|
Bought a brand new car
|
Driving down the boulevard
|
Turn the corner
|
Like I wanna be chilin' hard
|
The screen is set
|
For me to get wet
|
Cause it wouldn't be right
|
If the ladies didn't sweat
|
Pull the seat back
|
To make contact
|
Eye to eye
|
You know I ain't living like that
|
I wear shades
|
I get paid
|
And when it comes to girls
|
And cops I can't get played
|
Fly girls that
|
Used to ignore me
|
I pull up
|
And let the car speak for me
|
(beep beep)
|
Enough said
|
Better hop in while the light's still red
|
Homeboys scatter
|
What's the matter
|
("Here come the cops")
|
Oh yeah that again
|
Rather than
|
Beating them down
|
I just talk to the men
|
They don't understand how I've got so much cash
|
Then I get mad and tell them to ask
|
Their daughter
|
I bet she bought a
|
Kool Moe Dee tape
|
For her recorder
|
We're not always
|
Thieves and thugs
|
And what law says
|
We gotta sell drugs
|
I get paid
|
And I'm making a killin'
|
But when I come home
|
I just like chillin'
|
On the
|
Avenue, a-avenue (4x)
|
Action
|
That's where the stars go
|
On the weekend
|
It's like a car show
|
Ladies flock to jock
|
Cars go by them
|
If I'm walking and talking
|
They ask what ya driving
|
When I peep that
|
Same old weak rap
|
Ask her her language
|
Tell her I don't speak that
|
Pull out a "G"
|
A car key and a Visa
|
Walk her to the car
|
Leave her there "see ya"
|
She didn't want
|
Nothin' else but a payday
|
Now she's sinking
|
Hollering Mayday
|
I knew her card
|
Cause two days ago
|
I saw that same slick girl
|
In a broken-down Yugo
|
With a hustler
|
Layin' low
|
Couldn't drive his Benz
|
Cause the cops said so
|
Your homeboy got shot
|
In front of your crack spot
|
You move cause it got to hot
|
But not on that block
|
The cops are watching
|
Baiting and plotting
|
Setting you up
|
For the raid in the block and
|
When they come
|
You all got to go
|
But not Kool Moe
|
Cause they all know
|
The knot I got
|
Is way over their knot
|
But I'm working
|
That's why they're not
|
After me
|
They're after you
|
Cause I'm just chillin'
|
On the
|
Avenue, a-avenue (4x)
|
Homeboys wanna get paid
|
We can do this
|
the right way
|
You'll get money and respect
|
Livin' large and correct
|
Then come back through the neighborhood
|
When you look good
|
We all look good
|
Cause it's all for one
|
And one for all
|
It's got to be a better way
|
To get the money y'all
|
|
