Yeah baby You just got out here? What, on Amtrack or Greyhound? Oh, my name is Kool Keith, yeah Anyway, be careful You know, people don't care about you here Everything's kind of phony and plastic Gimme a call Don't think twice I taught pretty girls the ropes I gave them money When they was hungry When they were starving I put 'em on a spot And dressed 'em up real hot I was their father watchin' cops on that sunset block Right in Denny's, I caught 'em cryin', countin' pennies Straight off the Greyhound, you need a place to lay down? Don't worry 'bout me Back home, how mommy be? We on our way, each girl today makes a G We pay them full, the top queens stick with me I'm out there cold, blank from the black hole I keep scopin' 'em, national recruitin' 'em Brothers get cheap, I still throw bags of loot to them You ran away from home To be a big star (I'm out here for you) You ran away from home To be a big star (Let me take that mind far) You ran away from home To be a big star (I'm out here for you) You ran away from home To be a big star (Let me take that mind far) I lay back with feather brims Rings in the Cadillac Teach my little girls, babies, show them how to act I hit the Vegas scene with models from a magazine Everybody tested, no HIV, the staple's clean Movin' well, my pockets grow and comes swell We're on our way, the Beverly Centre shoppin' everyday Platinum blondes and black girls I took from conds LA Express, advertisin' shapes, all sizes My Macquarie, immaculate, pumpin' every year Sharp with shoes, like to dance royal blues Suits from Paris by the Deleon De Marris I gets mine, my best girl is a dollar sign No harsh beatings and whippins, just mental power I close the doors and do my preachin' for an hour You out there, I'm still here Who bought your new hair? (Think twice) You ran away from home To be a big star (I'm out here for you) You ran away from home To be a big star (Let me take that mind far) You ran away from home To be a big star (I'm out here for you) You ran away from home To be a big star (Let me take that far) I've got mattresses, and all types of beds My game is too large, with stacks payin' off the feds I'm overridin' that boyfriend, fake married game You out here hungry, no place to stay? What's your name? My rent is so high like eyebrows above your eye Applications are there, and girls do apply Don't cry, you need a place to go beddie-bye? I'll take you there, buy you clothes everywhere Fix your weave, beauty parlors give you new hair Braids and action with new style like Janet Jackson You be smilin' with cheeks out, showin' satisfaction Upscale limits, with foxes on the front scrimmage LAPD under tables, wanna work with me From New York City, the operation's lookin' pretty Run with models from Italy, just hit the lotto Asian girl, mixed with black, with a Jheri curl You ran away from home To be a big star (I'm out here for you) You ran away from home To be a big star (Let me take that mind far) You ran away from home To be a big star (I'm out here for you) You ran away from home To be a big star (Let me take that mind far) You ran away from home To be a big star (I'm out here for you) As the stars twinkle You look At the city Of lost angels Out here
