Testo The Avenue - Kool Moe Dee
Testo della canzone The Avenue (Kool Moe Dee), tratta dall'album Knowledge Is King
I bought a brand new car, drivin' down the boulevard
Turn the corner cause I wanna be chillin' hard
The scene 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 livin' like that
I wear shades and I get paid
And when it comes to cops and girls I can't get played
Fly girls used to ignore me
Now I pull up and let the car rap for me
Enough said, better hop in while the light's still red
Homeboys scatter, what's the matter?
Oh yeah, that again, rather than
Beatin' 'em down I just talk to the men
They don't understand how I got my cash
So I get mad and tell 'em 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 makin' a killin'
When I come home I just like chillin' on the...
Four action is where the stars go
On the weekends it's like a car show
Ladies flock to jock, cars go by them
If I walk up and talk they ask me "What you drivin'?"
And when I peep that same old weak rap
I 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 nothing else but a payday
Now she's sinkin', hollerin' "Mayday"
I knew her car from two days ago
I saw the same slick girl in a broken down Yugo
Ridin' with a hustler, layin' low
He couldn't ride his Benz cause the cops said so
His homeboy got shot in front of his crack spot
He moved cause it got hot, but not on that block
The cops are watchin', baitin' and plottin'
Settin' you up for when they're raidin' the block
And when they come everybody's got to go
But not Kool Moe, cause they all know
The knot I got is way over their knot
But I ain't workin', so that's why they're not
After me, they're after you
Cause I'm just chillin' on the avenue
Homeboys on the block all wanna get paid
Well, we can do this the right way
You'll get money and respect
Live large and correct
Then come back drivin' through the neighborhood
When you look good, we all look good
It's all for one and one for all
There's got to be a better way to get the money, y'all
