Clunked the 40 on the flo and placed his palm on the dash And wheezed out, cmon man, make this motherfucker mash! Aint gon mash too fast, cause my tags aint right Me and jesus the pimp in a 79 granada last night Chorus: *sung* (2x) Oakland do you wanna ride? I can't hear you! oakland do you wanna ride tonight? [boots] City lights from far way can makeyou drop yo jaw Sparklin like sequins on a transvestite at mardi gras There's beauty in the cracks of the cement When I was five I hopped over them wherever we went to prevent Whatever it was that could break my mommas back Little did I know that it would roll up in a cadillac And matta-fact, she couldnt see him like a cataract And on the track, she went from beautiful to battleaxe And back at home, she would cry into her pillow Vomit in the commode, I was six years old I would crawl onto her lap and we would hug and hold She asked me what I thought of jesus when he broke off some bread I said, he missin a arm, and he seem like a pee-pee head She said, don't cuss, and my teeth to go brush And get ready for bed, and the toilet to flush With tears in my mommas eyes, I was her everything Before she went out on the stroll Shed tuck me into bed and sing: Youre much too beautiful for words (4x) I see the red and white lights as the ambulance flies Reminds me of midnight in a dopefiends eyes And my 9-year-old self as paramedics leave Left to ball my eyes out on a neighbors sleeve To make illustrations that are clear and clean Ill take you two hours back before this scene: Early in the morning when the sun starts to creep When the birds start to chirp and crackheads go to sleep Moms was comin in I heard her keys go clink Wearin nothin but pumps, bikini, and fake mink Even though she served, for fifty dollars-a-pop Hardly had enough for rent after jesus re-copped That day the landlady got her rent befo he got his knot Slammed mommas head against the front bolt lock Then the pump wit one arm done harm Reached back and plowed into her head like a farm Never saw the act, locked in the back, I was cussin Heard the blap blap of tewnty headcrack percussion And body blows, her body froze from bolos to the spine I was hysterically cryin, all she could do was whine She didn't even have the strength to say, I love you boo But I said it to her and she knew that I knew She was dead by the time the ambulance got on the case But I never will forget the plastic hand stuck in her face Stop at the intersection to ask jesus bout directions S go to frisco.. (I got very friendly vocal inflections) Mob a left at macarthur to continue in flight Me and jesus the pimp in a 79 granada last night Chorus [boots] The rain dropped giant pearls, God was pissin on the world Or that old man who was snorin rolled on over and earled My temperatyre gayge read cold and blistery Spinnin wheels made each piece of asphault history This was jesus debut out the penitentiary Fifteen years, but it seem like a century See, he went in the pen for some other murder drama Twelve years old when I wrote him quote I wanna be a pimp comma You accidentally killed my mom, no playa hation points You know how bitches act, shit exclamation points First it was a set up move, then it was the truth His letters were the only thing I had as a youth But his lopsided game, see, was really counterfeit So my little son dominic thinks that Im a dick Cause I was runnin round like a little baby jesus To me women had to be saints, hoes, or skeezers And I don't think that it's gon end til we make revolution But who gon make the shit if we worship prostitution? Aint no women finna die for the same ol conclusion Put they life on the line so some other pimp could use em Pulled into a vacant lot, the road to recovery Pulled out my pistol as we brushed against the shrubbery Jesus said, why the hell you pointin a gat? So I pulled a piece of game I could use out the hat I said, this trip is over, we aint finna ride on This is for my mental and my momma that I cried on Microsoft motherfuckers let bygones be bygones But since Im macintosh, ima double click your icons He struggled for life, then gave up the fight Me and jesus the pimp in a 79 granada last night Chorus
