Lyrics for The Boomin' System

Just kick a little somethin' for them cars that be bumpin', yeah aight But we need a beat that they can front to oh, that'll work Be funky you know what I'm sayin'? Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by Funky for all the cars out there And all the brothers That like to front in their rides Check it out You know it's funky, funky, funky 'cos you heard it from hear-say A jam that you love that don't be gettin' no airplay Strictly for frontin' when you're ridin' around 12 o'clock at night with your windows down Headlights breakin' 'cos your batteries drain Armor all on your tires and a big gold chain Parkin' outside of all the hip-hop spots Push the E-Q and play connect the dots Leanin' to the side, people everywhere The trunk full of amps, there ain't no room for a spare Big beats bumpin' with the bass in back All the sophisticated suckers catch a heart attack 'Cos they don't understand why I act this way Pumpin' up the funky beat until the break of day It's because I want attention when I'm ridin' by And the girls be on my jock 'cos my system's fly Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Girlies wanna ride with a brother like me 'Cos they be hear me gettin' funky frequently They tell me don't drink and drive, I say what is this Mind your business Now pass it around Laid back, hypnotized by the funky sound People in the street see me bobbin my head While I'm checkin' out the rapper and the rhyme that he said I'm frontin', and I don't care if you know The backseat of my car is like a disco show You would think I was a good friend of Al Capone Crazy air freshener, who needs cologne Bottom to the bottom to the top to the top Cruise, it's 3 o'clock The girlies, they smile, they see me comin' I'm steady hummin', I got the funky drummer drummin' My trunk be shakin', vibratin' and rattlin' Pumpin so loud, all the shorties be battlin' A right-hand man's here without the swing Every chance I get I'm showin off my rings I can keep it up until the break of dawn 'Cos I'm frontin' in my ride and my word is bond Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by Sun roof open, so I can feel the wind blow I don't give a damn if it cracks my back window C to the O to the O to the L to the I to the N To the F to the R to the O to the N to the T to the I to the N That means I'm chillin' Like Spoonie Gee said, my seats are soft like a bed They recline way back, so I can get real 'cosy I got the gangster tapes in the place Like a basehead would say, "I want bass, I want a hit, I want a dose" You're rollin' up smilin', but you can't come close 'Cos my system is pumpin' loud Like Rakim said, "I wanna move the crowd" I warm it up with Kane, fight the power with PE Tell the cops, you gots to chill with EPMD This is something devastatin that'll break your trunk And remember, Uncle L is like the future of the funk Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by You know what I'm sayin word So next time you're in your ride pumpin' it up Just remember it's cool Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by
