[Chorus: 2x]

Don't grab my keys when the party's over

I drive better drunk, than you do sober

[Verse 1]

I don't know what you've been told

I've been drinkin since 12 years old

Started in 1988

Hangin at the liquor store real real late

I drunk a swallow, I drunk a cup

Drunk the bottle, I threw up

Over the years, I learned to pace it

Get kinda tipsy, but not that wasted

I like beer, but I love malt liquor

Cuz malt liquor, get me drunk quicker

Stop on the freeway, take a whiz

Hop in my Cadillac and handle my biz

I drive better drunk than I do sober

Cuz when I'm sober right

I think I can make through the, red light

Go, go, go, I hope I'm not dead right

But when I'm drunk, I know I can't

So I ain't, I drive like a saint

Drinkin is a class I did not flunk

I'm a Colt 45 certified drunk

[Chorus: 2x]

[Verse 2]

I dropped outta school in 9-0

Became the world's greatest wino

I drink at home, I drink at work

Ignore the boss, he just a jerk

I drink 12:00 in the day

Relax my nerve, serve my yay'

When my day go bad, I always drink

Calm down, relax and think

Only days we like to clown

A 24-ounce 'fore the sun go down

On weekends, that's when it's cool

To drink a 40-ounce, and act a fool

Once I get into that zone

I leave that beer and that liquor alone

I can barely walk, I can barely talk

But I can glide that Cadillac like a hawk

[Chorus: 2x]

[Verse 3]

I ran from the cops in the rain

With my church shoes on

I drove from Palmdale, California to Compton

Drunk two 40-ounces, Old English 800, the club ended

All the homies left my in the parkin lot toe' back

Wasn't nobody out there but me and the sheriff department

Fell asleep on the 14

Woke up on the 405

Fell asleep on the 405

Woke up on the 105

Fell asleep on the 105

Woke up in bed

Call that, uh, autopilot

But don't try that at home; I got skills

I am to liquor, what the Crocodile Hunter is to alligators

"These crocs, they're not your ordinary crocs

"You gotta grab them in the mandible"

We can't find no hotels man (you know what I'm sayin)

So we might have to drive

All day, and all night

I got some music

So it's alright

[Repeat 4x]

All day, and all night

I got some music

It's alright

Make you feel good

Rollin through the hood

With your windows down

Checkin out your sounds

Just lend me a light

No stress and strive, baby
