Cruising in my 86'
No AC HD on my Haiti tip
At the light day-dreaming bout my lady's hips
Then I hear a nigga screaming "Can you spare a cigarette"?
His life was at a stand still I could see the silhouette
A Vietnam vet venting think he just need attention
And he said
"Think I discovered the fine line"
"Between loving to live and living to die fly"
"If you govern your years you're never denied time"
I interjected, told him "I'm really feeling your story"
"I'm on my way to the store and you're starting to bore me"
I gave him two cigarettes then the light turn green
Getting dollars that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I want to be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
Coming out the liquor store
Seen this nigga hit the shimmy on his tippy toes
Love to stay and peep the scene but I had to go
I hop back into my whip and hit the gas on 'em
Seen these two bad bitches with that ass on 'em
Made a right at the light I had to pass on 'em
(Why the fuck you pass on 'em?)
I was onto better things
I got a queen plus I'm thinking bout the wedding rings
Anita Baker in the tape deck let her sing
So then I spark up the blunt feeling so serene
Look to my left and see the local fiend
Came running to my window then the light turn green
Getting dollars that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I want to be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
All of a sudden it's a problem with my stereo
I get to thinking to myself what's the scenario?
Simultaneously, I hear a voice say (There he go!)
I'm looking to my left and to my right now
Paranoia creeping in I need to pipe down
I see the police right behind me with the lights out
He said to get down with the get down
You on the corner disorder hands on the curb sit down
Spit the blunt out of my mouth
Burnt a hole in my swede I didn't need this sh*t now
(Oh!) False alarm he wasn't coming for me
I dust off the ash from my 501 jeans
Reroute the GPS and then the light turn green
Getting dollars that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I want to be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this (fantasy)
Getting dollars that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I (want to be)
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this (fantasy)
We ain't stopping till six in the morn
Music turned up
Drink got me thrown
