Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Funky Cars ride by For all the cars out there And all the brothers That like to front in they rides Check it out You know it's funky, funky, funky 'cause you heard it from here see A jam that you love that don't be gettin' no airplay Strictly for frontin' when you're ridin' around Twelve o'clock at night wit' ya windows down Headlights blinkin' 'cause your battery's drained 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 'Cause 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 'cause my system's fly Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by with the boomin' systems (just frontin') Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Girlies wanna ride wit' a brother like me 'Cause they be hear me gettin' funky frequently They tell me don't drink and drive, I say what is this? Mind your business And 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 three 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' My 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 'Cause I'm frontin' in my ride and my word is bond Cars ride by with the boomin' systems (frontin', you know what I mean) 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 cozy 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 'Cause 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 (yeah, just frontin') Cars ride by Cars ride by with the boomin' systems (you know what I'm sayin') Cars ride by (word) So next time you're in your ride pumpin' it up (cars ride by with the boomin' systems) Just remember it's cool (cars ride by) Cars ride by with the boomin' systems Cars ride by (peace)
