Lyrics:
(Talking intro)
1st Verse:Hey when you roll up in my ride man leave the a/c alone • and best not be talking shit about me bumpin' aceyalone • and if you burn my CD I ain't go get all butt hurt about it • cause most of ya'll ain't actually heard it but heard about it • sides I'd rather let you share it so someone could listen to it • really it's cool for me to just know that someone cool is in to it • on the reez though, you should pay for it because I need dough • so I can quit my job at pizza hut where I kneed dough • "hello?" • "hey yo what up man this is Gene!" • "hey yo you caught me at a bad time, can I get back to you Gene?" • "yeah watchu doin ?"•" I'm up in Portland workin' on a song, I'm actually in the booth right now, but I'll hit you up when I get back to Eugene • how's life though?" •" I'm doin' alright bro, it's all swell" •" nice man, I'm mo split, but I'm glad to hear that all is well" • It's Lafa Taylor here to lead you if you gimme ya hand • so if you feel it gimme a hand (help) and gimme a hand (clap) damn
Chorus:One day I mo be rich and I mo roll in dough • and use hundred dollar bills to roll indo •I'll have a bio diesel Benz that I'm rollin'• though for now I'm at the pizza parlor rollin' dough (repeat)
2nd Verse: I know this girl, (woo!) she has a butt like J-Lo • and when she dance she make it shake like jello • hey bro where is she from?, I don't know I'll ask her • hey girly where are you from? • I'm from Alaska. • Alaska, oh are you from Juneau? • No but I go down there a lot to visit, you know • she was beautiful, and I really wanted to touch her but, • I thought she'd think I was weird if I just asked to touch her butt • so I said when I look across this room you catch my eye when I browse • followed by, in addition I think you have very nice eyebrows! • by now, I'm sure she's thinkin' I'm a weirdo • but some girls tend to really like those guys that are weird though • so I said lemme play this game of craps then I'mo take you to paradise • cause I'm about to win a million dollars with this pair of dice • besides, girl we should be associated • fed her the cheesy pick up line but, "I'm a playa" so she ate it,yo.
(Chorus)
3rd Verse:I was at my vegan DJ's house he was try'na cook a plate of beats • I was like leave the cookin' to me man, you can just play da beats • cause he was try'na cook some tofu last time I was there but he made a mistake • so I convinced him to eat meat and my buddy made him a steak • and I ain't a big fan of most of these punch line MCs • though sometimes I get fed up and I wanna punch lying MCs • talking bout, my shit is lethal yo, I got poisonous rhymes • I might have even wanted to work with him if he had poise in his rhymes • but instead he talks about pimpin bitches, pullin gats and punkin fools and • pullin' drive bys in a suburban with his boys in his rhymes • that shit is not sick, he's thinkin his talk's sick • but at best it compares to like, Britney Spears Toxic and I'm like • the last thing in the universe would wanna do is put you in a verse • because people hear my shit and say wow isn't that dope! • then people hear your shit and say that isn't that dope!
(Chorus)
4th Verse:a,aa, a I said um who's sane? obviously not Saddam Hussein • we told facts of the attacks but the press didn't care • so now I'm wonderin' how to make our president care • and I love free speech but they're taken our right away • and given cops the right of way • we need to change it right away • and I hope for the best but it's hard to have faith • so at times I meditate and I blaze a half eighth • and I wear a disguise when I talk to these guys • that are trying to take away all the air from the skies • plus we got clear channel controlling the industry • so I press my own CD and I sell the shit in da street • while elites drink champagne they pour us shit • leavin' us in the gutter feelin' poor as shit • just because I'm African American • don't mean I shouldn't be treated like a freakin' American • do you feel me? but...
(chorus)
