Ghetto Bird - Remastered

Lyrics

Why, oh why, must you swoop through the hood
 Like everybody from the hood is up to no good?
 You think all the girls around here are trickin'
 Up there, lookin' like super-chicken?
 At night, I see your light through my bedroom window
 But I ain't got shit, but the pad and pencil
 I can't wait 'til I hear you say
 "I'm going down, mayday, mayday, I'm gonna clown"
 'Cause every time that the pigs have got me
 Y'all rub it in with the flying Nazi
 Military force, but we don't want ya
 Standin' on my roof with the rocket launcher
 So fly like an eagle
 But don't follow us wherever we go
 The shit that I'm saying make sure it's heard
 Mother fuck you and your punk-ass ghetto bird
 Run, run, run from the ghetto bird
 Run, run, run from the ghetto bird
 Now, my hommie's here to lick on a trick for a Rolex
 And let me try the Ford next
 Now the Ford I was driving is hotter than July
 Looked up and didn't see a ribbon in the sky
 Saw a chopper with numbers on the bottom
 Calling all cars, I think we've got 'em
 I hit the gas and I mashed past Inglewood
 I think I drove through every single hood
 South Central, Compton and Watts
 Long Beach, bust a U, here come the cops
 Wish I had a genie with about three wishes
 Metal flake green on D's, I look suspicious
 You know that I'm running, shit, I hear it humming
 Fuck, I see it coming
 Is it a bird? Yup, is it a plane? No
 I hit me a right on El Segundo
 Wanted to hola, had to ditch the Impala
 Let's see if they would follow
 Me hit a fence, hit a fence, and another
 Met me a baby Pitbull and his mother
 Ran up in some people house and looked out of the window
 I wish it was my kinfolk
 Had to pull a strap on a fool named Louis the Third
 'Cause I'm getting chased by the ghetto bird
 Just put his hat, err, he combed his hair, and then put his hat back
 Oh, he's acting nonchalant up there in that cockpit
 Going a hundred and fifteen miles an hour
 With the police chasing him
 They're not gonna be real happy when they catch up with him
 No matter what the eh
 Err, they hate, they hate a bigmouth even worse"
 Officer Bird's on his way, and I don't wanna see him
 Could you please give me the keys to the BM?
 See, I didn't wanna gank you
 But don't make me bank you, thank you
 Tried to get to the hood, and you might guess
 That a fool like me done shot Cyrus
 Incognito, ghetto eagle
 Saying, "Fuck, where did he go?"
 I bust me a left on Ruthelen
 Park the 735 and I'm bailing
 Went to my home girl's house and got a hug, man
 She helped me run like Harriet Tubman
 Looked out the window by the black bed
 I saw the pigs and the Ford on a flatbed
 Then the light from the Bird hit me in the face
 I closed the blinds 'cause I didn't wanna catch a case
 All that night, I heard the Bird circle
 While I was eating fish and watching Urkel
 She said I could sleep on the couch
 By 2a.m. I was digging her out, fuck the ghetto bird
 Which way is he going now?
 Ok now, now he's, he's actually southbound on a service street
 And, uh, gee whiz, I'm gonna have to get my maps out here
 And figure out which service street he suddenly turned off on
 Uh, the Sheriffs are, are well, I know that Sheriffs ground units got thrown off
 Mother fuck you and your punk-ass ghetto bird
