Working the System

I got my squaw pushing out another papoose I'm trying to increase my monthly government revenue There is a sister soon to deliver number three She is doing it out of greed, fear and love for me A little redhead I am trying to give me a money maker A couple of slaps should put her in line and awaken her The special this month is 75 dollars for 50 in food stamps The kids can live on water and corn beef hash I am currently writing letters in the name of my hoes to our state rep Telling them more revenue must be sent I laugh as the middle income is paying for all this They pay for our food, beer and cigarettes Illegals cross the borders and receive a new life Today I will find a Mexican honey No taxes once again on my money I am using my street wisdom I will always be working the system Why should I work when I can get my income from my government hoes When they beg for money, I tell them that's the way it goes I tell them to sell themselves to support our children They better have my money ready when a new month begins I am now writing a book, that is forbidden I will tell all how to work the system If this offends you in one way or another It's probably true, maybe you are one of my kid's mother
