[Intro: John Givez]
Yo, y-yo, y-y-yo, y-yo, y-yo
[Verse 1: John Givez]
Cruising in my '86
No A/C, HD on my Haiti tip
At the light daydreaming bout my lady's hips
Then I hear a nigga screaming, "Can you spare a cigarette?"
His life was at a standstill, I could see the silhouette
A Vietnam vet venting, think he just need attention
And he said, "Think I discovered the fine line
Between loving to live and living to die fly
If you govern your years, you're never denied time"
I interjected, told him, "I'm really feeling your story
I'm on my way to the store and you're starting to bore mе"
I gave him two cigarettes, thеn the light turn green
[Chorus: Rae Khalil]
Getting dollars, that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I wanna be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
[Verse 2: John Givez]
Coming out the liquor store
Seen this nigga hit the shimmy on his tippy toes
Love to stay and peep the scene, but I had to go
I hop back into my whip and hit the gas on 'em
Seen these two bad bitches with the ass on 'em
Made a right at the light I had to pass on 'em
Why the fuck you pass on 'em? I was on to better things
I got a queen, plus I'm thinking 'bout the wedding rings
Anita Baker in the tape deck, let her sing
So then I spark up the blunt feeling so serene
Look to my left and see the local fiend
Came running to my window, then the light turn green (Skrrt)
[Chorus: Rae Khalil]
Getting dollars, that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I wanna be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
[Verse 3: John Givez]
All of a sudden it's a problem with my stereo
I get to thinking to myself, "What's the scenario?"
Simultaneously I hear a voice say (There he go!)
I'm looking to my left and to my right now
Paranoia creeping in, I need to pipe down
I see the police right behind me with the lights out
He said to get down with the get down
You on the corner, disorder, hands on the curb, sit down
Spit the blunt out of my mouth, burnt a hole in my suede
I didn't need this shit now (Oh)
False alarm, he wasn't coming for me
I dust off the ash from my 501 jeans
Reroute the GPS and then the light turn green, ahh
[Chorus: Rae Khalil]
Getting dollars, that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I wanna be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy
Getting dollars, that's the life for me
Where I'm at is where I wanna be
Ain't no slipping when that light turn green
Got me caught up in this fantasy, fantasy
