The Batterram



The Batterram



(Went through my pad)







[ VERSE 1: Toddy Tee ]



Drug busters, you better beware



And don't turn your head as if you don't care



(Because they got it) they got it, they say they got you



Right in their hands and they don't need no clue



They say they're sick and tired of snatchin down bars



Cause on the tow trucks it's makin it hard



And by the time they get in-to your pad



You done flushed it down the toilet and now they're mad



And so they're mad as hell and take you to jail



But you're out the next minute cause you post bail



Then on the very next day you say, "What the heck?"



You get a letter in the mail and it's a D.A. reject



And you're jumpin up and down cause it ain't no case



And to the police that is a waste



But yeah rockman, you'll see it soon



And you won't hear a snatch, you'll hear a boom







You can't stop it, baby



The Batterram







The Batterram



You can't stop it, baby

[ VERSE 2: Toddy Tee ]



(You were so high) that night when your eyes was tight



And you didn't even notice the Batterram lights



(So gone) so gone that when they said it was there



You just shook your head and said, "I don't care"



(Based out) based out without no doubt



That when they said "give up" you cussed em out



And when your dopebustin friends drove up in their car



You stood out your chest and started actin hard



You took off your Fila shirt and your Reebok shoes



And had the nerve to call the police a bunch of fools



You called em pigs (sissies) and even punks



While the Batterram battery needed a jump



And by the time it got started you fell to the floor



And that's when the cops said they can't take no more



And you were so damn high, my little friend



That you didn't know your living room was in your den







You can't stop it, baby



The Batterram







The Batterram



You can't stop it, baby

Well, I would sit at home about to eat dinner



Had a hard time at work and my day was gettin thinner



My kids was in the room watchin Mighty Mouse



And my wife was gettin ready to leave the house



But as she opened the door she seen a flare



It was a undercover cop, he was standin there



So she hollered back to me, "Honey, come and see



Just who this strange man could be"



But when I went to the door I thought it was a dud



Cause he kept asking me to sell him drugs



I said, "Listen homeboy, what you talkin about?



You're mistakin my pad for a rockhouse



Well, I know to you we all look the same



But I'm not the one slingin caine



I work nine to five and ain't a damn thing changed



And I don't have time for the hustler's game"







You can't stop it, baby



The Batterram







The Batterram



You can't stop it, baby

[ VERSE 4: Toddy Tee ]



Mayor of the city, what you're tryin to do?



They say they voted you in in '82



(But on the next term) huh, without no doubt



They say they gon' vote your jack ass out



Because you musta been crazy or half-way wack



(To legalize somethin that works like that)



And the Chief of Police says he just might



(Flatten out every house he sees on sight)



Because he say the rockman is takin him for a fool



And for some damn reason it just ain't cool



And when he drives down the street, I tell you the truth



He gets no respect, they call his force F Troop



He can't stand it, he can't take no more



And now he's gonna have you all fall into the floor



And Mister Rockman, you better stop some day



Hang it up homeboy, your house will pay







You can't stop it, baby



The Batterram







The Batterram



You can't stop it, baby



The Batterram







(Went through my pad)







And if you didn't see the Batterram cross your line



(Honey boon) honey boon, I'm tellin you - give it time
