Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I had that lille ass Nissan at your crib showin' up
Liquor store outta Arbor Mist, we Irish rosed it up
Then we rode to the movies, you rocked your fake Chloe's
You had Gap and Gucci, that's still two G's
But that's that last year purse like it's still too G
Ooh, you so bougie, boo, you coulda fooled me
'Cause five years ago you was so Fugees
Now you don't want nothin' unless it cost a few G's
[Verse 2]
You like the light skinned Ania, the dark skinned Aaliyah
The black Jennifer Lopez, a ghetto señorita
You remind me of my Jeep, but not no Kia
We could talk on your cell, but not Nokia
It be goin' in and out, that's why I barely hear ya
It be goin' in and out like the robbery
I'm tryna take this money like Rob and G Dep
Then I'ma take you to the house like Trick and Trina
[Verse 3]
Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade?
So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends?
Like a cloud in the sky
Grab your things, let's fly away
So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends?
[Verse 4]
Malik Yusef, bet your baby mama know the name
The most critically acclaimed wordsmith in the game
I give you words spit with flames
Stay to myself and let nerves mix with lames
Connoisseur of Kama Sutra
Do somethin' absurd with your dame
I used to love this girl who loved shoppin' then smokin' herb
But my job was to hustle dro
[Verse 5]
Now an artist of the smoke and word, I just hustle flow
Never a pretty boy, always a beautiful mind
Like Russell Crowe
Now you in places
No cab to take you, only the bus'll go
I would love for you and your friends to get with me and my friends
But the problemo is your attitude be on the stink side
And I no longer like you
Fuck it, now you can't ride but, ooh, would you like to?
[Verse 6]
Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade?
So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends?
Like a cloud in the sky
Grab your things, let's fly away
So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends?
[Verse 7]
Deep as the ocean is the motion of life
Thought you woulda been the sis that I chose for my wife
Not knowin' you was trife
Stiflin' a ****'s growth
All you wanna do is shop at River Oaks
Watch soaps on the couch, talk shit, and smoke
I'm workin' hard like a fiend tryna get some dope
Thought my real **** quotes to make you truer
You ain't gon' let me school ya, at least let me tutor
[Verse 8]
The sex is good but you ain't a shooter
There's a war goin' inside, you ain't a trooper
I look through the mirror and see my reflection
It ain't in your direction so I passed her like I'd rather
Return to my Bishop Juan ways, goin' wild
Like West and Kanye
Wherever I lay
My kufi is my home, goddamnit, I'm grown
Broke broad, I'ma leave your ass alone
Still wanna ride though
[Verse 9]
Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade?
So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends?
Like a cloud in the sky
Grab your things, let's fly away
So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends?
[Verse 10]
Would you like to ride shotgun in the Escalade?
So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends?
Like a cloud in the sky
Grab your things, let's fly away
So why don't you and your friends get with me and my friends?
