Yo baby

Put your seatbelt on

I got my paperwork, don't worry

It's cool

[ The Flex ]

Illegal search

(Do you wanna see it?)

(I'm gonna do it)

[ VERSE 1 ]

What the hell are you lookin for?

Can't a young man make money anymore?

Wear my jewels and like freak it on the floor

Or is it my job to make sure I'm poor?

Can't my car look better than yours?

Keep a cigar in between my jaws

I drink champagne, to hell with Coors

Never sold coke in my life, I do tours

Get that flashlight out of my face

I'm not a dog, so damn it, put away the mace

I got cash and real attorneys on the case

You're just a joker perpetratin a ace

You got time, you wanna give me a taste

I don't smoke cigarettes, so why you're lookin for base?

You might plant a gun, and hope I run a race

Eatin in the messhall, sayin my grace

You tried to frame me, but it won't work

Illegal search

[ The Flex ]

Keep on searchin

[ L.L. Cool J ]

I'm totally relaxed

[ The Flex ]

Illegal searchin

[ L.L. Cool J ]

Illegal search

[ The Flex ]

Keep on searchin

Keep on searchin

Keep on searchin

Gotta, gotta, gotta...

[ VERSE 2 ]

I call it nice, you call it a 'drug car'

I say 'disco', you call it a 'drug bar'

I say 'nice guy', you call me Mr. Good Bar

I made progress, you say, Not that far

I just started it, you're searchin my car

But all my paperwork is up to par

It's in my Uncle's name, so the frame won't work

Chump - illegal search

[ The Flex ]

Keep on searchin

[ L.L. Cool J ]

Illegal search

You won't find nothin

[ VERSE 3 ]

On the turnpike, and everything's right

In the background is flashin lights

Get out the car in the middle of the night

It's freezin cold, and you're doin it for spite

Slam me on the hood, yo, that ain't right

You pull out your gun if I'm puttin up a fight

My car, my clothes, and my girl is hype

But you wanna replace my silver stripes

You're a real man, your uniform is tight

Fingerprint me, take me name and height

Hopin it will, but I know it won't work

Illegal search

(Do you wanna see it?)

[ L.L. Cool J ]

Hey yo, Marley

Get funky

[ The Flex ]

Illegal illegal illegal search

[ L.L. Cool J ]

Real funky

(I'm gonna do it for ya)

(I'm gonna do it)

[ L.L. Cool J

Keep it right there

Funk it up

[ VERSE 4 ]

I was sued to court, the case got thrown out

I'm that man that you all read about

Put me in jail, you're doin it for clout

I only got one question: what's that all about?

Jail is somethin that I can do without

Case dismissed, and now you wanna pout

You feel like tryin it again, but you know it won't work

Illegal search

[ The Flex ]

Keep on searchin

[ L.L. Cool J ]

Illegal search

But I got all my ID, and my car's registered

Illegal searchin

Illegal search

And them cops out there

That did the wrong thing to one of my brothers

In Jersey

Keep on searching

Youknowmsayin?

Cause that was foul

Peace
