Cab Fare

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

I'm, not so hype that everyone should be sweatin'

Yet nobody's smilin'

Plus crews are pilin'

Starin'

Thinkin' what they'd look like wearin'

My gear

A sigh when the yellow cab neared

It sped up, 'cause dreds made him think I'd vic him

Now I gotta dodge thugs like I'm playin' chicken

An englishman, an irishman, 5 or 10 caucasians passed me

In their taxis

Oh no such luck

I'm gonna get bucked

For my apparel

As I seen a black guage barrel

Just then a fat cab came to my rescue

Damn I'm glad black men drive them cabs too

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 fair, 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

Ishmael

His tail light was broken

As a token

Of appreciation, he started chasin' but I smoked him

What? you can't escape me

Mop head

Drop dead, deceased

Say your final summons if I catch ya

Bet ya

Regret ya

Ever ditched me

Drivin'

Connivin'

Guys been

Robbin' me lately

He went up lake st.

But I'm followin'

Swallowin'

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

Ha, I didn't have enough for a car, what a bummer

I had to get a job drivin' taxis last summer

All the other drivers knew that my car was spectacula'

'cause I had a tight, very bright yellow acura

Pilin' in 9 or 10 skins at a time, g

Funny how the honeys with the money always find me

Payin' their green to see what color my house is

Feelin' 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 else I woulda' ran ya ass down wit' my taxi
