If you havin girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

I 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 zapper toes

You'd celebrate the minute you was havin dough

I'm like "f*ck 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 sh*t, so!

Rap mags try and use my black ass

So advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads, f*ckers!

I don't know what you take me as

Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has

I'm from rags to riches, nigg*z 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 havin girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

hit me!

The year is ninety-four, in my trunk is raw

In my rearview mirror is the motherf*ckin law

Got two choices y'all, pull over the car or (hmm)

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

"Son, do you know why I'm stoppin you for?"

Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low

Or do I look like a mindreader, sir? I don't know

Am I under arrest or should I guess some more?

"Well you was doin fifty-five in the fifty-four;

license and registration and step out of the car -

are you carryin a weapon on you? I know a lot of you are"

I ain't steppin out of sh*t, all my papers 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 should try out

for lawyer or somethin, somebody important or somethin"

Child I ain't passed the bar, but I know a little bit

Enough that you won't illegally search my sh*t

"Well we'll see how smart you are when the canine comes"

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

hit me!

99 problems but a bitch ain't one

If you 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 havin girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

hit me!

Now once upon a time, not too long ago

A nigg* like myself had to strongarm a hoe

This is not a hoe in the sense of havin a puss*

But a puss* havin no Goddamn sense, try an' 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 gon' 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 them

D.A. try to give a nigg* shaft again

Half a mill' for bail cause I'm African

All because this fool was harassin them

Tryin to play the boy like he's saccharin

But ain't nuttin sweet bout how I hold my gun

I got 99 problems B and a bitch ain't one

hit me!

99 problems but a bitch ain't one

If you 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 havin girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

hit me!

Whoo! Whoo! Uh, uh

Havin girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems and a bitch ain't one, ha ha!

You crazy for this one, Rick!

It's your boy!
