COUP - Cars And Shoes lyrics

[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
