Verse One:



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 Superchicken

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 till I hear you say "I'm going down, mayday, mayday." I'm gonna clown

Cause everytime 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 it's heard Motherfuck you and your punk-ass ghetto bird

["Run, run, run, from the ghetto bird" (2x)]



Verse Two:



Now.. My homey's here to lick on a trick for a Rolex

And let me try the four next Now the four I was driving was hotter than july

looked up and didn't see it whippin' 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 holla, had to ditch the Impala

Let's see if they would folla Me, hit a fence, hit a fence, and another

met me a baby pitbull and his mother Ran up in some peoples house and looked out of the window

I wish it was my ten-four had to pull a strap on a fool named Louis the Third

cuz I'm getting chased by the ghetto bird







"Just put his hat, ehrrr, he combed his hair and then put his hat back

on. Errr, he's acting nonchalant up there in that cockpit, going 115

miles an hour, with the police chasing him. Ehm, they're not gonna be

real happy when they catch up with him, no matter what, the eh...

Ehrr, they hate, they hate a bigmouth even worse."



Verse Three:



Officer Bird's on his way, and I don't wanna see him could you please give me the keys to the B.M.?

See, I didn't want to gank youbut don't make me bank you, thank you

Tried to get yo the hood, and you might guess that a fool like me woulda shot Cyrus

Incognito, Ghetto Eagle Saying, "Fuck, where did he go?"

I bust me a left from Rubellon. Park The 735 and I'm bailin

Went to my homegirl'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 four on a flatbed

Then the light from the bird hit me in the face I close 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 two A.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, uh, I'm gonna get my maps out here and figure

out which service srteet he suddelny turned off on. Uh, the sherriffsare..are...well I know that...

Sherriffs ground units got thrown off"



Motherfuck you and your punk-ass ghetto bird
