Now as I flip through this world of mine
Everything is lookin' peaceful
I'm checkin' out these people
The ones that's doin' good and the ones that's doin' evilNow as I flip through this world of mind
Everything is lookin' peaceful
I'm checkin' out these people
Some doin' good and others doin' evilI heard somebody say I'll do anything nowaday to make a buck
'Cos niggas are dyin' and nobody gives a muthafuck
And you be wantin' to trip when I be talkin' about murder and thangs
I think it's obvious that you ain't never heard of mineWhat goes on in the neighborhood
East coast, West coast, ain't sh*t turnin' out good
Sometimes I wanna cry
And straight put the 9 to my muthafuckin' dome and let the bullets flyBut mama said I'm too strong to break down
And I'm caught up in another drug shake-down
'Cos they think I'm sellin' birds
But I'm workin' 9 to 5 and still ain't gettin' what I deserveSo who's fuckin' who
Is it that white man or the black man standin' next to you?
See, most blacks can't handle power
Get paid and get to changin' by the hourClosin' all the doors
Got a little paper, now they wanna treat they people like hoes
Now after takin' a look at that
How the fuck you think the white man is supposed to actSee we can't check the pecker wood
If we can't treat our own fuckin' people good
We wanna pick the fruit, but the fruit ain't ripe
Yeah, now who got the right to writeNow as I flip through this world of mine
Everything is lookin' peaceful
I'm checkin' out these people
The ones that's doin' good and the ones that's doin' evilNow as I flip through this world of mind
Everything is lookin' peaceful
I'm checkin' out these people
Some doin' good and others doin' evilNiggas are gettin' fooled by the president's plan
In jail they got a president, but they call him the boss man
The boss man is prejudiced, hurtin' 'em with politics
Better let 'em out quick or they gon' cause a riot, bitchEven if you lock the door they still got the power
'Cos the fuckin' white house reminds 'em of the watch tower
The man is watchin' over us, steady controllin' us
And if we make a move he's ready to put a hole in usEvery time I step he's always around me
To tell the fuckin' truth, I feel safer in the county
At least in jail I know what I'm up against
But everything is a muthafuckin' mystery outside the fenceThinkin' that we made it, but we ain't made it yet
And it's gettin' harder 'cos the man ain't givin' up shit, bet
Steady lettin' us down
And ain't nobody helpin' us outNow as I flip through this world of mine
Everything is lookin' peaceful
I'm checkin' out these people
The ones that's doin' good and the ones that's doin' evilNow as I flip through this world of mind
Everything is lookin' peaceful
I'm checkin' out these people
Some doin' good and others doin' evilYeah, a new beginning, yeah
Big Mike, yeah, comin' from that swamp
You know, just kickin' it how I feel
That's on the real
