I said your life's a cartoon      [Shock G]   You woke up, threw on a striped yellow tie   Threw down a cup of coffee, kissed the wifey goodbye   Leave the office each day around eleven o'clock   Then you drive, stop, park, walk about three blocks   To a peep-show booth and meet a girl named Ruth   Wasn't sweating the shame, didn't use your real name   Booked a hotel room, suite paid until June   Get home and tell wifey that you're not in the mood   But then the game got stale and your face grew pale   When you came home early that day feeling ill   Stepped through the door, dropped your brief and your beeper   Your wife is getting down with all your housekeepers   You was mesmerised, how could you be surprised?   Only gave it to her Christmas and the fourth of July   Oh, you had it going on, with ease you really worked it   Let's review the scene just to see if it was worth it:   Okay, last fall's when you started it all   October to when you caught your wife bending over   Broke up your home now you're on your own   You lost your dignity; your self-respect is gone   I got to laugh though, cuz, cause you thought you was slick   At least she got it free, but you? Youse a big trick   You helped the pimps get paid, took a shot at catching AIDS   And got your wife turned out by the butler and the maid      [Chorus]   Your life's a cartoon      [Shock G]   Try to take a nod on the bus, put your ear in a blob   Left by a moisturiser overdoing slob   Nice and wet down your neck with the jheri curl drip   Couldn't see out the window cause the drip was so thick   Walking through the mall with the house shoe lag   Greasy doorag, sour jheri curl bag   Loud talking and walking jerking your neck   It's the first of the month, you got your welfare check   Storekeeper johns, they're rubbing their palms   Cause they know you never read the words in the Koran   Where it tells you don't be jealous ‘bout what you don't have   Support the brother who opens up a shop on the Ave.   You want slack cause you're black but if it ain't dirt cheap   You're quick to say [Humpty: I'm finna go cross the skreet]   And that's another thing, man, the way you're talking is played   You got to know the language if you wanna get paid   Oh, you got a few ends, you might be driving a Benz   But it's the credit man who wins out in the end   He's got your car loan, interest on your mother's home   He's got your daddy paying off shit he don't even own   That's what I'm talking ‘bout, man, what's the deal   But just listen, I ain't dissing, this shit is for real   Get yourself a nose job, yeah that's down   Trying to look like a white man, you brainwashed clown   You're up on European fashion and Japanese cars   But if Wong pulled his market off the block you'd starve      [Chorus]   I said your life's a cartoon
