A Birth Certificate Ain’t Nothing But A Death Warrant Anyway
[Intro]
Mmm, yes sir, yes sir boss
Mmm, no sir, no sir boss
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm!
[Verse 1]
You can be a slave from the crib to the grave
And the man will love you
You can be a slave from the crib to the grave
And the man will let you, mmm
You can get into pollution, and forget revolution
And you'll dig it
Answer me this, brother
Answer me this, sister
Where you think you goin'?
Get up a choose, you might as well stand up
What you got to lose?
[Hook]
A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway
[Chorus]
You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
Go out (Get it, get it, get it, gеt it, get it)
You oughta (Get it, get it, gеt it, get it, get it)
You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
Mmm (Go on and get it)
[Hook]
A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway
[Verse 2]
The filling pudding just be that way
Instead of sniffin', you better listen to what I say
'Cause one thing's certain I can find a curtain
Ain't nothin' gonna stand in the grim reaper's way
[Hook]
A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway
[Chorus]
You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
You oughta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
Go out (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
Lord (Go on and get it)
[Hook]
A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway
[Bridge]
Mmm, mmm (Get it in your mind, lay it on the line)
Mmm (Lay it on the line)
Ooh! (Lay it on the line)
[Verse 3]
You spend your life tryin' to hustle car fare
Cold piece of your welfare if you wanna
Yeah, the man's gonna try to get through the piece
But you hang on there, snatch your beef
Hear me, hear me
[Hook]
A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway
[Chorus]
Mmm
You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
Go out (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
You oughta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
Hey, oh lordy (Go on and get it)
[Hook]
A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway
[Bridge]
(Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm
(Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm
(Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm, play!
(Go on and get it) Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
(Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm
(Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm
(Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm
(Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
