The Avenue Lyrics - Singles - Kool Moe Dee

Bought a brand new car 

Driving down the boulevard 

Turn the corner 

Like I wanna be chilin' hard 

The screen is set 

For me to get wet 

Cause it wouldn't be right 

If the ladies didn't sweat 

Pull the seat back 

To make contact 

Eye to eye 

You know I ain't living like that 

I wear shades 

I get paid 

And when it comes to girls 

And cops I can't get played 

Fly girls that 

Used to ignore me 

I pull up 

And let the car speak for me 

(beep beep) 

Enough said 

Better hop in while the light's still red 

Homeboys scatter 

What's the matter 

("Here come the cops") 

Oh yeah that again 

Rather than 

Beating them down 

I just talk to the men 

They don't understand how I've got so much cash 

Then I get mad and tell them to ask 

Their daughter 

I bet she bought a 

Kool Moe Dee tape 

For her recorder 

We're not always 

Thieves and thugs 

And what law says 

We gotta sell drugs 

I get paid 

And I'm making a killin' 

But when I come home 

I just like chillin' 

On the 

Avenue, a-avenue (4x) 

Action 

That's where the stars go 

On the weekend 

It's like a car show 

Ladies flock to jock 

Cars go by them 

If I'm walking and talking 

They ask what ya driving 

When I peep that 

Same old weak rap 

Ask her her language 

Tell her I don't speak that 

Pull out a "G" 

A car key and a Visa 

Walk her to the car 

Leave her there "see ya" 

She didn't want 

Nothin' else but a payday 

Now she's sinking 

Hollering Mayday 

I knew her card 

Cause two days ago 

I saw that same slick girl 

In a broken-down Yugo 

With a hustler 

Layin' low 

Couldn't drive his Benz 

Cause the cops said so 

Your homeboy got shot 

In front of your crack spot 

You move cause it got to hot 

But not on that block 

The cops are watching 

Baiting and plotting 

Setting you up 

For the raid in the block and 

When they come 

You all got to go 

But not Kool Moe 

Cause they all know 

The knot I got 

Is way over their knot 

But I'm working 

That's why they're not 

After me 

They're after you 

Cause I'm just chillin' 

On the 

Avenue, a-avenue (4x) 

Homeboys wanna get paid 

We can do this 

the right way 

You'll get money and respect 

Livin' large and correct 

Then come back through the neighborhood 

When you look good 

We all look good 

Cause it's all for one 

And one for all 

It's got to be a better way 

To get the money y'all
