99 problems jay z cover at the live lounge

Aloe Blacc

If you re havin girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain t one

I ve got the Rap Patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket s closed
Rap critics that say he s Money, Cash, Hoes
I m from the hood, stupid! What type of facts are those?
If you grew up with holes in your zapatos
You d celebrate the minute you was havin dough
I m like, Fuck critics, you can kiss my whole asshole!
If you don t like my lyrics, you can press fast forward.
Got beef with radio if I don t play they show
They don t play my hits, well, I don t give a shit, so
Rap mags try and use my black ass
So advertisers can give em more cash for ads
Fuckers, I don t know what you take me as
Or understand the intelligence that Jay Z has
I m from rags to riches, niggas, I ain t dumb
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain t one - hit me!

99 problems, but a bitch ain t one
If you re havin girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain t one - hit me!

The year is 94, in my trunk is raw
In my rearview mirror is the motherfuckin law
Got two choices, y all: pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil, put the pedal to the floor
And I ain t 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
I heard, Son, do you know why I m stopping you for?
Cause I m young and I m black and my hat s real low?
Do I look like a mind reader, sir? I don t know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some more?
Well, you was doing 55 in a 54
License and registration and step out of the car
Are you carrying a weapon on you? I know a lot of you are.
I ain t steppin out of shit, all my paper s legit
Well, do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?
Well, my glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back
And I know my rights, so you gon need a warrant for that
Aren t you sharp as a tack?
You some type of lawyer or something?
Somebody important or something?
Well, I ain t passed the bar, but I know a little bit
Enough that you won t illegally search my shit
Well, we ll see how smart you are when the K9 come!
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain t one - hit me!

99 problems, but a bitch ain t one
If you re havin girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain t one - hit me!
99 problems, but a bitch ain t one
If you re havin girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain t one

Now once upon a time not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong-arm a ho
This is not a ho in the sense of havin a pussy
But a pussy havin no goddamn sense, try and push me
I try to ignore him, talk to the Lord
Pray for him, but some fools just love to perform
You know the type, loud as a motorbike
But wouldn t bust a grape in a fruit fight
And only thing that s gon happen is I ma get to clappin
And he and his boys gonna be yappin to the Captain
And there I go, trapped in the Kit-Kat again
Back through the system with the riff-raff again
Fiends on the floor, scratchin again
Paparazzis with they cameras, snappin em
D. A. try to give a nigga shaft again
Half a mil for bail cause I m African
All because this fool was harassin them
Tryin to play the boy like he s saccharine
But ain t nothin sweet bout how I hold my gun
I got 99 problems, bein a bitch ain t one - hit me!

99 problems, but a bitch ain t one
If you re havin girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain t one - hit me!

You crazy for this one, Rick
It s your boy
