4 Chicken Wings and Rice

[Intro] Word life, every day Every single day Same old thing, nah mean? Just anther struggle trying to put food in your stomach Keep a roof over your head, hat's what it's all about (word up) [Verse 1] Get up in the morning and I take a bath Count my cash and, wash my ass and Think about the days when I was broke, no joke Lighting up cigarette butts just to get a toke Starvin' Marvin I need a meal Putting salt and pepper on a banana peel I used to put the S on Skittles from 9 to 5 Do whatever I got to do to stay alive 30 cents away from a quarter Going to the store for a forty of water Hungrier than Jack, dreaming of a Big Mac Two all beef patties special sauce and all that But I can rap, I'mma get mines and blow up fat But the landlord don't want to here that I'm Nine Double M, I'm gonna be a star He said pay your rent I don't care who you are Disgusted and busted, couldn't be trusted Forget the hot-dog all I had was the mustard So much pain, so many tears, so many years My pockets had rabbit ears But now I'm paid, I got money to burn You had your turn, now it's my turn To make mad ends, to spend with my friends And to cruise in the Benz with the hens Now I can eat lobster, three times a day And not care about the price, but I remember The four chicken wings and rice [Chorus] (x2.5) And now you snack on four chicken wings see And now you snack on four chicken wings [Verse 2] I want to stuff my pockets like a turkey And hope that the record company don't jerk me And work me like a prostitute, and keep my loot Use and abuse me and make me want to shoot I'm in it for the cash and the love not the fame And I want proper representation of my name Checks on time, royalties in affect Don't bullshit me when it's time to collect Life is a bitch and then you die So I strive to stay alive and stay high Sang a sad song, now I sing "Redrum" So let the whole world know, here I come All work and no play makes jack rich I figured it out with that what you want shit My pockets got hit, no more four chicken wings Strictly rings and things the pussy that brings Kings on the thrones, blessing microphones Living in the castle Dark Mask got my back so I know everything going to be alright No more four chicken wings and rice, a'ight? [Chorus]
