Hieroglyphics - Cab Fare lyrics

[Tajai] Yo, the jam was fly, oh my now it's over My batch of pals cut so Tajai must catch a Taxicab, dag nab why'd they leave me Stuck in the late night alley, Cali's Not so hot that everyone should be sweating Yet nobody's smiling plus crews are piling Staring, thinking what they'd look like wearing My gear, I sighed when the yellow cab neared He sped up cos dreads made him think I'd vic him Now I gotta dodge thugs like I'm playing chicken An Englishman, an Irishman Five or ten Caucasians pa**ed me in their taxis Oh no such luck I'm gonna get bucked for my apparel As I seen the black gauge barrel Just then a fat cab came to my rescue Damn I'm glad black men drive them cabs too [Opio] It seems nowadays cab rides are rather pricely Especially when the driver goes for self In spite of the directions that are given They are driven to cruise backstreets That treats them to a pricely fare, exactly What happened to myself when I chose to call a taxi It pulled up to the curb and I hopped into the backseat Gave him the destination, said he'd never heard of the place And I'd have to tell him as we went along, and then placed it in drive When I said make a left he made a right Alright, I get it, you wanna make some slight Detours so you can be sure that you get yours And when I turn my head you up the bill a little more I told the cabbie to stop, he didn't think I watched it Fake reached into my pocket and then jetted like I was Rocket Ismail his tail light was broken as a token of appreciation He started chasing but I smoked him [Phesto] What? You can't escape me Mop head, drop dead, deceased Say your final summons if I catch you Bet you regret you ever ditched me Driving, conniving Guys been robbing me lately He went up Blake Street But I'm following, swallowing up steps He ran to the left, I made a left and crashed Into a rose bush, my nose crushed on impact But yo, I'll get him back [A-plus] I didn't have enough for a car, what a bummer I had to get a job driving taxis last summer All the other drivers knew that my car was spectacular Cause I had a tight, very bright yellow Acura Piling in 9 or 10 skins at a time, G Funny how the honeys with the money always find me Paying their green to see what color my house is Feeling like Del cause they would sleep on my couches I'd charge senior citizens extra, cause they never mention I'd take all the money from they pension And I'd drive a blind man around for a while Even if he only had to travel just a mile, with a smile And don't let your dog off the leash Cause if he stepped then I would have to squash the beast And if you didn't have the right change, don't even ask me Or I would have ran your a** down with my taxi
