[00:07.77]Nothin can save ya
[00:09.02]Nothin can save ya
[00:11.58]Nothin can save ya
[00:13.33]*scratched* Nothin
[00:14.14]Just throw your hands in the air
[00:16.14]And wave 'em like you just don't care
[00:17.82]
[00:18.70]Keep 'em there
[00:19.46]
[00:20.01]Yo run the jewels run the jewels run the jewels
[00:21.83]*scratched* Can you feel it
[00:22.95]
[00:23.83]I used to be rollin like a millionaire
[00:25.58]Cash in a flash bankroll to spare
[00:27.64]Homeboys hangin champagne and girls
[00:30.77]Got my main woman Diamonds my mistress Pearls
[00:32.52]Everybody laughin at my corny jokes
[00:34.95]
[00:35.58]I was stupid; I thought that they were sincere folks
[00:38.51]It turned out they liked the money and the fame
[00:40.83]If I ain't get paid I'd be that nobody James
[00:43.20]The nobody who dreamed about bein somebody
[00:45.08]Chief rocker at the party
[00:47.32]
[00:47.83]And they was hangin like ＂Yo I'm your man
[00:50.34]I don't even care about the ring on your hand＂
[00:53.03]We'd go out to eat and chill
[00:54.90]But they would go to the bathroom when it was time to pay the bill
[00:58.34]I didn't notice all the chuckles and laughter
[00:59.72]Too busy with a female tellin me I'm the master
[01:01.59]
[01:02.40]I was slick like ＂Huh do I know you
[01:05.34]I got play here let me show ya＂
[01:07.09]Used to have a girl that was on the ball
[01:09.08]When the cash flow got low so did her calls
[01:11.09]Used to have a homeboy always chillin
[01:13.09]My cash went low he told me I was illin
[01:16.40]
[01:17.15]And don't call cause he don't hang with derelicts
[01:18.97]Broke with no cash yo I was in the mix
[01:21.03]Everybody stepped cause my pocket wasn't fat
[01:23.21]
[01:24.09]My girl got a new man I fixed his flat
[01:26.22]I'm the one that they're laughin' at
[01:28.03]They say ＂Cheesy rat you ain't all that＂
[01:31.85]
[01:32.79]Chorus: *BizMarkie again*
[01:34.54]Can you feel it
[01:35.98]Can you feel it
[01:37.10]Can you feel it
[01:38.98]Can you feel it
[01:41.04]Nothin can save ya
[01:42.30]I mean crabbin played out by backstabbin; I feel like tiein
[01:45.24]A anchor to my ankle and jumpin right in the ocean
[01:48.12]Cause I'm ashy and I can't afford lotion
[01:50.24]So-called friends in the jewelry store
[01:51.74]Told me ＂Todd come back when you get off tour＂
[01:55.12]Souped as hell I really regret it
[01:57.68]Now the only thing I got in my pocket is bad credit
[02:00.05]How can a man like me
[02:02.30]Be walkin around in a world of misery
[02:04.18]And if women like a man with a body it's not mine
[02:07.55]Cause they be walkin past me like I'm a stop sign
[02:09.61]My homeboys laugh when they pass the forty
[02:11.49]Sayin ＂Todd as if he used to have a sporty＂
[02:14.49]The Benz was slammin the Jeep was pumpin
[02:16.30]Ain't that somethin
[02:17.34]
[02:19.78]I just laugh this isn't what I was raised for
[02:21.96]When I walk away it's like ain't this a
[02:23.86]Kick in the rear that I'm standin here
[02:25.36]And can't afford a tissue for my tear
[02:26.98]Should I drink wine and brandy
[02:28.05]Or get a job puttin stripes on candy
[02:29.67]Or put a hole in donuts
[02:30.86]Cause when you're broke your middle name is ＂so-what ＂
[02:33.60]I had to learn in an incredibly fast way
[02:35.79]
[02:40.80]When you ain't got no money they treat you like an ashtray
[02:43.61]I pawned all my jewelry and clothes
[02:45.61]Right after that I got dissed by all the hoes
[02:48.36]That I thought was mine but really never was
[02:50.49]Soon the whole neighborhood got the buzz
[02:52.24]That my tank was on ＂E＂ and that means empty
[02:55.24]That Twinkie looks good so mister don't tempt me
[02:57.55]Everybody thought I was trippin
[02:59.86]I rode the back of the bus but my grip kept on slippin
[03:02.61]I'm the man that they're laughin at
[03:05.05]
[03:07.47]
[03:17.47]I wanna hang with my man like ＂Let's do this＂
[03:19.47]But this man like ＂Who this ＂
[03:22.04]
[03:22.66]That's right the brother got two faces
[03:24.10]They got me puttin the tips on shoelaces
[03:26.41]P on the Puma a mop and a bucket
[03:29.29]My motto is I don't care
[03:32.41]I don't give a damn so what why try
[03:34.97]I might as well rob some Blake Carrington sucker for his money
[03:37.35]It's so funny
[03:37.61]
[03:42.05]Cars ride by with the boomin system
[03:43.67]Sayin ＂Leave him alone my man already dissed him＂
[03:46.68]Now I'm on the cheeseline poverty-stricken
[03:47.92]As the red tape thickens
[03:49.23]I go to the park they wanna baseball-bat me
[03:51.98]I go to the mall they throw my old tapes at me
[03:55.96]
[03:57.47]I'm so horny
[03:58.22]And every girl I know be like ＂He's so corny＂
[04:01.78]I want money in a hurry
[04:03.41]I'm gettin tired of leftover curry
[04:04.91]
[04:05.72]I wanna fall off but I don't know where the edge is
[04:08.46]I'm so hungry I eat my neighbor's hedges
[04:10.28]Now I realize I gotta go for mine
[04:12.47]
[04:13.15]It's windshield time
[04:13.71]
[04:15.77]I take quarters pennies dimes and nickles
[04:17.77]
[04:18.65]And a kiddy's tricycle
[04:20.21]
[04:20.90]I'm a desperado
[04:21.52]＂I'ma steal your rims＂ is my motto
[04:25.21]I watch wrestlin until I'm dizzy sore
[04:27.08]So if you're cashin your rent check know how to get busy
[04:30.27]Go to the drive-through run with a milkshake
[04:31.96]Go to the supermarket pocket a raw steak
[04:33.25]
[04:35.99]I need beer
[04:36.50]I'ma catch the Miller truck out there

[04:44.50]
