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 beggin` for a Newport

There`s four, five suckers way way in the back
Stooped down low with the crowd smoking crack
They looking at me funny `coz I got a record out
And a nigga with a record out supposed to have some clout

A forth of the people in the line need help
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

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 a con in this land of milk and honey

I walked through the front door to fill out my app
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 mad ass you know who

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

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 a con in this land of milk and honey

I`m sitting at a desk talking to a social worker
She thinks I`m a fool but I know that I can jerk her

Punk ass ho` sitting behind the window all toe up ass tramp
Runnin that old weak shit talkin about,
"You have a penetentry record" I said, "I know that bitch"

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 was hooked

She sitting there wondering when i`ll get to the point
And the whole time I`ma wishin i could smoke 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

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 them looking funny

You got to have the conned and let them looking funny
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
