suburbian nightmare
sir mix-a-lot
you can check my blackness
now i gotta change what i practice
so i went to the suburbs and bought me a big house
and now they wanna run a brother out?
i'm a well-educated young maker of revenue
rollin' in a big black bmw
so i'm supposed to fit because i'm straight legit
but the police still wanna trip
they accuse me of robbin' myself
never seen a brother with wealth
and now i'm trapped in the house
'cause the cops got my crib staked out
the police chief is runnin' for comissioner
cheif needs a cover-up plan 'cause he heard i'm famous
i thought amos was a burglar
he said i never heard of ya
he couldn't tell north from south
but amos was my only way out
of this suburbian nightmare
i may not look like beaver
i bought a big house for the breather
and all the rich liberals ain't friendly
so amos got a shotgun and i got a skillet
i'm a black man on the come-up
and roughed up by a cop tryin' to get hooked up
i got a meal and i just sealed two more deals
and now i'm runnin' from the cops? this ain't real!
the cops sent amos in to play that role
be a burglar and rob my home?
they offered him a deal and then took it back
ol' amos should have signed them a contract
cheif walks in talkin' that +nigga+ smack
