Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
I gotta get it, I got-got ta get it | |
I left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
I gotta get it, I got-got ta get it | |
My mother went away for a month-long trip | |
Her and some friends on an ocean-liner ship | |
She made a big mistake by leaving me home | |
I had to roam so I picked up the phone | |
Dialed Ali up to see what was going down | |
Told him I pick him up so we could drive around | |
Took the Dodge Dart, a '74 | |
My mother left a yard but I needed one more | |
Shaheed had me covered with a hundred greenbacks | |
So we left Brooklyn and we made big tracks | |
Drove down the Belt, got on the Conduit | |
Came to a toll, we paid and went through it | |
Had no destination, we was on a quest | |
Ali laid in the back so he can get rest | |
Drove down the road for two days and a half | |
The sun had just risen on a dusty path | |
Just then a figure had caught my eye | |
A man with a sombrero who was four feet high | |
I pulled over to ask, were we was at | |
His index finger he tipped up his hat | |
"El Segundo," he said, "my name is Pedro | |
If you need directions, I'll tell you pronto" | |
Needed civilization, some sort of reservation | |
He said a mile south, there's a fast food station | |
Thanks, senor, as I start up the motor | |
Ali said, "Damn, Tip, what you drive so far for?" | |
(Well describe to me what the wallet looks like) | |
Anyway a gas station we passed | |
We got gas and went on to get grub | |
It was a nice little pub in the middle of nowhere | |
Anywhere would have been better | |
I ordered enchiladas and I ate 'em | |
Ali had the fruit punch | |
When we finished we thought for ways to get back | |
I had a hunch | |
Ali said, "Pay for lunch", so I did it | |
Pulled out the wallet and I saw this wicked | |
Beautiful lady she was a waitress there | |
Put the wallet down and stared and stared | |
To put me back into reality, here's Shaheed: | |
"Yo, Tip, man, you got what you need?" | |
I checked for keys and started to step | |
But, what do you know, my wallet I forget | |
Yo, it was a brown wallet, it had props numbers | |
Had my jimmy hats I got to get it man | |
Lord, have mercy | |
The heat got hotter, Ali starts to curse me | |
I feel bad but he makes me feel badder | |
Chit-chit-chatter, car stars to scatter | |
Breaking on out, we was Northeast bound | |
Jettin' on down at the speed of sound | |
Three days coming and three more going | |
We get back and there was no slack | |
490 Madison, we're here, Sha | |
He said, "All right, Tip, see you tomorrow" | |
Thinking about the past week, the last week | |
Hands go in my pocket, I can't speak | |
Hopped in the car and torpe'ed to the shack | |
Of Shaheed, "We gotta go back" | |
When he said "Why?" I said, "We gotta go | |
'Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo" | |
Yeah, I left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
I gotta get it, I got-got ta get it | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Left my wallet in El Segundo | |
Come on, let's go... | |
Come on, let's go... | |
Come on, let's go... |
