What Can I Do? - Remastered

In any country

Prison is where society sends it's failures

But in this country

Society itself is failing

Tadow, how you like me now, I'm in the mix?

It's 1986 and I got the fix with the chicken and a quota

Got the baking soda, let the water boil, workers all loyal

Dropped out the twelfth

'Cause my wealth is shorter than a midget on his knees

Now I slang keys

Infest my hood with crack, cuz I'm the mack

Take a nation of millions to hold me back

Too big for my britches, and I got bitches

Now I'm hittin' switches, niggas want my riches

Used to get 18 when my G was alive, now a key is 13-5

'89s the number, another summer

Police ain't get no dumber

Streets dried up, used to think it would last

But being a king-pin is a thing of the past

They tried to blast me for sellin' a boulder

Now I got my ass in Minnesota

Got my own crew, it's on brand new

Damn, what can I do?

Tadow

(Now it was on from dusk to dawn

And everything jumped)

What the fuck can I do?

Tadow

(Now it was on from dusk to dawn

And everything jumped)

Already done stack me half a mill ticket

Bought a house next to Prince, so now I can kick it

Now I got ends, wavin' to my friends, rollin' in my Benz

Goin' to see the Twins, play at the dome

Police are tappin' my mobile phone

I'm almost home

Gettin' excited, indicted

Spent a grip and a year tryin' to fight it

Lawyer got paid, plea, no contest

And everything I own got repossessed

Now take a look at the dust

And I'm happy cuz I only got 36 months

Never picked up a book

But my arms are 16 inches, niggas look

Can't wait for '92 so I can get with my crew

And see, what can I do?

Tadow

(Now it was on

From dusk to dawn

And everything jumped)

Fucked up in the pen, now it's ninety-fo'

Back in LA, and I'm bailin' in the dough

Everybody, now I gotta start from scratch

So where to work at, and niggas smirk at

Me say ain't nuttin' poppin from here to the LB

What you tell me?

No it ain't crack, and everybody's jackin' for a coupe

Cuz, they sent in the troops

Even though I got muscle, that ain't my hustle

Takin' niggas' shit in a tussle

No skills to pay the bills

Talkin' about education to battle inflation

No college degree, just a dumb ass G

(Yeah, you, nigga), who me?

I got a baby on the way, damn it's a mess

"Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" Yes

Took some advice from my Uncle Fester

All dressed up in polyester

Welcome to McDonald's, may I please help you?

Shit, what can I do?

Tadow

(Now it was on

From dusk to dawn

And everything jumped)

Ayo, whatsup homie?

Why you just sitting here looking up in the sky?

Waitin on the lord

Waiting on the Lord?

Thats right, waiting on my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ

So, you aint gan do nothing with your life

But sit here and wait for Jesus to fall out the sky?

That's right

Alright then
