A bird in the hand is worth more than a Bush

{Big Bird: Sesame Street}
Hey look at this! I was cleaning out my nest
And I found a book of my old poetry

{Ice Cube}
Fresh out of school cause I was a high school grad
Gots to get a job cuz I was a high school dad
Wish I got paid like I was rappin' to the nation
But thats not likely, so here's my application

Pass it to the man at AT&T
Cuz when I was in school I got the a. e. e.
But there's no s. e. for this youngsta
I didn't have no money so now I have to hunch the

Back like a slave, thats what be happenin
But whitey says there's no room for the African
Always knew that I would boycott, jeez
But welcome to McDonalds can I take your order please

Gotta sell ya food that might give you cancer
Cuz my baby doesn't take no for an answer
Now I pay taxes that you never give me back
What about diapers, bottles, and similac

Do I gotta go sell me a whole lotta crack
For decent shelter and clothes on my back?
Or should I just wait for help from Bush
Or Jesse Jackson, and operation Push

If you ask me the whole thing needs a douch
A masengel what the hell cracker sale in the neighborhood
To the whorehouse bitches,
Miss porker, little joe or Todd Bridges

Or anybody that he know
So I got me a bird, better known as a kilo
Now everybody know I went from po' to a nigga that got dough
So now you put the feds against me

Cause I couldn't follow the plan of the presidency
I'm never givin' love again
Cuz blacks are too fuckin broke to be republican
Now I remember I used to be cool

Till I stopped fillin' out my W - 2
Now senators are gettin' hired
And your plan against the ghetto backfired
So now you got a pep talk

But sorry, this is our only room to walk
Cause we don't want a drug push
But a bird in the hand is worth more than the bush
