Talib Kweli, Madlib, Consequence - Engine Running lyrics

Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
And don't make a move
Unless the one-time's comin'
And just wait outside and keep
The engine runnin man'
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
And don't make a move
Unless the one-time's comin'
And just wait outside and
Keep the engine runnin', runnin'

Man, my pops won't let me drive until
The law says that I'm able
But since he fell asleep and left
His keys up on the table
I figured I'd be able to
Snatch em without permission
And he be out cold and never
Find out they was missin
So I did just that and got
The car up out the driveway
Then hit up Pat and we
Was headed toward highway
But made one stop to get
Some Newports and Coronas
Before we checked these chicks that we
Had New out and Coroner
But at the turn of corner in
This bad part of town
We see this nigga Rell and
He's flaggin us down
Then he walked up on the car
Asked me and Pat "What's poppin?"
Then jumped in the backseat before I
Got the chance to lock it
Asked me if could we drop him
Even though we going elsewhere
But what poked from his shirt gave
Me concerns for my welfare
Cause even though his belt's there
The tech's on his waist
And he made us stop the
Car at the check-cashing place
Then threw a mask on his face like MF Doom
Cause there's enough cash in the safe
To buy a new Lex soon
And his tone was rather smooth when he said
"Don't make a muscle move"
Cause 'til I get inside the only thing
I wanting y'all chumps to do is

Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
And don't make a move
Unless the one-time's comin'
And just wait outside and keep
The engine runnin' man
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
And don't make a move
Unless the one-time's comin'
And just wait outside and
Keep the engine runnin', runnin'

Top shotters got the block
Hotter than Jamaican sun
You taste it on your tongue
The shots is stronger than Jamaican rum
Wray & Nephew to Appleton, the big ratchets
They packin em
They argue when they leavin they over
Cause they'll be back again
Trapped with the clackers
Tonight is blacker than the pistol grip
They let off over little shit and
Chill for a little bit
Hop in my hoopty, gotta stop for a Lucy
Butter crunch and the dutch, grab the clutch
Bump a juicy
The nigga Biggie can move me 'cause
The shit be like a movie
Plus I live in Brooklyn like Theo
Denise and Rudy
Plus Sandra and Vanessa left my
Cash on the dresser
Cause the ATM machine at the
Check cashing next to
Da bodega, I pulled up in the back
A Acura runnin the cats in the car looked
Like disaster was comin
Niggas buggin thinkin somethin was wrong
I played the corner
I always keep the gat like DMX in Arizona
In the corner of my cornea
I see the one time California
Slang for cops and they comin by cruisin
The niggas in the legend peeled out
The people in the check-cashing
Spot spilled out on the street
Their faces looking like a
Child has been abused
Here come this nigga with a
Gun lookin wild and confused
Put it together, I'm like "These niggas"
The cop shot me in the back and
Then I heard him say, "Freeze, nigga"

Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
And don't make a move
Unless the one-time's comin'
And just wait outside and keep
The engine runnin' man
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
Just wait outside and keep the engine runnin'
And don't make a move
Unless the one-time's comin'
And just wait outside and
Keep the engine runnin', runnin'
