something like that.
That's a long story.
Cm
So what went down?

All right, I'll tell you.
D
G
Watch this.
Cm
G
Yo, yo, eight years ago, 1995,
D
G
me and my man from
Bed -Stuy was down to do a dive.
Cm
Eb
Back then, I rode the train
D
G
with a pad and a pen
But he had a whip and
Cm
asked me if I wanna ride
G
D
He helped me out with a part -time job
G
Where I worked at a car service,
even helped me learn to drive
Cm
G
And even though I was just
C#
D
getting to know the scene
G
I had more regular customers
than he'd ever seen
Cm
G
D
But see, we made a good team
G
Hooked up with a plan to
find a dispatcher
Who could make us more green
Cm
Eb
D
But I was green to the scheme
G
Content with trading in my gypsy
cab status for a limousine
Cm
C
Cm
Little did I know the plan
D
wasn't quite complete
G
Cause now we had to compete
with a whole fleet
C
G
D
Not to mention I was strictly on call,
G
C
so I couldn't even catch my own fares in the street, that's weak
G
D
G
My man got more and more shites than everyday,
try to say I should hit him for a piece of my pay
Cm
G
D
G
But when he robbed the dispatcher and they tried to blame me,
I had to cut him off in the worst way
Cm
G
I guess the moral of the story is,
D
G
to be dollar van glorious, you gotta know the biz
C
Cm
G
D
G
Cause it be's like that sometimes, even if you whip a fat rhyme,
Cm
you're still bound to have car trouble
G
D
Man, so that's why I don't trust
G
this record industry man
Cm
You don't know people trying to help you,
G
trying to hurt you
D
But what's so crazy is,
G
I'm on my way to this record label right now
Cm
G
Supposed to dis cuss giving me a deal or something,
you know what I'm saying?
I just don't know what to ask for,
you know what I'm saying?
I don't know how many, whatever it is, something about points,
Eb
royalties, you know what I'm saying?
G
But I need this deal back, yeah
Cm
G
Mmm, so you need a whip,
D
wondering what kind to get
G
Coupe, sedan, minivan, damn, better yet
Cm
A
G
D
SUV to roll over your competition
G
First of all,
slow down and analyze your mission
Cm
G
Who you rolling with, your girl,
Eb
your crew, your fam?
G
You need the night rider kit or the
Cm
A -team van
G
D
All you soloists are down with a band
G
Cause six in a two seat is not a good plan
C
D
Five hundred, five thou, five hundred thou
G
Will you settle for a hoopty or ride in style?
C
G
You want a dope car to
D
fly females could see
G
Or something simple to get you from point
A to
B
Cm
G
And how you paying for it?
D
What you prepared to do?
G
You talking cash on the table?
Damn, scared of you
Cm
If not, you're gonna
C#
D
have to finance
G
That means you in the bed
but ain't no romance, y 'all
You gotta pay the cost to sit
behind the wheel and shit
Most of your check going
straight to the dealership
Cm
Not to mention the mech
G
anics cost money
Cause getting stranded on the road
Cm
ain't nothing funny
G
And if you don't keep a charge and gas
D
G
Well that fast lane joyride
ain't gonna last
C
G
You need a whip that puts
Eb
D
miles on the gallon
G
And got enough power for
the uphill challenge
Cm
And I hope you know
G
D
where you're trying to go
G
Parking in the wrong spot
you get jacked to toe
Cm
So, I ain't trying to discour
D
age or bust your bubble
G
But if you land the wrong deal you're
Cm
D
G
bound to have car trouble
Cm
me up on right there man, I didn't know it was that serious man,
D
G
yo man, maybe I should
C
Cm
D
call these people and cancel, you know what I'm saying,
G
I don't think I'm ready for it,
C
you know what, better just stop right here, stop right here,
you know what, I'm just going
G
to think about this, I'm going to hop out and catch a train man,
Cm
good looking out.
