Let Me Out
Afroman Lyrics

I don't wanna sell yay
I have no desire to sell drugs

Get my door kicked in by the kkk
I don't want to risk my safety and have my door broken down by the KKK

Shoulda said the police
I should have mentioned the police instead

Lookin for the quarter piece inside my caprice
They're searching for the drugs hidden in my car

from the tracks of the ghetto
I'm trying to escape the struggles and challenges of growing up in a poor neighborhood

I try to escape
I attempt to break free from my current situation

Ya caught my music
You stumbled upon my music

On a CD or rap tape
Either on a CD or cassette tape

I make it then take it
I create my music and then distribute it

To the mom and papa store
To the local independent record store

For a proper cash flo'
To earn a decent amount of money

don't want no more rappers on consignment
I don't want to be dependent on other rappers' success

Find another alignment
Discover a different way to flourish

Come back another climate
Return in a different environment or situation

People don't even know who you is
People are unaware of your identity

You need a name in the music biz
To succeed, you require a recognizable name in the music industry

your album, for one, has no promotion
Your album lacks proper marketing and advertising

Your elbows and kneecaps have no lotion
You have neglected basic self-care, indicating a lack of success

Your ashy, your music is trashy
Your appearance and music are unrefined and lack quality

Outkast, inside they class me
I am viewed as unconventional within the music industry, similar to Outkast

Out the door is where they catch me
They catch me as I try to leave

(WHERE?)
(WHERE?)

Straight into the street
Directly onto the street

(WHERE YOU GOIN?)
(WHERE ARE YOU GOING?)

Now I'm on my way to swap meet
I'm heading to the swap meet (flea market)

(SAY WHAT?)
(EXPRESSION OF SURPRISE)

Tryn to make a mil without a record deal
Trying to make a million dollars without signing a record deal

Selling tapes off the back of my Coupe de ville (Bucka!)
Selling my music tapes from the trunk of my fancy car

Hustlin on the street is hard
It's difficult to make a living through street hustling

In a fight with the white security guard
Engaging in a conflict with a white security guard

Talkin bout 'no solicitin, no publicitin'
The security guard is telling me to stop promoting and soliciting

I try to talk to him but nope he not listenin
I attempt to communicate with him, but he refuses to listen

Punk ass, flunk ass, can't slam dunk ass
He is a weak and incompetent person who can't even dunk a basketball

Skunk ass, monk ass, sufferin suckatash!
He smells bad and is foolish, causing me frustration

Now I'm seein a black guard workin for a Korean
Now I notice a black security guard working for a Korean business owner

Tellin me I can't be in the places that I be in
He is forbidding me from being in certain places

You can spend your money here
You are allowed to spend your money at this establishment

You can't make no money here
However, you won't be able to make any money here

You better get outta here ya here here
You should leave, do you understand?

Did I make myself clear?
Do you understand what I just said?

I go and drink a beer
I go and have a beer

Til I'm pissy in my belly
Until I'm intoxicated

Big as missy elliot (EEEEEE!)
As big as Missy Elliott, expressing the level of my drunkenness

I'm so depressed plus overstressed
I am feeling extremely down and overwhelmed

Wanna rap so hard I'm obsessed
I have an intense desire to rap with great dedication

Sometimes I wanna cock my heat
At times, I want to carry and display my gun

Make them punks play my song on the beat (BUCKA!!!!)
Make those individuals who disregard me listen to my song and recognize my talent

let me out, let me out
Allow me to express myself and show the world who I truly am

Let me show the whole world what I'm all about
Give me the opportunity to demonstrate my true abilities to everyone

Let me rap til the party people scream n shout
Allow me to rap until the crowd becomes ecstatic and vocal

Let me take contol of my destiny
Grant me the ability to determine and shape my own future

depressed, determined
Feeling down, yet still motivated

Smokin, shermann
Engaging in smoking marijuana

Black, german
Referring to having African heritage and being proud of it

Monster, herman
Feeling like a powerful force and individual

Sellin, crack
Involved in drug dealing

Money, stacked
Earning and accumulating a significant amount of money

Down for a murder, black
Willing to commit murder, and being African American

Like roberta flack
Similar to the singer Roberta Flack, showcasing my musical talent

Get dressed up, get my tapes pressed up
Getting ready and preparing my music tapes for distribution

'cause the music industry is messed up, baby!
Due to the corruption and challenges in the music industry

I throw a pity party as I sip bacardi
Feeling sorry for myself while drinking Bacardi

Sell on! rap tapes, I don't need nobody
Continuing to sell my rap tapes without relying on anyone

Ima beethoven givin, colt 45 sippin
I am a talented musician, like Beethoven, and I enjoy drinking Colt 45

Its the year 2000 and my gerri curl still drippin
Even in 2000, I still have a distinctive hairstyle

It might sound strange in my rhyme
My lyrics may seem unconventional or unusual

But I'm from the west coast
I originate from the west coast of the United States

I can't change with the hands of time
I am unable to alter who I am, regardless of how time progresses

What I am is what I am
I am content with being myself

If you don't like what I am I don't give a damn
I don't care if you don't approve of who I am, it doesn't concern me

Black pecker's my title, john king is my idol
I embrace my African American heritage, while also idolizing John King

I'm havin thoughts that's suicidal, young rival
I am experiencing thoughts of suicide, as I struggle with competition

I don't care about fashion, just cadillac mashin
I have no interest in fashion, only in driving a Cadillac

Bags to put my grass in, bank to put my cash in
Having bags for my marijuana and a bank to deposit my money

I don't wear FUBU like you do 'cause FUBU is booboo
I don't wear FUBU clothing like others because I find it to be of poor quality

I pull my gat and make you shit boo boo sit
I draw my gun and make you defecate due to fear

You talk too much shit, that's why you got hit
Your excessive trash-talking led to you getting attacked

Walkin home with your gums split
You're leaving with a bleeding mouth after our confrontation

While I sit, sell yay, eryday (BUCKA!)
Meanwhile, I sit and continue to sell drugs every day

Bumpin N.W.A. (BUCK-BUCKA-BUCKA!)
Listening to and enjoying music by N.W.A.

Cruisin down the street in my 6 A---FRO
Driving down the street in my 1960s Cadillac Coupe de Ville with an afro hairstyle

Punk niggas get GA-FFO, bitch
Weak individuals, especially those who disrespect me, should go away immediately

I wanna kill every cop I meet
I have a strong desire to harm any police officer I encounter

I wanna burn down this house that swapped me
I want to destroy the establishment that mistreated and traded me

I'm talkin smack but you ain't hearin
I'm talking derogatory language, but you refuse to listen

Get your gat, I gotta start racketeerin, plus clearin
Retrieve your gun, as I need to engage in organized crime and eliminate obstacles

All the koreans and all the europeans
My discontent extends to both Koreans and Europeans

The ones makin money off of black human beings
Those who profit from the exploitation of black individuals

OH! give it up, give it up
I demand that you surrender or give up your profits

Its time for the black folks to live it up
It is time for black people to enjoy their lives and have prosperity

A-ya-hey! burn it down, burn it down
Expressing the desire to destroy or dismantle the system of oppression

Run the white cops outta town, motherfucker
Expelling white police officers from the town

So tell andy griffith that his punk ass be
Inform Andy Griffith, a symbolic representation of law enforcement, that he is a coward

Runs from the black vigilante
Flees from the actions of a black vigilante

It can't be,
This situation cannot be accepted

A dictatorship, ran by the klu klux klan
A system of oppressive control led by the KKK

Feel the wrath of the afroman
Experience the anger and power of Afroman

Let me show these motherfuckers what I'm all about
Allow me to demonstrate to these individuals my true nature and abilities

Fuck the sheriff in the ass til he scream and shout
I have contempt for the sheriff and desire to humiliate him

Let me take control of my destiny
Give me the power to shape and determine my own future

I CAN DO IT, I CAN MAKE IT
I have the ability and determination to achieve success

If you don't give it to me baby, ima take it
If I'm not given opportunities, I will seize them on my own

Fuck the music industry, fuck the music biz
I have anger and resentment towards the corrupt music industry and business

I make my own rap tape and tell it like it is
I create my own music and deliver it in a straightforward manner

Revolution, revolution
Calling for a revolution and significant change

That's the solution
That is the answer to our problems

I made the rap tape, I made the CD
I independently produced and released my own rap tape and CD

Fuck the corporate world, GIVE THE MONEY TO ME!
Rejecting the corporate world and demanding financial support for my work

BITCH!
An aggressive declaration to emphasize my point

ladadadadadadadadada
Vocalized sounds, conveying frustration and annoyance

Nobody understand the Afroman
No one truly comprehends who Afroman is

Ladadadadadadadadada
Vocalized sounds, expressing frustration and annoyance

Fuck the police and the ku klux klan
I have no regard for the police or the KKK

Ladadadadadadadadada
Vocalized sounds, conveying frustration and annoyance

Ima hungry hustla, east side young busta
I am a determined and ambitious individual from the east side, ready to succeed
