Album: It Takes A Thief

County Line Lyrics

Seven in the morning, standing in the line 

three fools in front of me, drinking on some wine 

two in the back of me sucking on a joint 

and one in back of them ready for a new sport 

there's 4-5 suckers way way in the back 

stooped down low with the crowd smokin' crack 

they looking at me funny coz I got a record out 

and a nigga with a record out is supposed to have some proud 

a forth of the people in the line be hookers 

but the other forth betta ask help themself 

a forth of the people having good faith 

and all of the rest all fucked up in the head 

a bald headed stank bitch is about to make me laugh 

and a nigga who need a bath is asking for my autograph 

ain't nothing changed but the time 

I got to get mine, so I'm standing in the county line 

 

Chorus: 

This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh 

coz it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny 

This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh 

you got to have the conned, and let'n them looking funny 

 

Verse 2: 

I walked through the front door to fill out my ap 

Here comes another sap asking if I rap 

I don't say a word coz he know that I do 

I'm down with the MAAD ass U know Hoo! 

I take a numer and a seat 

I'm sweating from the heat 

Somebody got their shoes off 

I smell their feet 

My number is 80, it's still on 20 

I look up at the clock and now IS 10:30 

Free butter and cheese oh please, oh please 

Can I get my food stamps so I can leave 

I got money and a car but they don't really know it 

now they asking me a gang of questions coz I told them I was homeless 

I'm living in a car drive back in the alley 

but I use to shack up with a hooker named Sally 

line after line 

ruff is the time 

My life is in a bomb so I'm standing in the county line 

-=Chorus=- 

Verse 3: 

I'm sittin' at a desk talking to a social worker 

She thinks I'm a fool but I know that I can work her 

-Punk ass ho' sittin' behind the window all toe up ass tramp 

rollin' that week sheets of mine 

"You have a penetentry record" 

-I said I know that BIATCH! 

She wants to know what kind a work do I do 

I said I haven't worked since 1982 

I can't find a job though I looked and I looked 

took one hit of the crack and mistook 

she sittin there wonderin' what did coz I did 

and the whole time I'ma watchin like I'm smokin me a joint 

job search work the projects whackness 

and in a few weeks I'd get my check 

now I got to wait for them to call me trough the window 

so I can get some cash to pay for the hotel and the bathshow 

it's 5:13 by the clock on the wall 

mothafuckez move so I can make a phonecall 

shit is getting late and the time is 29 

that why so many niggas standing in the county line 

 

-=Chorus x 2 fade out=-
