Your rating:

[Kane] Aiyyo whassup Red Alert? I'm chillin Duke
 [Red] Yo do me a favor man -- pleeeeeease tell me
 about these big ol bubblehead girls out here

 [Big Daddy Kane]
 Well hey, you know that lady on the top floor of my buildin?
 The heavyset one with about ten children?
 You may remember her as a slim honey
 when her man name was Pimp Daddy Hustler Stack Money
 A big time drug dealer from around the way
 Slingin rocks, makin G's everyday
 He drove a big fat Mercedes Benz
 and even bought her a car to perpetrate for her friends
 It was a brand new Jag, with the spoiler and rag
 And the girl was a nag, cause all she did was just brag
 I mean baaaaaaaaaaad -- we know your coat cost a lot
 You didn't have to leave on the price tag
 And count the times her stomach got plump
 Havin baby after baby by the same old chump
 And then the day came, he left the dame shamed
 But who's to blame? Y'all know the name of the game
 Pimp Daddy's wanted as he maxes and relaxes
 She can't even sue for money, pushers don't pay taxes
 So what's to do? Oh yeah
 To feed ten mouths, she had to call on Mr. Welfare

 [Red] What? Mr. Welfare?
 Man they playin high-post with low income
 Check this out -- when y'all go around to the corner
 y'all gonna check out another episode
 Go like somethin like this..

 [Big Daddy Kane]
 Hey, if you think that suck, bust this
 Another little story as I reminisce
 about an old friend of mine that was livin out of order
 Makin money like water (illlllll-egal?) Yeah, sorta
 He sold drugs and robbed a lot of people
 But in these days and times, who lives illegal?
 It's all about who knows the trade
 and who am I to knock him? Homeboy was gettin paid
 He chose his own lifestyle to live - it was negative
 but his own prerogative
 Makin cash to flash and stash in half the trash
 The cops made the dash (sufferin succotash!)
 Because he had to do ten in the pen
 and then begin again to apprehend, huh
 But what's lost is lost, the reign is over
 (Huhhh, see ya!) Nice to know ya
 Money, no longer can he collect it
 Can't even get a job cause he got a jail record
 So what's left? No hopes of a career
 So yeahhh, he's callin Mr. Welfare!

 [Red] Mr. Big Daddy Kane
 They don't know what time it is about Mr. Welfare
 Do me a favor -- open up your book to page fifteen
 at the top and read it off like thisssssssss

 [Big Daddy Kane]
 Here's a story of a guy who had to cop out his life
 for bein a high school dropout
 In the ninth grade he wanted to get paid
 but now the young brother needs government aid
 Because in his past he decided to cut class
 and run in the streets to make ends meet
 No shame in the game of his
 but silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!
 So when you sat on the corner with a 40 ounce
 talkin bout whattup? Can't even pronounce
 your words correct, now in retrospect
 that's a shame - but in '89, who gives a heck?
 There's no type of path to follow
 It's all about a dollar, fuck bein a scholar
 That's why your report card's through
 Like a BizMark beat, it reads eww-eww-eww-eww-eww!
 So now you wanna wake up and smell the coffee?
 Lookin for a helpin hand, but get off me!
 I tried to tell you the deal last summer
 Stay in school, and get yourself a diploma
 Now you're on your own, tryin to make it alone
 No food or home, chewin on a meaty bone
 So what's to do since the cupboard is bare?
 Brrring brrring! Call on Mr. Welfare

 [Red] Yo Kane, that's the story about my man Mr. Welfare huh?
 [Kane] Yo like Chuck D said, how low can you go
 [Red] If she go any lower, she gonna have a personal problem
 Yo my man Mister Cee, cut it up money!

 * Mister Cee cuts "welll-fare" *

 [Kool DJ Red Alert]
 We-eh-el-el-el, el-el-elllllllfare, c'mon!
 Yeah Mr. Welfare
 He on some new stuff, what what is it?
 He all new and improved?
 Right? Yeah, like that old Bug-Out stuff
 This guy, is he alright or what?
 I think he on a mission with no kind of learnin
 You know what Big Daddy Kane?
 We gonna have to take care of this matter
 Mister Cee, go ahead, cut it up
 My man Big Daddy Kane gonna see about my man Mr. Welfare alright?
 Places to go, people to see, things to do,
 and you know what else to get.. see ya!
 Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsss
