1987

I was really cruising down the street in that MR2

No license or registration made that shit go vroom

The whip only had 2 seats in it

I was dippin' down I5 feeling like the man going 80

And the police right behind not the first time I was the villain

But this feeling that I'm getting got me chilling

Lights flickered red and blue that's when I knew

I'm a black man and I don't have the luxury to be acting a fool

He asked for my License that's when i handed him my ID

He said "registration" I told him i think it's under my seat

Then he asked if I had insurance I told him I didn't

I didn't know that you needed it at this moment I'm tripping

My heart is racing I'm tripping

Thinking I shouldn't have driven

But what's the point in pretending

Like I'm not in this condition

And so he writes me a ticket

He said the reason he pulled me over

My brake lights was missing

And I don't really mean missing

It's just them shits wasn't working

So at this point I deserve it

I mean I should have been certain that all my shit was on perfect

I should have known but I was thinking I was grown

I never thought that this would happen but I'm sitting here alone

He let me go and told me make sure you get home

You're lucky I'm not someone else cause you really reap what you sew

And so

I got cocky

Like, nothing can stop me

And ever since then Nigga

Nothing could stop me

Couple more tickets but I ain't tripping

You'll never catch me in prison you'll never catch me just living like I ain't got no ambitions

I thought

And that's when everything stopped

I Was no longer humble and I was feeling on top

They locked up my brother and that's when everything changed

Gave him a year and that's a blessing

Considering someone else's life was missing

And it hit my father harder than rest of us

He got into drugs I'd never thought I'd see him mess it up
