The song Bird in the Hand Lyrics is performed by Ice Cube .
FRESH OUTTA SCHOOL CAUES I WAS A HIGH SCHOOL GRAD
GOTTA GET A JOB CAUSE I WAS A HIGH SCHOOL DAD
WISH I GOT PAID FOR RAPPING TO THE NATION
BUT THATS NOT LIKELY SO HERES MY APPLICATION
HAND IT TO THE MAN AT AT&T
CAUSE WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL I GOT THE AEE
BUT THERE IS NO SE FOR THIS YOUNGSTER
I DIDN'T HAVE NO MONEY SO NOW I GOT TO PUNCH THE
CLOCK AND SLAVE AND BE HAPPY
CAUSE THE WHITTY SAYA THERE NO ROOM FOR THE AFRICAN
ALWAYS KNEW THAT I WOULDN'T CLOCK G'S
BUT WELCOME TO MCDONALDS CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER PLEASE
GOTTA SERVE YOU FOOD TAHT MIGHT GIVE YOU CANCER
CAUSE MY SON DOESN'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
NOW I PAY TAXES BUT THEY NEVER GIVE ME BACK
WHAT ABOUT DIAPER BOTTLES AND SIMILAC ]
DO I HAVE TO SELL ME A WHOLE LOTTA OF CRACK
PRODUCE IN SHELTER AND CLOTHES ON MY BACK
OR SHOULD I JUST WAIT FOR HELP FROM BUSH
OR JESSIE JACKSON AND OPERATION P.U.S.H
IF YOU ASK ME THE WHOLE THING NEEDS A DOUCHE
OR Ma*sINGALE
WHAT THE HELL
CRACK I'LL SELL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
TO THE CORNER HOUSE BITCHES
MISS PARKER,LIL JOE, AND TODD BRIDGES
OR ANYBODY THAT HE KNOWS
SO COP ME A BIRD BETTER KNOWN AS A KILO
NOW EVERYBODY KNOW
I WENT FROM PO
TO A NIGGA THAT GOT DOUGH
SO NOW YOU WANT TO PUT THE FED AGAINST ME
CAUSE I COULDN'T FOLLOW THE PLAN OF THE PRESIDENCY
I'LL NEVER GET LOVE AGAIN
BUT BLACKS ARE TOO f**kING BROKE TO REPUBLICANS
NOW I REMEMBER I USE TO BE COOL
TILL I STOP FILLING OUT MY W2
NOW SENATOR ARE GETTING HIGH
AND YOU BLACKS IN GHETTOS AT NIGHT CRY
SO NOW YOU WANT TO GIVE A PEP TALK
BUT SORRY THIS IS OUR ONLY ROOM TO WALK
CAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO DRUG PUSH
BUT A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH MORE THAN A BOOK
