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 ready for a new sport There's 4-5 suckers way way in the back Stooped down low with the crowd smokin' crack They looking at me funny coz I got a record out And a nigga with a record out is supposed to have some proud A fourth of the people in the line be hookers But the other fourth betta ask help themself A fourth 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
[Hook: Coolio]
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'n them looking funny
[Verse Two: Coolio] I walked through the front door to fill out my ap 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 MAAD ass U know Hoo! 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
Chorus
[Verse Three: Coolio] I'm sittin' at a desk talking to a social worker She thinks I'm a fool but I know that I can work her
-Punk ass ho' sittin' behind the window all toe up ass tramp Rollin' that week sheets of mine
"You have a penetentry record" -I said I know that BIATCH!
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 mistook She sittin there wonderin' what did coz I did And the whole time I'mma watchin like I'm smokin 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
