Everything Is Fair - A Tribe Called Quest

chorus (George Clinton from Funkadelic's "Let's Take It to the People"): 
"Everthing is fair when you're livin in the city"(8X) 

Q-Tip: 
Lookin at Miss Lane, it was the fast lane 
Barely knows her name, struck by fame 
She just got a Benz, she rides with her friends 
Gotta keep her beeper in her purse to make ends 
Rollin down the block, checkin out the spots 
She winks at the cops, always give her props 
She knows she's the woman, can't nobody touch her 
Hangs out for the loot, makes her papes from the gutter 
Tried to make my moves on Miss Lane, she called me young boy 
Told her not to dis me I just want to be your love toy 
You young boy, my love toy, I doubt that very highly 
Just because you rhyme don't mean I'll let you try me 
Business oriented, egos never dented 
Always sweet scented, if it's business, she meant it 
Distractions never hurt, always did the work 
Always was alert, she never got jerked 
Queen of the feats, thrive to compete 
Love the funky beats while she drive down the street 
She was justified, couldn't get a job 
Had to feed her family, so she had to play, then rob 
Pullin out the ooh wop, listenin to doo-wop 
You don't have to say a word 
(gunshots)That's all ya heard 

chorus(4X) 

She's not a big kahuna, wish I met her sooner 
Instead, I met her later, my love is much greater 
Put me on her roster, to rid her of imposters 
And to sell the buddah for the sexy drug ruler 
Love is my motive, now I'm drug promotive 
Plus I needed duckets to fill up my buckets 
Supplied me with the squeezy to make my life easy 
Now I'm missing action for this fatal attraction 
But don't you let me catch you with your joint up in these bitches 
And don't you even dare to plan a plot upon my riches 
Cuz if you play me out, I think I'll let ya be 
I'll be damned if I let a brotha try to gas me 
I played my cards well, try to live swell 
For the G, I would sell, cuz I was deep in hell 
But then I really wasn't, she had a fly cousin 
Who would give me booty on the side of my cutie 
Elaine, she kinda new, that I would do the do 
But she didn't tear, I did my work with care 
That's all that really mattered, he money never splattered 
As long as she was paid, she was in the shade 
You can't really blame her for holdin on a flamer 
Society taught her, but they didn't tame her 
A ten clip salute, hunny heres a troop 
She will never stop until she reach the top 
Top, top...
