New Power Generation - Deuce & A Quarter lyrics

rate me

In my deuce and a quarter, feelin' funky funky fine

& i'm rockin' that stupid shit

in my deuce and a quarter, feelin' funky funky fine

& i'm rockin' that stupid shit

Rollin' in my deuce deuce 5

convertible top down so I can see the honeys passin' me by

it's a beautiful day in my neighborhood

but 5 or 10 minutes, a criminal puts me in a bad mood

& some would say that's just a black man's perspective

but nowaday, i find that it's reflective

of what i see goin' down everyday

my brothers and my sisters gettin' played

so we revert to committin' dope, many brothers get hurt

by another brother who don't like salt in his dirt

'cause in the streets, see, that's the way it is

you keep your mouth shut & stay out of other people's biz

see, the system wasn't made for me or you

& as a matter of fact, it wasn't made 4 a poor white who...

gets their weekly hit

or should i say that weekly check

& start depending on that shit like a glass dick

these are some of the feelings that i'm holdin'

but everything's fine while i'm rollin'...

in my deuce and a quarter, feelin' funky funky fine

& i'm rockin' that stupid shit

in my deuce and a quarter, feelin' funky funky fine

& i'm rockin' that stupid shit

(Don't everyday)

How many, how many times must we commit crimes

against people no better off than us, but in our own minds?

a-havin' it, grabbin' it, tastin' it

& when U step off, i finally rub your face in it

see, the local's preacher is not suited for the have-nots

the poor get poorer and the rich continue 2 clock ... not!

that means you end up with the booty

& we all know a broke man is a man with no friends

& that's basically the way society is

& money talk, pusher walk & sleepin' on the politics

soon we must live to consolidate

as we continue to consume instead of producin', seal our on fate

(in my deuce and a quarter, feelin' funky funky fine)

people right now really don't give a damn

(& i'm rockin' that stupid shit)

'cause in the 20 mile radius, there's probably not one black and...

hispanic taken for granted and left to clean their own shit up, huh

no need for panic, I'm out

That's bullshit!

In my... in my... in my...

Rockin' that stupid shit

Rockin'... rockin'... rockin' that stupid shit

(interlude)
