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