[E-40]
I like this Rick Rock


I don't be slackin in my mackin, I be doin it in a player
fashion
Makin it happen, speakers slappin, scootin and skatin and

Cadillac'n
I be, representin my region and pullin up in somethin decent
Used to buy %#@! off the lot, but now lately I've been leasin

Like the white man I've been thinkin, tryin to come up with a
plan
How to spend this dope money, buy some houses and some land

Tryin to teach you ^!$$%z somethin, tryin to lace you like a
shoe
Buy a couple of big Celebrities pimpin it ain't gotta be brand

new
I'm a boss about my %#@!, about the way I carry it
The way I wear my glasses low, the way I sport my toothpick

The way I pop it at a hoe, the way I utilize my mouth
The way I keep my $#&@in blowover over at a relative's house
Beware of yo' surroundings, gotta handpick yo' cronies

Gotta be about your allowance, and X out all the phonies
Gotta watch out for them folks, gotta watch yo' conversations
Gotta be careful on the phones cause them folks might be

taping

[Chorus]

(Aww %#@!, talk in pig latin, use the codes)
They might be taping
(Aww man, you think they taping?)

Gotta be careful on the phones cause them folks might be
taping
(Aww %#@!, they readin lips, cover your nose)

They might be taping
(Naw man, you think they taping?)
Gotta be careful on the phones cause them folks might be

taping

[E-40]

40 {?} an ounce of space, ain't even had time to wash my face
I been in the traffic tryin to get it, I ain't got time to
$#&@in waste

My money's short like I'm slippin, I'm tryin to smack it up and
flip it
I'm tryin to turn this thousand dollars into a quarter of a

mill' ticket
Some of you suckers be lyin to kick it, but that ain't the
$#&@in way

^!$$%z be sellin mo' wolf tickets than fake autographs on
eBay
My orangutangs'll growl, with our upside down smile

We been doin it for a while, you can check my d-boy file
I be $#&@in 'em up like this man, I be killin 'em off like
that

Divin up in them hoes mayne and treatin them hoes like rats
^!$$%z don't really know that I'm so sincere about this here
^!$$%z don't really know that I got my name from drinkin beer

Do a cauliflowered ear, me and my muskateers
Come through with them choppers, let the lil' homey steer
I like to dress up in my doctors, camouflage my real career

But I'm really packin woppers, pistols rusty like Pam Grier

[Chorus]


[Interlude]
"Taping, taping, taping-taping-taping" [2X]

[E-40] They might be taping
"Taping, taping, taping-taping-taping" [2X]
[E-40] Gotta be careful on the phones cause them folks might be

taping

[E-40]

I wish a mother$#&@er would, I'm still livin my second
childhood
My mentality, my frame of mind, all hood

I'm in the local booth with my nine, breakin down a backwood
Sippin on 40, drink cloud nine, try to get it while it's good
In the heart of the soil, in the middle of the paint, where it
ain't
Where we park our cars on the grass, sell hop and push crank

Where the dopefiends dig in our tracks and siphon gas from our
tanks
Where the biggest hypocrites in the church call themselves
saints
I don't gossip like (*##$es I mind my own $#&@in business

Dig yaper good money cause that sucker %#@! ain't nutritious
I don't be burnin no bridges I'm a loyalist 'bout my riches
Gumbo pots boil, good with the skillet like a chemist
Steady long like a female weave, cooler than antifreeze
Bust you in the toe like Eddie Murphy did DeLouise

Act like you know what I represent, (*##$ please
That powdered milk section 8 and that government cheese, hoe!

[Chorus]


[Outro - same as Interlude]
