Coup, The


[Boots] 
Now if ya gettin' in my car don't sit down right away 
Cause my passenger seat tilts sideaways 
And don't even try to lean the shit back 
The whole damn thang'll fall off the track 
Stick your hand out, and signal for a right 
My window's stuck plus I got a broken turn light 
Naw I ain't dippin'! Sometimes I get a stuck brake 
Got my rearview attached with some duct tape 
Keep yo' knee right there! 
I'm tryna keep that glove compartment closed playa! 
The seatbelt don't work just tie it round your waist 
If you crash through the window just cover your face 
The radio gets one station on AM, it's Chinese 
but if you listed you could catch what they sayin' 
Stop complainin' -- I heard what you said 
So what the seat spring poked you in the leg? 
Didn't know it stabbed you, but what you stompin' fo'? 
You finna put yo' foot through that hole in the flo'! 
Now what you say - you gonna sue me? 
Awwww, because the baby hurt his leg and got a booby? 
Now your feelings hurt, you wanna get up out my shit 
Cool motherfucker, here you go, get yo' kicks 
You need to act a little older! 
If you want that do' to open you gon' have to use yo' shoulder 
Get the fuck up out fool, you lose - why? 
My car is better than yo' shoes 
Chorus: *sung* (2X) 
Now if you get in my bucket baby, you gotta sit on the flo' 
And I ain't go no license you know, I'm tryin-a duck the po'-po' 
[Boots] 
See me in the town you might think I'm a star 
Every three months in a different car 
Like the other day in a '81 Datsun 
wit' my alternator rollin' shotgun 
Or in the fall in a '88 Seville 
Pushin' it wit my foot down the hill 
Once I did a job, the lady didn't wanna pay me 
So she offered me a hooptie instead, I said MAYBE 
Cause it looked like it went through a war 
Missin' a door, three out of four 
Ain't bad -- but is it safe to drive? 
I'll wait til payday, then make it live 
Fixed the beat first cause that's my choice 
A bucket wit' the beat look like a Rolls Royce! 
Next week it broke down on the Bay Bridge 
And lemme tell you that motherfucker dang-ress! 
Had a hun'ed so I hit the auction block off 
Got a seven-six Pinto wit' some knock offs 
Catchin' buses be gettin' me to work late 
And you know that slow down my pay rate 
Down to zero 
No alignment make it kinda hard to steer though 
They need to pay me for all these adventures 
Tell 'em to my grandkids when I got dentures 
Makin' a buck really costs a buck fiddy 
It's only that cheap if yo' cars shitty 
Motherfuckers laughin' but it beats the AC transit blues 
Shit, my car is better than my shoes 
Chorus
