I'm Housin Lyrics
Coolin on the scene like a horse in a stable
A brother got ill and tried to snatch a fat cable I stepped back, like it wasn't no thing I Punched him in the jaw with the fat gold ring I had an ace in the hole when it came to that Yo Z you was packin? You know was strapped Posse kept rollin it was hard to get with 'em So I stepped back, and unbuttoned my Lee denim They kept coming, just like I figured So I stepped back, and started sprayin niggaz What a way to go out, out like a sucker But I'm on track, like a Long Island train that can head up your mission, suckers who be dissing Always on my jock like a snake always hissing Grabbing and tapping me like Luther Vandross Take me to the bar for the drink and make a toast Givin best wishes to the best MC And when the spot is blown and yo you know it's me Because I'm housin 'Cause I'm housin Because I'm housin 'Cause I'm housin Because I'm housin Because I'm housin Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb 'Cause I'm housin Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb 'Cause I'm housin Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb 'Cause I'm housin Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb Coolin' at a party, no better yet disco Head feelin' mellow from a bottle of Cisco Move... To crush and fry a sucker MC like crisco Gimme the cue, check one two Don't try to come off on me, because you doo-doo You treatin me the Z to the D, like a stepchild Let me tell you homeboy you're livin foul MC's, you know who you are On the bandwagon Why Z? Cuz you a star This is the year when the joker's are wild When a fag can't hack it and try to bite your style I get hip to the scheme, before it happens If it gets wild, then I start cappin But for now, since everything's calm Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb Because I'm housin 'Cause I'm housin 'Cause I'm housin 'Cause I'm housin Because I'm housin C'mon Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb 'Cause I'm housin Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb 'Cause I'm housin Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb Because I'm housin Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb Because I'm housin Relate to the matter, relate to the matter, relate to the matter as I drop the bomb ('cause I'm housin) Relate to the matter, relate to the matter, relate to the matter as I drop the bomb ('cause I'm housin) Relate to the matter, relate to the matter, relate to the matter as I drop the bomb ('cause I'm housin) Relate to the matter, relate to the matter, relate to the matter as I drop the bomb ('cause I'm housin) 'Cause I'm housin 'Cause I'm housin 'Cause I'm housin

that's was always what i pictured... i guess i just can't see a fight over a tv set as being a common thing to rap about.
i definitely don't get "treating me the Z to the D", though... i know it's his initials, but what does that mean?

first 4 lines
Speaks in the perspective of a rich persons TV being stolen by a poor man.
The meaning relates to inter-generation oppression. Although rich people are safe, eg" horse in the stable" it is at the cost of the poor.
next 4 lines
speaks of a business racket eg a drug business. . that had to change eg. "you know was strapped"
and eventually "what a way to go, out like a sucker" emphasizes that poor people have no other safe business than risky business ventures, such as drug, that poor people are setup to do crime just to survive, and al
second part
use of alcohol to chill out from the 'rat-race' and hardship of life. This also explains, that sometimes you need a break to think and grow as a person, that people need nurture and care, and people cant naturally be seen as "productive economic entities" but indeed, people need space and liberty, space to rest and breath, and not be pushed around. Hence "like a stepchild" Stepchilds are often treated with less love and respect, and given all the tasks of work. Hence, Zac is saying that he dosent want to be anybody's slave, or to be society's pleb or ant worker, but wants to be participate in society the same way a family loves each one its family members, tenderness , gentleness, peace, and patience and unconditional support and liberty.
finally
"i get hip to the scheme", "but for now since everythings calm"
Zac is explaining that life is a game.
No body cares about you. Race relations dont matter.
People will rip you off for a dollar.
Government will put you in prison for a dollar.
Play it wrong. And end up someones bitch.
Indirectly, i think, these last lyrics mean that sometimes people's lifes are destroyed by the 'game of life' before they mature enough to understand, process, and make personally responsible decisions, due to lack of love in society, and complete societal breakdown.
The author, Zac, see's living in society as a family living together. But if one would paint a portrait of that picture and relationships, it would be a very disgusting picture indeed.
for example... you can use your imagination
the older generations such as, grandparents would be raping their grand children, the parent would be putting their grand parents to live on the street, youths of the family would becoming wise and start to defend themselves from being raped by getting a gun- but then you have people life outsiders and govt coming into the picture, making the picture worse, but really, representing the underlying reason why the picture is so bad in the first place.

Im housin"
means exactly what it says, and is also totally consistent with the rest of the song
im housin means
- to live without a fixed location, or in uncertainty, to live in the activity of reacting to changing opinions- politics - interests, to the personal detriment to the private individual, and benefit to the corporate world or government, who seem to have an endless supply of money, wealth, and guns to keep the poor man down.
- means a activity of people who are not born into rich families and are servant to the slavery of a poor working life, which is usually concomitant with the rise of more govt and corporate power for interests which are less defined or known.

he's at a party, he gets into a fight, he shoots at rivals, he gets drunk, he's just housin'
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Housin
the second verse the character is merely talking about his skill on the mic and how poor other MC's are.
The song is very simple and self explanatory. It is certainly not an allegory
for the "rat race" "life being a game" and "racism". it's just a good story about life as a thug.
