Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, Fatlip, man
Yo, man, they tryin' to run a power move on us, man
Yo, man
You got to tell the suckers what's up, boy
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I got a letter from the DMV the other day
I opened and read it, it said they were suckers
They tried to tell me that my license was suspended
I got offended for a minute then pretended
That I never even got the damn letter
It's nine o'clock on the dot, so I think I'd better
Scoot off to school, 'cause in class there's a test
I gotta dress fast, grab my glasses and my vest
Oh, damn, as hardheaded as I am
Hopped in my hooptie ride, pumped up the jam
Put it in reverse into first and disperse and
From that very moment on my day got worse
[Verse 3]
As I was standing in the street, I suddenly seen the smoke
I know that Derek's on his way, I ran to get my coat
And a bag from the room, it took a minute, boom
Hopped into the car, we drove away in a zoom
I assume doom as we were drivin' on the gravel
At any given minute we could have a shortened travel
So I ramble about my life, is actually shambles
Should have took the bus
A bus without the silence or some old Nikes
I wish we had good bikes
We need to exercise, maybe we could take a hike
And you could give Sheri back those car keys
Because everywhere I walk I would not have to say please
[Verse 4]
Please, don't pull me over, Mr. Officer
Don't pull me over, Mr. Officer, please
Please, don't pull me over, Mr. Officer
Don't pull me over, Mr. Officer, please
Please, don't pull me over, Mr. Officer
Don't pull me over, Mr. Officer, please
Please, don't pull me over, Mr. Officer
Don't pull me over, Mr. Officer, please
[Verse 5]
Away to our destination
No license, no insurance, not even registration
Tags on the plate say, "December '82"
Car's so dirty it looks gray, but it's really blue
Who would think we're up to good?
Four black **** ridin' through the neighborhood
In hats and glasses, makin' funny passes
Like drivin' slowly playin' low-key for asses
Knowin' damn well one-time will harass us
And all the while, we see girls jog
Sheri's little car is pourin' out smog
Then we made a right and I spotted one in tights, ooh
(Yo, baby, what's up? Pullover)
[Verse 6]
(You live with your homeboys?)
Yeah, I live with my homeboys
(That's where you're takin' me to your house, where your homeboys are?)
I mean but they're not home
(You ain't got your own crib?)
Naw, I ain't got (5-0, man, 5-0)
[Verse 7]
Lights, action, without the camera
Sirens and high beams, two to a tee
The blue coat billy goats are crowding up my rearview
Hot on the tail of an innocent being
My heartbeat is racin' at a pace so fast
I'm wishin' that the coppers would get off my ass
But damn, can't go to jail 'cause it's wack
What would happen to my girl and my record contract?
Yo, fellas, (What?) take off the baseball caps
Word up, I heard that the nerves get tapped
And throw on the glasses and give up the tees
Oh, please don't pull me over, officer, please
I'm discombobulated, (What?) discombobulated (What?)
Discombobulated, malfunctioned, even faded
F-A-D-E-D, I can't believe it's me
Oh, please, oh, please, oh, please, oh, please
Oh, please
[Verse 8]
Please, don't pull me over, Mr. Officer
Don't pull me over, Mr. Officer, please
Please, don't pull me over, Mr. Officer
Don't pull me over, Mr. Officer, please
Please, don't pull me over, Mr. Officer
Don't pull me over, Mr. Officer, please
Please, don't pull me over, Mr. Officer
Don't pull me over, Mr. Officer, please
