PRINCE - Deuce & A Quarter lyrics

rate me

CHORUS:

In my deuce and a quarter feelin' funky funky fine

And I'm rockin' that stupid shit

In my deuce and a quarter feelin' funky funky fine

And 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

And 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 2 committin' dope, many brothers get hurt

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

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

U keep your mouth shut and stay out of other people's biz

See, the system wasn't made 4 me or U

And 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 and 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'...

CHORUS

(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

And when U step off, I finally rub your face in it

See, the local's preacher is not suited 4 the have-nots

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

That means U end up with the booty

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

And that's basically the way society is

And money talk, pusher walk and sleepin' on the politics

Soon we must live 2 consolidate

As we continue 2 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

(And I'm rockin' that stupid shit)

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

Hispanic taken 4 granted and left 2 clean their own shit up, huh

No need 4 panic, I'm out

That's bullshit!

CHORUS

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

Rockin' that stupid shit
