I went to the moped store, said "Fuck it" 00:25

Salesman's like "What up, what's your budget?" 00:29

And I'm like "Honestly, I don't know nothing about mopeds" 00:31

He said "I got the one for you, follow me" 00:33

Ooh, it's too real 00:35

Chromed out mirror, I don't need a windshield 00:37

Banana seat, a canopy on two wheels 00:40

Eight hundred cash, that's a hell of a deal 00:42

I'm headed... 00:43

Downtown, cruising through the alley 00:44

Tip-toeing in the street like ballet 00:46

Pulled up, moped to the valet 00:48

Whitewalls on the wheels like mayonnaise 00:50

Dope, my crew is ill, and all we need is two good wheels 00:53

Got gas in the tank, cash in the bank 00:57

And a bad little mama with her ass in my face 00:59

I'mma lick that, stick that, break her off, Kit-Kat 01:01

Snuck her in backstage, you don't need a wristband 01:04

Dope 01:06

Killing the game, 'bout to catch a body 01:09

Passed the Harley, Dukie on the Ducati 01:11

Timbaland, Khaled, Scott Storch, Birdman 01:13

Goddamn, man, everybody got Bugattis 01:16

But I'mma keep it hella 1987 01:17

Head into the dealership and drop a stack and cop a Kawasaki 01:20

I'm stunting on everybody, hella raw, pass the Wasabi 01:22

I'm so low that my scrotum's almost dragging up on the concrete 01:24

My seat is leather, alright, I'm lying, it's pleather 01:27

But girl, we could still ride together, oh 01:29

You don't need an Uber, you don't need a cab 01:31

Fuck a bus pass, you got a moped man 01:33

She got 1988 Mariah Carey hair 01:35

Very rare, mom jeans on her derriere 01:37

Throwing up the West Side as we tear in the air 01:39

Stop by Pike Place, throwing fish to a player 01:42

Downtown, downtown (Downtown) 01:43

Downtown, downtown (Downtown) 01:48

She has her arms around your waist 01:55

With a balance that could keep her safe 01:58

(Downtown) 02:01

Have you ever felt the warm embrace 02:02

(Downtown) 02:05

Of a leather seat between your legs 02:06

(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey) 02:09

(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey) 02:14

Dope 02:38

Cut the bullshit 02:39

Get off my mullet 02:40

Stone washed, so raw 02:41

Moped like a bullet, oh, yee-ow 02:41

You can't catch me 02:43

A po-po can't reprimand me 02:44

I'm in a B-Boy stance, I'm not dancing 02:47

I got your girl on the back going tandem 02:49

Cause I'm too damn quick, I'm too damn slick 02:50

Whole downtown yelling out "Who that is?" 02:52

It's me, the M, the A-C, the K 02:55

Sounding like a French pimp from back in the day 02:57

I take her to Pend Oreille and I water skate 02:59

I mean, water ski, ollie, ollie, oxen free 03:01

I'm perusing down fourth and they watching me 03:03

I do a headstand, the eagle lands on my seat 03:05

Well hello, but baby, the kickstand ain't free 03:08

Now do you or do you not wanna ride with me? 03:10

I got one girl, I got two wheels 03:12

She a big girl, but ain't a big deal 03:14

I like a big girl, I like 'em sassy 03:16

Going down the backstreet listening to Blackstreet 03:19

Running around the whole town 03:21

Neighbors yelling at me like, "You need to slow down" 03:23

"Going thirty-eight, Dan, chill the fuck out 03:25

Mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down" 03:27

If I only had one helmet I would give it to you, give it to you 03:30

Cruising down Broadway, girl, what a wonderful view, wonderful view 03:34

There's layers to this shit player, tiramisu, tiramisu 03:38

Let my coat-tail drag but I ain't tearing my suit, tearing my suit 03:42

Downtown, downtown (Downtown) 03:47

Downtown, downtown 03:51

She has her arms around your waist 03:57

[English]

I went to the moped store, said "Fuck it"
Salesman's like "What up, what's your budget?"
And I'm like "Honestly, I don't know nothing about mopeds"
He said "I got the one for you, follow me"
Ooh, it's too real
Chromed out mirror, I don't need a windshield
Banana seat, a canopy on two wheels
Eight hundred cash, that's a hell of a deal
I'm headed...
Downtown, cruising through the alley
Tip-toeing in the street like ballet
Pulled up, moped to the valet
Whitewalls on the wheels like mayonnaise
Dope, my crew is ill, and all we need is two good wheels
Got gas in the tank, cash in the bank
And a bad little mama with her ass in my face
I'mma lick that, stick that, break her off, Kit-Kat
Snuck her in backstage, you don't need a wristband
Dope
Killing the game, 'bout to catch a body
Passed the Harley, Dukie on the Ducati
Timbaland, Khaled, Scott Storch, Birdman
Goddamn, man, everybody got Bugattis
But I'mma keep it hella 1987
Head into the dealership and drop a stack and cop a Kawasaki
I'm stunting on everybody, hella raw, pass the Wasabi
I'm so low that my scrotum's almost dragging up on the concrete
My seat is leather, alright, I'm lying, it's pleather
But girl, we could still ride together, oh
You don't need an Uber, you don't need a cab
Fuck a bus pass, you got a moped man
She got 1988 Mariah Carey hair
Very rare, mom jeans on her derriere
Throwing up the West Side as we tear in the air
Stop by Pike Place, throwing fish to a player
Downtown, downtown (Downtown)
Downtown, downtown (Downtown)
She has her arms around your waist
With a balance that could keep her safe
(Downtown)
Have you ever felt the warm embrace
(Downtown)
Of a leather seat between your legs
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)
(Hey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey-ey)

You don't want no beef, boy
Know I run the streets, boy
