Songtext

0:29Bought a brand new car

0:30Driving down the boulevard

0:32Turn the corner

0:32Like I wanna be chilin' hard

0:34The screen is set

0:35For me to get wet

0:36Cause it wouldn't be right

0:38If the ladies didn't sweat

0:39Pull the seat back

0:40To make contact

0:41Eye to eye

0:42You know I ain't living like that

0:44I wear shades

0:45I get paid

0:46And when it comes to girls

0:47And cops I can't get played

0:49Fly girls that

0:50Used to ignore me

0:51I pull up

0:52And let the car speak for me

0:54Beep beep

0:55Enough said

0:56Better hop in while the light's still red

0:58Homeboys scatter

1:00What's the matter

1:01("Here come the cops")

1:03Oh yeah that again

1:04Rather than

1:06Beating them down

1:06I just talk to the men

1:09They don't understand how I've got so much cash

1:11Then I get mad and tell them to ask

1:13Their daughter

1:14I bet she bought a

1:15Kool Moe Dee tape

1:17For her recorder

1:18We're not always

1:20Thieves and thugs

1:21And what law says

1:22We gotta sell ***

1:23I get paid

1:24And I'm making a killin'

1:26But when I come home

1:27I just like chillin'

1:28On the

1:29Avenue a-avenue Avenue a-avenue

1:33Avenue a-avenue Avenue a-avenue

1:48That's where the stars go

1:50On the weekend

1:51It's like a car show

1:53Ladies flock to jock

1:54Cars go by them

1:55If I'm walking and talking

1:56They ask what ya driving

1:57When I peep that

1:59Same old weak rap

2:00Ask her her language

2:01Tell her I don't speak that

2:03Pull out a "G"

2:04A car key and a Visa

2:05Walk her to the car

2:06Leave her there "see ya"

2:07She didn't want

2:08Nothin' else but a payday

2:10Now she's sinking

2:11Hollering Mayday

2:12I knew her card

2:13Cause two days ago

2:15I saw that same slick girl

2:16In a broken-down Yugo

2:17With a hustler

2:18Layin' low

2:19Couldn't drive his Benz

2:21Cause the cops said so

2:22Your homeboy got shot

2:23In front of your crack spot

2:25You move cause it got to hot

2:26But not on that block

2:27The cops are watching

2:28Baiting and plotting

2:30Setting you up

2:31For the raid in the block and

2:32When they come

2:33You all got to go

2:34But not Kool Moe

2:36Cause they all know

2:37The knot I got

2:38Is way over their knot

2:39But I'm working

2:40That's why they're not

2:42After me

2:43They're after you

2:44Cause I'm just chillin'

2:45On the

2:47Avenue a-avenue Avenue a-avenue

2:52Avenue a-avenue Avenue a-avenue

3:06Homeboys wanna get paid

3:09We can do this

3:11The right way

3:12You'll get money and respect

3:14Livin' large and correct

3:16Then come back through the neighborhood

3:18When you look good

3:20We all look good

3:21Cause it's all for one

3:22And one for all

3:23It's got to be a better way

3:25To get the money y'all

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 ***
I get paid
And I'm making a killin'
But when I come home
I just like chillin'
On the
Avenue  a-avenue Avenue  a-avenue
Avenue  a-avenue Avenue  a-avenue
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"

Nothin' else but a payday
