Nickel And Dime Blues

[Chorus]
 A
Oh, can you spare a nickel, brother
 A
Can you spare a dime
 D
Need a couple more dollars now
 E A
Just to get me on down the line

[Próxima Parte]
Rap:
 A
Hey there how you doing ask the folks
 A
I tell them all the same thing old black & broke
 A
And they think that's a joke but I ain't playing
 A
100% truth to what I'm saying
 A
Cuz my bones crack I'm so pro black
 A
And I got so many bills and they ain't dough stacks
 A
Pardon me kojak sucking on your lollipop
 A
You think I can get dropped off at the trolley stop
 A
I'm leaving my first gig heading to the next one
 A
I'll sleep when I'm dead trying to get these checks son
 A
Hit the studio in full Rakim mode
 A
Cuz my credit score is in permanent limbo
 A
Speed up the tempo I got to get the paper
 A
The garnish on my wages isn't adding any flavor
 A
Keep the weed in dank amounts
 A
I need folding green to fill my bank accounts

[Verse 2]
 A
Well I went down to the bodega
 A
Just to get a little mountain dew
 A
When I opened up my wallet
 A
There wasn't nothing but an IOU
 A
Well I told my situation, I asked him
 A
"What do you got for me?"
 A
He said "I got this knuckle sandwich
 A
And I'll give it to you for free"

(Violin Solo)
(Banjo Solo)
 A
Well I could not pay my ticket
 A
And I could not pay my bail
 A
Well the judge couldn't pay me the time of day
 A
And he throwed my ass in jail
 A
Well they gave me a nickel and a dime
 A
And they placed them upon my eyes
 A
For it cost much more to keep me here
 A
Than it did to let me die

[Chorus 2x]
[Chorus]
