Throw Your Hands In The Air

Me, Colin, Johnny and Moe

in my drop six-eight, the perv was on, and

I was spankin, a full tank and

feelin great, tape deck, Shabba Rank-in

Headin East on five-eight, the sun was shinin

Top down, I guess you could say we was excited

Cause John had the hook up

in Haywood, and I was ready to cook, but

the day was just startin

And in no time flat, it began to fall apart when

I looked into my rear view mirror

The bass was slammin, I guess I couldn't hear the

sirens, yeah it was po-po

And that's O.P.D., for those who don't know

We pulled over, to see what it was all about

He drew his gun and began to shout

[Chorus: x2]

"Throw your hands in the air!"

"Freeze, freeze, bout to" [Slick Rick] "pull this trigger"

"Throw your hands in the air!"

"Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up"

I say, "Whoa - don't get excited"

He said, "Shut up little nig-gha, you wanna bite it?

Don't bother, there was a robbery

You look guilty, as far as I can see"

Strip searched, where's the drugs and the money?

Oh you caught me, but

I'm in the backseat handcuffed

But that's when another cop car rolled up

He said, "Yo - you gotta let em slide

We caught the motherfuckers over on the Westside"

He said, "Oh," with a bitter frown

"That's cool, but I'll see ya round"

We jumped in the Mustang, police brutality's

an everyday thing, where I live

But it made me kind of hungry

But this certain, 7-11 it was the wrong scene

I reached for a chicken sandwich

My brother Colin said, "Damn!"

Cause the man at the front had a sawed-off

He shot once in the air, and then he called off

[Chorus]

The answer, "Yes sir!"

He took all the money from the cash register

and gave it to the man with the six-pack

He turned to me and said, "YO, BLACK

Act like you didn't see it..."

... so be it!

Now that was too much to take, it's like I'm in

a Nell Carter sitcom, please, give me a break

Aiyyo, now check this out

We been through too much today

I mean it's like, yaknowhatI'msayin?

The po-lice, the uhh, yaknowhatI'msayin

This fool come into the store, aiy

being jacked ain't cool

I gots to get some trim

Now it's really been a rough day

We all agree, we wanna see the chicks anyway

Mack Mo-E leanin back in the chair, he said

"Wake me up when we get there"

We smashed, ten minutes passed

We found the spot at the end of this to'-up block

We had our doubts

We left Moe in the car, to go check it out

Somethin about it didn't feel right

The girl that opened the door, she was real tight

I seen two more, and they was kinda cute

Sweet like Juicy Fruit

Once said, "Give your feet a rest

while we go in the back, comb our hair, and get dressed"

I heard a lot of clickin noises

And then I heard, "Almost ready boys"

Somethin was real suspicious

"Aiyyo John, what's up with these bah-bies?"

He said, "I just can't know, I just met em"

And then I heard "Get em!"

I looked up, a forty-five at my head

And guess what she said...

"Throw your hands in the air!"

it's jack time, but when I look back

I'm glad we let Mack Moe snore

We was gonna get it, but then he came through the front door

The girl aimed the gun, shot and missed

The kitten must have hurt her wrist

cause she dropped her gun, another pulled a switchblade

John attacked her, grabbed the knife and cracked her

Colin kicked the gun away

The others got scared, and tried to run away

I pick up the piece that was loaded with lead

and all excitement ceased when I said

[Chorus 1/2]

And we audi... youknowhatI'msayin?

We are D.O.A. audi... can't believe them bastards!
