They Might Be Taping

Lyrics

[E-40] I like this Rick Rock I don't be slackin in my mackin, I be doin it in a player fashion Makin it happen, speakers slappin, scootin and skatin and Cadillac'n I be, representin my region and pullin up in somethin decent Used to buy shit off the lot, but now lately I've been leasin Like the white man I've been thinkin, tryin to come up with a plan How to spend this dope money, buy some houses and some land Tryin to teach you niggas somethin, tryin to lace you like a shoe Buy a couple of fixer-uppers pimpin it ain't gotta be brand new I'm a boss about my shit, about the way I carry it The way I wear my glasses low, the way I sport my toothpick The way I pop it at a ho, the way I utilize my mouth The way I keep my fuckin blow over ol' relative's house Beware of yo' surroundings, gotta handpick yo' cronies Gotta be about your allowance, and ex out all the phonies Gotta watch out for them folks, gotta watch yo' conversations Gotta be careful on the phones cause them folks might be taping [Hook] (Aww shit, talk in pig latin, use the codes) They might be taping (Aww man, you think they taping?) Gotta be careful on them phones cause them folks might be taping (Aww shit, they readin lips, cover your nose) They might be taping (Naw man, you think they taping?) Gotta be careful on them phones cause them folks might be taping [E-40] Gimme 40 feet & an ounce of space, ain't even had time to wash my face I been in the traffic tryin to get it, I ain't got time to fuckin waste My money's short like a snippet, I'm tryin to smack it up and flip it I'm tryin to turn this thousand dollars into a quarter of a meal ticket Some of you suckers be lyin to kick it, but that ain't the fuckin way Niggas be sellin mo' wolf tickets than fake autographs on eBay My orangutangs'll growl, with our upside down smile We been doin it for a while, you can check my d-boy file I be fuckin 'em up like this man, I be killin 'em off like that Drivin' up in they hoes mayne and treatin them hoes like rats Niggas don't really know that I'm so sincere about this here Niggas don't really know that I got my name from drinkin beer Do a cauliflowered ear, me and my Musketeers Come through with them choppers, let the lil' homey steer I like to dress up in my Dockers, camouflage my real career But I'm really packin Glocks, pistols busty like Pam Grier [Hook] [Interlude] "Taping, taping, taping-taping-taping" {*2X*} [E-40] They might be taping "Taping, taping, taping-taping-taping" {*2X*} [E-40] Gotta be careful on the phones cause them folks might be taping [E-40] I wish a motherfucker would, I'm still livin' my second childhood My mentality, my frame of mind, all hood I'm in the loco booth with my nine, breakin down a backwood Sippin on 40, drink cloud nine, try to get it while it's good In the heart of the soil, in the middle of the paint, where it ain't Where we park our cars in the grass, sell hop and push crank Where the dopefiends dig in our tracks and siphon gas from our tanks Where the biggest hypocrites in the church call themselves saints I don't gossip like bitches I mind my own fuckin business Dig yaper good money cause that sucker shit ain't nutritious I don't be burnin no bridges I'm a loyalist 'bout my riches Gumbo pots boil, good with the skillet like a chemist Steady long like a female weave, cooler than antifreeze Bust you in the toe like Eddie Murphy did Della Weeze Act like you know what I represent, bitch please That powdered milk, Section 8, and that government cheese, ho! [Hook] [Outro - same as Interlude]
