My mother went away for a month-long trip |
|
Her and some friends on an ocean-liner ship |
|
She made a big mistake by leaving me home |
|
I had to roam so then picked up the phone |
|
Dialed Ali up to see what was going down |
|
Told him I pick him up, so we could drive around |
|
Took the Dodge Dart, a '74 |
|
My mother left a yard but I needed one more |
|
Shaheed had me covered with a hundred green backs |
|
So we left Brooklyn and we made big tracks |
|
Drove down the Belt, got on the Conduit |
|
Came to a toll, we paid and went through it |
|
Had no destination, we was on a quest |
|
Ali laid in the back so he could get rest |
|
Drove down the road for two-days-and-a-half |
|
The sun had just risen on a dusty path |
|
Just then a figure had caught my eye |
|
A man with a sombrero who was four feet high |
|
I pulled over to ask where we was at |
|
His index finger he tipped up his hat |
|
"El Segundo," he said, "my name is Pedro. |
|
If you need directions, I tell you pronto" |
|
Needed no civilization, some sort of reservation |
|
He said a mile south, theres a fast food station |
|
Thanks, senor, as I started the motor |
|
Ali said, "Damn, Tip, why you drive so far for?" |
|
When he said "why?" I said we gotta go |
|
Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
I left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
I gotta get it I got got to get it |
|
I left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Come on, lets go |
|
Anyway, a gas station we passed, we got gas |
|
And went on to get grub, there was a nice little pub |
|
In the middle of nowhere, anywhere would have been better |
|
I ordered Enchladas and I ate 'em |
|
Ali had the fruit punch |
|
When we finished we thought for ways toget back |
|
I had a hunch |
|
Ali said, " Pay for lunch", so I did it |
|
Pulled out the wallet and I saw this wicked beautiful Lady |
|
She was a waitress there |
|
Put the wallet down and stared and stared |
|
To put me back into reality, heres Shaheed: |
|
"Yo,Tip, man, got what you need?" |
|
I checked for keys and started to step |
|
What do you know, my wallet I forget. |
|
I left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
I gotta get it, I got got to get it |
|
I left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Come on, lets go |
|
Lord, have mercy, the heat got hotter |
|
Ali starts to curse me |
|
I feel bad but he makes me feel badder |
|
Chit-chit-chatter, car starts to scatter |
|
Breaking on out, we was Northeast bound |
|
Jettin on down at the speed of sound |
|
Three days coming, three more going |
|
We get back and there was no slack |
|
490 Madison, we're here, Sha |
|
He said,"All right, Tip, see you tomorrow" |
|
Thinking about the past week, the last week |
|
Hands go in my pocket, I cant speak |
|
Hopped in the car and torpe'ed to the shack |
|
Of Shaheed, "We gotta go back!" |
|
When he said,"why?", I said we gotta go |
|
Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
I left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
I gotta get it, I got got to get it |
|
I left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Left my wallet in El Segundo |
|
Come on, lets go |
