It's my stick shift, you automat' ATM PINs and a cell phone jack When y'all jokers snap, my mic got LoJack 'Cause I've been getting chips since John and Ponch-o Keep your mouth closed and come on up out yours I shot the sheriff, that makes me outlaw Give me everything, withdraw up out yours 'Cause I got fam to feed, chicks that need weaves Tore up in the hood tryna P-I-M-P When you in the midst of a robbery What's the procedure? Here's the procedure I'm soon to be one up in a million like Aaliyah [Verse 2: Q-Tip] You're like the Outlaw Josey Wales with steel in your ribs I advise you do what we say and that's it Like Butch Cassidy, I make all the sons dance And on the stagecoach, I keep the dimes in trance I'm ridin' off in the sun with pockets lumped out Leave the town verbin' with jewels and love about Who be the black cat cat with the intelligence Making a civilized folk regain sense It's me, Jimmy Cliff, harder they come, they fall out The stressed out stranger rearrange your ball out I'm getting target practice with the sure shot aims Run you on the dancefloor with my Jesse James So click clack, it's like that Click clack, The Abstract Click clack, the Consequence We coming through, and we making you tense [Chorus: Q-Tip & Consequence] Yo, you know what this is, pa, we 'bout to set it off Hands up off your side So throw your joints in the air and keep your body movin' And you will be a'ight 'Cause it's a (Stick up, stick up, sticky stick up - keep your, keep your hands high) 'Cause it's a (Stick up, stick up, sticky stick up - keep your, keep your hands high) 'Cause it's a (Stick up, stick up, sticky stick up - keep your, keep your hands high, keep your hands high) 'Cause it's a (Stick up, stick up, sticky stick up - now put 'em up) [Verse 3: Consequence] The Black English professor, throws you under pressure Making lakes in your jersey, like Jerome Kersey Jealous and you're thirsty, cut open a cactus You scared to soar to new heights like B.A. Baracus I'm wild for the night, you's a daytime actress 1-9-2, we been rebels, hold you captive Regis and Kathy never seen this live host Upholding space jams, hitting hang 'em high notes Catch me pushing more Cherokees than Walter Oates Folks on the check-in Bills get passed and Billy Razor gets elected Now who defected? Broke camp and switched stations, Queens the foundation... 10x echo
