Landlord

This goes out to all the landlords in New York City

All across the world, you know what I mean?

You know what I'm saying? It's kind of difficult

Crazy tenants and all this

Know what I'm saying?

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all (You gotta invest into some real estate, you know what I'm trying to tell you?)

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all (Check, check, check, check, check)

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all

Well, it's the first of the month, my, where the time went? (Ding-dong)

Hello, you wanna give my rent? (Give me my rent)

You're three months behind, chick, I'm highly disappointed

Tired of huntin' you down like America's most wanted

Now hurry up, my car's in traffic

Oh, great, another excuse not to have it

"My poor kid's short, Rick," your excuses sure get sadder

But, chick, you're not paying my mortgage (My rent)

Instead of lettin' her bird brain high talk

I said, "Find the rent before I boot you on the sidewalk" (My rent)

Got 'til 9:30 to bring this

Then I'm coming back to unscrew the door hinges

That ought to bring a little effort

Make a motherfucker resort to these methods (Give me my rent)

Forgot where I came from talk

When being landlord in the city of New York is not easy

Not easy, not easy at at all

It ain't easy, not easy, not easy at all (Kid, it ain't easy)

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all

Shit sound like a riot

'Til I rang the doorbell and everybody got quiet (Give me my rent)

All of a sudden, hearing failing 'em

Also got a problem giving rent to an alien

Can you believe broke wanna act biased?

Not white or Asian, and they were Black like my ass

Instead of grabbing my TEC, crashing in there

Yoohoo, darling, I know your ass is in there (My rent)

The door unlocked, they went, "Rick"

I said, "You know what time it is, please up the rent quick" (My rent)

What I'm gonna do with 'em?

I didn't buy my house just for them to come and ruin 'em

Though I'm poppin' mad shit, they had to listen

Know this type of attitude might send me back to prison

Getting my rent from the bitch like hell, it is

Then be tryna move in stupid relatives (My rent)

Couldn't start to count the men the bitch went through

Then be giving me mad problems when my rent's due

"You need it now?" Mandatory, miss

And could you keep the place clean, you unsanitary bitch?

Roaches, mice, kept floor sloppily

Chick, you know you're lowering the value of my property? (My rent)

Forgot where I came from talk

Being landlord in the city of New York is not easy

Not easy, not easy at all

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all (I said it ain't easy)

Not easy, not easy at all

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all

So much racket, other tennis can't hack it

What the fuck is wrong with this trifling-ass cracker? (Give me my rent)

Stressed the old lady upstairs 'til her heart went

Mad traffic running in and out the chick apartment (My rent)

Section 8 paid welfare follows

Think the bitch could come up with fifty damn dollars? (Give me my rent)

Not to mention, the world's worst whore

And I heard was selling mad crack out my first floor (Rent)

Every month, chick coming up short

So I called Section 8 and said I'm taking her to court (My rent)

They act like, "Mi no hable English or Spanish"

Then she had a baby and the baby cold vanished

I had a jump, she left out hurriedly

Exterminate the chick apartment thoroughly (Give me my rent)

All of this forgetting where I came from talk

When being landlord in the city of New York is not easy

Not easy, not easy at all (Kid, it ain't easy)

Not easy, not easy at all

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all (Son, it ain't easy)

Not easy, not easy at all

Not easy, not easy, not easy at all (It's not easy)

Not easy, not easy at all (It ain't easy)

Not easy, not easy at all (Tryna tell you it's not easy, my rent)

Not easy, not easy at all (My rent)

Not easy, not easy at all (It ain't easy)

Not easy, not easy at all

Not easy, not easy at all (It ain't easy, kid)

Not easy, not easy at all
