Bought a brand new car Driving down the boulevard Turn the corner Like I wanna be chilin' hard The screen is set For me to get wet Cause it wouldn't be right If the ladies didn't sweat Pull the seat back To make contact Eye to eye You know I ain't living like that I wear shades I get paid And when it comes to girls And cops I can't get played Fly girls that Used to ignore me I pull up And let the car speak for me (beep beep) Enough said Better hop in while the light's still red Homeboys scatter What's the matter ('Here come the cops') Oh yeah that again Rather than Beating them down I just talk to the men They don't understand how I've got so much cash Then I get mad and tell them to ask Their daughter I bet she bought a Kool Moe Dee tape For her recorder We're not always Thieves and thugs And what law says We gotta sell drugs I get paid And I'm making a killin' But when I come home I just like chillin' On the Avenue, a-avenue (4x) Action That's where the stars go On the weekend It's like a car show Ladies flock to jock Cars go by them If I'm walking and talking They ask what ya driving When I peep that Same old weak rap Ask her her language Tell her I don't speak that Pull out a 'G' A car key and a Visa Walk her to the car Leave her there 'see ya' She didn't want Nothin' else but a payday Now she's sinking Hollering Mayday I knew her card Cause two days ago I saw that same slick girl In a broken-down Yugo With a hustler Layin' low Couldn't drive his Benz Cause the cops said so Your homeboy got shot In front of your crack spot You move cause it got to hot But not on that block The cops are watching Baiting and plotting Setting you up For the raid in the block and When they come You all got to go But not Kool Moe Cause they all know The knot I got Is way over their knot But I'm working That's why they're not After me They're after you Cause I'm just chillin' On the Avenue, a-avenue (4x) Homeboys wanna get paid We can do this the right way You'll get money and respect Livin' large and correct Then come back through the neighborhood When you look good We all look good Cause it's all for one And one for all It's got to be a better way To get the money y'all Kool Moe Dee The Avenue
