Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cruising in my '86
No AC, HD on my Haiti tip
At the light daydreaming 'bout my lady's hips
Then I hear a **** screaming, "Can you spare a cigarette?"
His life was at a stand still, I could see the silhouette
A Vietnam vet venting think he just need attention
(And he said)
"Think I discovered the fine line
Between loving to live and living to die fly
If you govern your years, you've never denied time"
I interjected, told him, "I'm really feeling your story"
I'm on my way to the store and you're starting to bore me"
I gave him two cigarettes, then the light turn green
[Verse 2]
Getting dollars, that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I want to be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
[Verse 3]
Coming out the liquor store
Seen this **** hit the shimmy on his tippy toes
Love to stay and peep the scene but I had to go
I hop back into my whip and hit the gas on 'em
Seen these two bad bitches with that ass on 'em
Made a right at the light, I had to pass on 'em
(Why the fuck you pass on 'em?)
I was onto better things
I got a queen plus I'm thinking 'bout the wedding rings
Anita Baker in the tape deck, let her sing
So then I spark up the blunt feeling so serene
Look to my left and see the local fiend
Came running to my window then the light turn green
[Verse 4]
Getting dollars, that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I want to be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
[Verse 5]
All of a sudden, it's a problem with my stereo
I get to thinking to myself, what's the scenario?
Simultaneously, I hear voices say (There he go)
I'm looking to my left and to my right now
Paranoia creeping in, I need to pipe down
I see the police right behind me with the lights out
He said to "Get down with the get down
You on the corner, disorder hands on the curb, sit down"
Spit the blunt out of my mouth
Burnt a hole in my swede, I didn't need this shit now
False alarm, he wasn't coming for me
I dust off the ash from my 501 jeans
Reroute the GPS and then the light turns green
[Verse 6]
Getting dollars, that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I want to be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
[Verse 7]
Getting dollars, that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I want to be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
[Verse 8]
We ain't stopping till six in the morn'
Music turned up and the drink got me thrown
