney ain`t everything but either is brokenessGive me a knife cause I can`t live off happinessOnce a brother said I can`t work for the white kindStanding on the corner in a soup lineSaid he`s too black, too strong, ain`t done nothing yetWaiting on the fifth for his government relief checkHumming and bumming, most hate to see him comingAnd every first and 15th, these strongs on his lifeBut a hustle is a hustle and a meal is a mealThat`s why I`m real and I ain`t afraid to stealStraight from the street, backed up by a funky beatIf you don`t work, OG, then you don`t eat "You don`t work, you can`t eat" (Repeat 2x)[Ice Cube]Ayo, I want y`all to meet a nigga from the Lench MobHe gaffled for his meals (McDonald`s is my spot)Ayo Jay Dee, kick some shit for the Maad Circle, G[Jay Dee]If you don`t work, you don`t eat, need I say more?Cause I`m a kick my rhymes in abundant while you stay poorSince I was 14 I raised myselfI built a roof over my head and then I went for selfI sold cooked-up rock, made my way through schoolI`m not saying you should do it cause it ain`t too coolKicking ???, playing to start your backTalking about that bullshit prize, you slay me right?And you other motherfuckers out here banging for changeNeed to wise up and seek personal gainOr maintain some type of painCause they don`t give away hot lunches out here in L.A.Yo peace to the Dub and the Maad CircleFor giving me the chance to let the rhyme just flowSo you can (So you can either sell dope or get your ass a job)Jay Dee (I`d rather roll with the Lench Mob) "You don`t work, you can`t eat"[MC Eiht]Eiht is stepping from the city down underAnd I`m robbing more punk fools blind like Stevie WonderAin`t no punching a clock, I ain`t with itFor a quarter an hour I make the shit every minuteAnd please, don`t even let me catch a brother slippingHe`ll be short, shorter than shortWith my hands around his troatFool, come off the chain and braceletI know it`s wrong but face itA brother like me won`t win the lotteryAin`t no faking when it`s time to bring home the baconCause I was taught get what you`re gonna get quickAnd don`t get gaffled in the mixSo I guess I`ll keep stacking, breaking the lawChecking a fool, wrecking and breaking his jawGyeah, that`s life in the Compton streetsHomeboy you don`t work, homeboy you don`t eat "You don`t work, you can`t eat"[WC]This record was put together by Jay Dee, Coolio, and the WEight, Chilly Chill, and DJ Crazy ToonsSic brothers out to get paid causeNowadays you got to go for yourself or go brokeI`m living day by day cause you see the future ain`t promisedSo save that drama for your mamaAnd make sure you`re out of my path when I`m on the creep tipOr have your first name changed to R.I.P.
