Her and some friends on
Dm
She made a big mistake by leaving me home
I had to roam so I picked
Told him I pick him up so
Dm
D
we could drive around
Dm
D
Took the Dodge Dart, a '74
My mother left a yard but
Dm
D
I needed one more
Shaheed had me covered with
a hundred greenbacks
So we left Brooklyn and
we made big tracks
Came to a toll,
we paid and went through it

Had no destination, we was on a quest
Ali laid in the back so he could get rest
Drove down the road for

Just then a figure had caught my eye
A man with a sombrero
who was four feet high
"El Segundo," he said, "my name is Pedro

We got gas and went on to get grub

I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em

When we finished we thought
for ways to get back
I had a hunch
Dm
D
Ali said, "Pay for lunch"
So I did it
Dm
D
Pulled out the wallet and I saw
this wicked beautiful lady
She was a waitress there
Put the wallet down and stared and stared
To put me back into reality,
here's Shaheed
"Yo, Tip, man,
you got what you need?"
I checked for keys and started to step

Verse 7
Dm
D
Lord, have mercy
The heat got hotter, Ali stars to curse me
I fell bad but he makes me feel badder
Chit- chit- chatter, car stars to scatter
Breaking on out,
we was Northeast bound
D
Dm
Three days coming and three more going
We get back and there was
no slack
He said, "All right, Tip,
see you tomorrow"
Thinking about the past
week, the last week
Hopped in the car and
torpe'ed to the shack
Of Shaheed, "we gotta go
back" when he said
Dm
D
"Why?" I said, "we gotta go
Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo"
