Got Mike
He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
He's from the hood stupid what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in your zapitos
You'd celebrate the minute you was having doe
So [bad word] critics you can kiss our whole [bad word] If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if we don't play they show
They don't play out hits well we don't give a [bad word] SO
All these mags try and use our [bad word] So advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads... [bad word] I don't know what you take us as
or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has

The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the [bad word] law
I got two choices you'll pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now I ain't trying to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case
So I... pull over to the side of the road
And I heard "Son, do you know why I'm stopping you for?"
'Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low
"Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know
I under arrest or should I guess some more?"
"Well you was doing fifty five in a fifty four"
"License and registration and step out of the car"
"Are you carrying a weapon on you -- I know a lot of you are"
I ain't stepping out of [bad word] all my papers legit
"Do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?"
"Or somebody important or something?"
Nah I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my [bad word] "Well see how smart you are when the K-9's come"

Now once upon a time not too long ago
[bad word] like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of having a [bad word] But a [bad word] having no god [bad word] sense, try and push me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him, 'cause some fool's just love to perform
You know the type loud as a motor bike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is I'mma get to clapping
He and his boys gon' be yapping to the captain
And there I go trapped in the kit kat again
Back through the system with the riff raff again
Fiends on the floor scratching again
Paparazzis with theie cameras snapping them
D.A. tried to give the [bad word] the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail 'cause I'm African
All because this fool was harassing them
Trying to play the boy like he's scaring
But ain't nothing sweet 'bout how I hold my gun
I got 99 problems but this [bad word] ain't one

99 Problems but a [bad word] ain't one
