Ain't this a bitch, what they make po' kids do   Stand up for the flag salute   Now put your right hand over your heart   Eyes on the flag, now recite this drag   About liberty and justice for all   But that part dere it don't stand for none of y'all   Just the part about pledgin' allegiance   For all they care, you can stop right there      Take your shit and go on home   And let the television program your dome   Because it ain't no justice, the people ain't liberated   Just 'cuz one nigga made it out the ghetto, he a token black   His whole neighborhood still smokin' crack   So you will never be all that   No matter how bad you wanna switch, life is a bitch      Ain't that a bitch to see black people in the service?   Leave they spouse to do dirt for the White House   And come home lookin' for a hero's welcome   They back on the block and shell shocked   The shit coasted an arm and a leg   Can't work no job, so now you gotta beg   'Cuz all y'all got for bein' out in the field   Is handicapped stickers for your windshield      Your wife and kids was thinkin'   You was dead and buried, so she got remarried   And now you sleepin' in school gymnasiums   Just you and them lazy bums   At the overnight homeless shelter   Gettin' one hot meal, to eat from a wheelchair   But what about baseball and apple pie?   Nigga life is a bitch and then you die      (No matter how much you wanna switch)   Ain't that a bitch how they stretch out a low class citizen?   You like guilty until proven innocent   'Cuz it's written all over your face   Skin color is enough to catch a case   To them that's like concrete evidence   So whether I did it or not has no relevance   They just want another nigga in custody      So I'm 'bout to take it out on a trustee   Because all I see, is a gang of black   And brown faces missin' their shoelaces   Headed for the gang module   After they processed to get shit off they chest   While the high class criminal charges all get dismissed   They scar up my wrist   And do all they can to put a nigga through hell   Oh well, I guess life is a bitch      Ain't this a bitch, or some say female dog   To play a nigga out for some shit in a catalogue?   And then move right along to the next man   If the drama can't get him, the sex can   So all day long she's plottin'   'Cuz the nigga she had just spoiled the bitch rotten   So now she's on and straight fishin'   And gotta have the keys to every fool's ignition      But it just ain't enough black men to go around   They either dead or locked down   So I can't really call 'em bitch   I guess, 'cuz everybody wanna be rich   But that's what's happenin' in the black community   Every day, call it the games that people play   Some say human nature but is life a B I T C H or what?
