Foes who wanna make sure his casketґs closed
Rap critics that say heґs «Money Cash Hoes»

The year is ґ94 and in my [bad word] is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother [bad word]  law
I got two choices yaґll pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now I ainґt tryin to see no highway chase with jake
Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case
So I , Pull over to the side of the road
And I heard «Son do you know why I ґm stoppinґ you for?»
Cause I ґm young and I ґm black and my hats real low
Do I look like a mind reader sir, I donґt know
I under arrest or should I guess some mo?
«Well you was doin fifty five in a fifty four»
«Liscense and regestration and step out of the car»
«Are you carryinґ a weapon on you I know alot of you are»
I ainґt steppinґ out of [bad word] all my papers legit
«Do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?»
Well my [bad word] is locked so is the [bad word] and the back
And I know my rights so you gonґ need a warrant for that
«Arenґt you sharp as a tack (Yep!) you some type of lawyer or something?»
«Or somebody important or somethinґ?»

Now once upon a time not too long ago
[bad word] like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of havinґ a [bad word] 
But a [bad word] havin no God [bad word] sense, try and push me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type loud as a motor bike
But wouldnґt bust a grape in a [bad word] fight
The only thing thatґs gonna happen is imґma get to clappinґ
He and his boys gon be yappinґ to the captain
And there I go traped in the kit kat again
Back through the system with the riff raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchinґ again
Paparatziґs with they cameras snappinґ them
D.A. tred to give the [bad word] the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail ґcause Iґm African
All because ths fool was harrasinґ them
Tryin to play the boy like hes saccarinґ
But ainґt nothin sweet ґbout how I hold my gun
I got 99 problems but this [bad word] ainґt one

99 problems but a [bad word] ainґt one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a [bad word] ainґt one
