1, 2, 3 Lyrics

1.. 2.. 3.. thousand problems
1.. 2.. 3.. thousand problems

(problems, who's got problems
She's got problems, got problems
Three thousand problems, got problems)

It's a cool summer night
My .44's on my waist gotta half a stick of dynamite
Got some beef wit some niggas across town
Keep my man to the ground
I gotta shut it down, they pull up on my block
I'm in my little brown hooptie
So they guess I want the white rock
They walk close towards my ride
Surprise motherfucker it's a hit from the South side

1.. 2.. 3.. thousand problem
(I got.. problems, three thousand problems)

I put two to his head
I jumped on the southern state then I'm rushin out to Hempstead
One down and one to go
I heard the next nigga's on and he's gotten a ball of dough
I kick in the nigga's door
I slap the nigga in the jaw wit my nickel played .44
And word up ya'll shoulda saw
The way this nigga hit the floor when the Freaky got raw
Some bitch tried to burst but I shot her in the back
BAH! Aiyyo Money where your stash at?
He took me back inside to this room
Beside the safe full a G's he had mad bags of boom

1.. 2.. 3.. thousand problems
(Problems, I I got problems)

A lot to do
I call up the underground let me speak to that nigga Lu
He said, "Taliq, whats up my man?"
I got this nigga locked down wit my joint to his gut
And word up he got an mail press
Aiyyo Money what's this address?
1245 Boulevard Queens, and and tell my man they try to caravan
Understand I'm on a mission
And just be nice to pack some extra ammunition
And get some Phillies from the store
Yo park the van on the corner and you're comin through the side door

1.. 2.. 3.. thousand problems
(I got problems, we got problems)

They arrived here on the double
Money beggin on repeat yo he don't want trouble, I told Lou to move the chairs
Aiyyo Cheeks, help me take this dead bitch down the stairs
I come back up for the session
Money still tied the fuck up confessin
I blow some smoke into his eyes, here nigga
Take two more puffs before you die
Yo, I stood up, about-faced him
And yo Lost Boyz waste him (BAH BAH)
And yo Queens waste him (BAH BAH), and yo Southside waste him (BAH BAH)

1..2..3.. thousand problems
(Who got problems
Pretty Lou and the whole motherfuckin world
I got problems)

It's 3 o'clock in the mornin
Shit is on motherfucker shit is on
Yeah yeah, I gotta get this nigga Shawn
I'm drivin in a stolen car wit no motherfuckin lights on
I heard Shawn got crazy ends
But before I do this thing I go and pick up my best friends
A forty ounce and lead feels right
I got this hit up on Hillside (Hillside)
Understand now he's a gonner
I roll all my windows down pull my shit on the corner
But I still bein' sneaky
(What's your name?) Cause I'm freaky Taliq, I'm freaky Taliq
But right now I got beef wit this nigga named Shawn
Shit is on word is bond money is gone
He's wit his bitch in bed (ah ah)
I pulled out my .44, but I don't put it to his head
Cause this shit is too easy (even though)
Even though he can go in one squeeze G, it's it's it's crazy
Mr.B's L-B's, a people.. 1.. 2.. 3.. 3.. thousand problems
1.. 2.. 3.. thousand problems

About

This song bio is unreviewed

1, 2, 3, also known as 1, 2, 3 Thousand Problems, is the 15th track on the Lost Boyz’s 1996 debut Legal Drug Money. Instead of Mr. Cheeks doing the verses and Freaky Tah doing the over-dubs, Tah handles the verses while Cheeks does the hook and over-dubs. The song lasts 6 minutes and 54 seconds, making it the longest song on the album.

The song is a story of Tah getting ambushed by a man, only for him to get killed by Tah. Tah then goes to the house of another man, shoots his girlfriend, and ties the man to a chair. Tah then calls for Cheeks and his friends to help him. When they arrive, Tah pours smoke into the man’s eyes and shoots him. The final verse details a hit that Tah is about to do, but he ends up not doing it.

Though it was not released as a single, the song has since become one of the Lost Boyz’s most popular songs.
