Lyrics and translation
Original
There's an intruder in my house.
He cut my phone line, can't dial out.
I scream for police, but I doubt they're gonna hear me when I shout.
. . .
A couple of cocktails will send me to jail.
There's a couple of cops hot on my trail, but this time when I get pulled over, there's a Doberman Pinscher and a pit bull in the seat. These pigs will get bit foolin' with me.
Quit foolin' with me, bitch, you're gonna see.
No pistol in the seat, why it always gotta be an issue when you're me?
And which you're gonna see in the long run, I'ma be the wrong one you wanna harass with this limo tinted glass, flashing that flashlight on my ass.
Where was you at last night when them assholes ran up on my grass?
Rapper slash actor, kiss the crack of my cracker slash ass. They took away my right to bear arms.
What, I'm supposed to fight with bare palms? Yeah, right.
They coming with -bombs, I'm coming with flare guns. -We as Americans, we as Americans.
Us as a citizen, gotta protect ourselves.
Look at how shit has been, we better check ourselves.
Living up in these streets through worse or through better health, surviving by any means. We as Americans, us as a citizen, we as Samaritans.
What do we get us in? We better check ourselves.
Look at how shit has been, take a look where you live. This is America, and we are Americans.
I make cuckoo bucks, wear a cuckoo vest.
Drama hanging over my head like a voodoo hex.
I could've been next to fly over the cuckoo's nest with you-know-who, with an S tattooed on my chest, but I finessed it.
Now I got the industry pissy ever since me and Dre split it fifty-fifty on 50.
It's funny, we got a buzz spreading quicker than making paper airplanes out of a twenty.
Fuck money, I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead.
It's never been said, but I set precedents and the standards, and they can't stand it.
My name should've been bastard. This shit should've been plastered on my forehead with a stamp.
I should've been blasted.
I should've been had a cap put in my ass, but I'm too swift and fast for that, I'm past it.
I'm too old to go and cruise grass shit, fuck that shit!
I done seen how fast this rap shit can turn into some clap-pap shit, that quick, snap, click. But this time, he got the fucking automatic.
Ain't no one gon' -test this mind, clack.
-We as Americans, us as a citizen, gotta protect ourselves. Look at how shit has been, we better check ourselves.
Living up in these streets through worse or through better health, surviving by any means.
We as Americans, us as a citizen, we as Samaritans. What do we get us in?
We better check ourselves. Look at how shit has been, take a look where you live.
This -is America, and we are Americans.
-I got a secret and you can keep it between us.
I tuck two ninas under my jeans, either side of my penis, under my long johns, under my Sean Johns.
When running with the long arm of the law, I'm long gone. I'ma do five years, no less than that, no questions asked.
So it might be a good idea that I stop right here and quit while I'm ahead.
Already in the red, already got a steady infrared meant for my head.
A target on my back, bigger problems than that. Bin Laden on my ass, he probably gon' send a task.
I ain't gon' even ask, they ain't gon' let me pack.
They ain't gon' give me my semi, but I got -my piece back.
-We as Americans, us as a citizen, gotta protect ourselves. Look at how shit has been, we better check ourselves.
