[Intro]
In our town we have a State Attorney by the name of Janet Reno
She locks brothers up for not paying their child support
In your town you may have someone just like her
[Verse 1]
You think you're so slick, that you won't have to pay
You slay, get a baby, then run away
Oh, but I got a trick for your monkey a**
The boys that don't pay get cased up fast
You ask to Janet Reno and she lays the law
And when she's through with you, you'll wish you never saw
Me or the baby or the place where we met
Digging up old gold that you wish you could forget
The proof is here, it's living and breathing
And Janet Reno's makin sure that I start receiving
All the money you get, all the checks you make
Janet Reno will make sure and TAKE
[Interlude 1 (to the tune of "Yankee Doodle")]
Janet Reno comes to town collecting all the money
You stayed one day, then ran away, and started acting funny
She caught you down on 15th Ave., you tried to hide your trail
She found your a** and locked you up, now WHO can post no bail?
(Bust it!)
[Verse 2]
You're out in your 'vert, dicking it down
You start to get babbling when Reno comes around
You start changing your looks, your clothes and your car
You're not a mama's boy, you're a projects star
It's time to pay your dues, I mean pay in full
Janet's in control, you ain't got no pull
You can't boss around like the boys on the Ave
And slowly but surely I'm getting all that you have
From your bad-a** suits to your Revlon cologne
Your diamond rings, gold rope and everything you own
Will get taken and then you be sad to the max
And I'll even get your income tax
[Interlude 2 (to the tune of "Charlie Brown" by the Coasters)]
He walks in a courtroom, cool and slow
And calls Janet Reno a no good dirty ho
She locks yo a** up, now you don't know what to do
The boys on the Ave. are sure dissin you
(Hit it!)
[Verse 3]
Janet Reno gets justice for all
You can solve your problems with a phone call
So if you have a problem that you want resolved
Just straighten it out when you get in court
Put your faith in her and you'll want her respect
And if it's up to her you get all your checks
She helped me out of a jam, I'm doing well on my own
It could be the same for yours, been proven and shown
[Interlude 3 (to the tune of "This Old Man")]
Yes my man had a Brougham
But this time he's not driving it home
With a knick-knack-slam-splack, you hit it, now you're gone
Now I'm 'round town just pushing your Brougham
The next time you start to make a selection
Make sure that you got some protection
Think twice the next time before you jump right in the bed
Take a minute out to put a rubber on your head
