Lyrics for Get the Fuck Outta Dodge

Yo, this is a different neighborhood You know what I'm sayin'? Word up Yeah, rocking on foolish shit Ain't got no pussy on foolish shit Goddamn right! I was wheelin' with the boom in the back The treble was level, I like it like that I was rollin', rollin', ro-rollin' A five-o looked and said, "Hold it!" And I stopped still, I never got ill 'Cause my license was clean and I showed it I preach pow-wow instead of pow-pow I'm straight up and I'm straight, how you like me now? But I know how you do, you're straight from Babylon But I know how you do, you're straight from Babylon They said, "Turn it down, 'cause it's a new law You never seen us before, but we're raw like a war" They warned me once, they warned me twice So I knew I was warned, they had it going on I got the fuck out of Dodge with my Bronco Sixty miles an hour, one mile to go And I be pumping the sound, drowning out the cars Which tape should I rock? LL's or Raw's? I'm in the streets of New York... Yo, wait! I'm bumping my Gucci rapping Polo tape They was at it again, sirens in the air Aw, shit! So I'm out of here I put the blue in the front, put the blue in the back They cut me off and stopped me dead in the track But this is minimal, I'm not a criminal I always did what I did because I'm not a killer And I looked around, they stared me down Told me what I did, I ain't with it 'Cause word around town was a stick-up, yeah, yeah B-boy nigga in a pickup But I was topping it quickly, just a-kissing it down Sound, here we go the runaround Blaming me for my hardcore raw But they the ones with the .44 I'm just cooling, I know the beat is ruling Too loud for the crowd, the bass is large, yeah So I get the fuck out of Dodge That's right, y'all, El Commando El Commando, New York is the mando Sergeant Hawk and I'm down with the cop scene I'm a rookie and I'm rolling with a SWAT team Packing a nine, can't wait to use it Nigga and cop shit, that's my music Up against the wall, don't give me no lip, son A bank was robbed and you fit the description Now I ain't your mama and I ain't your pop Keep your music down or you might get shot This is a warning, so watch and tell Or I'ma have to put your ass in jail I'm the police and I'm in charge You don't like it, get the fuck out of Dodge!
