Cruisin'
Coolio - Gangstas Paradise Lyrics

I love it when we're cruisin' together
I enjoy spending time with you and driving around together

Baby get in we fixin' to cruise till we can't
Come on, join me because we're going to drive around for as long as we can

You got the drink I got the denk and we done stopped at the bank
You have the beverage and I have the marijuana, and we made a stop at the bank

Sunbeamin' this weekend heading down that beach way
Enjoying the sunny weather this weekend as we head towards the beach

Messin' with my girl's hair one of them games that we play
Having fun by playfully messing with my girlfriend's hair

Braids bouncin to the beat feel me coming down the street
My girlfriend's braided hair is bouncing to the rhythm as I approach

She gotta be a freak if she's sittin' next to me so
If she's sitting next to me, she must be open-minded and adventurous

Shine up your hoopty and fall in line
Polish and show off your old car and join the group

Bring your honey if she's fine and we gon have a good time
If your partner is attractive, bring them along, and we'll have a great time

To the outskirts of first buzzin off the erky jerks
We're driving to the outskirts while feeling the effects of the intoxicating substances

Swoopin while I puts in work now watch me skirt
Driving swiftly while I focus on handling the vehicle, observe my skillful maneuvers

I heard 'em callin' me but then I ball and see
People may criticize me, but once they see me succeed, they perceive my greatness

Cause if you're ballin' me you got your own set of keys
If you're in my league of success, you have your own possessions and independence

The breeze is hittin' don't think you'll catch me strippin'
The wind is blowing, but don't expect me to be unprepared

40 Thevz Wino and gat got that back when we're dippin
My friends and I carry protection and a bottle of alcohol when we're driving

To the west coast down south in your direction
We're heading towards the west coast and then towards the southern region where you are

Throwin up the hood cruisin' come on we jettin'
Representing our neighborhood while driving around, come on, let's go

Come on in my lap get in an' twist the cap
Come sit on my lap, open the bottle by twisting its cap

Hand him the jizz back clowin up the coast like that
Pass him the drink and let's drive along the coast confidently

Tangaray all nice in back seat pete
Having Tanqueray Gin comfortably in the backseat along with Pete

Just do a rollin' top down ready to hit the street
Let's lower the convertible roof and get ready to go out on the road

Shoulder to shoulder turn their heads cause it's a black thing
Side by side, people turn their heads because our unity represents our cultural identity

Sport in a 'vette brings me strapped won't be no jacket
Driving a Corvette, I carry a weapon and won't be requiring a jacket

Consider that chocolate, mixed with that tie
Think of me as a blend of African American and Native American heritage

Wind be on my neck the beach caress my thighs now I hope he's high
Feeling the wind against my neck as I enjoy the beach, and I hope my partner is also intoxicated

Ready to get my groove on so I'm playing teams
Prepared to enjoy myself, so I'm selecting songs to play

Know when he's feelin' me, and what those feelin's be
I can sense when my partner is attracted to me and understand their emotions

Kinda' flossy cause tossy we do it on seat tip
Feeling stylish and classy, we engage in intimate activities in the car

Snuggled up freaky dick give the drink a sip
Cuddled together engaging in sexual activities while taking a sip of the drink

Leaning on his chest I feel security
Resting against his chest, I feel safe and protected

Just my man and me against the world you understandin' me
It's just the two of us, facing the world together, do you comprehend?

Cruisin' till the sunsets yep we'll be headin out
Driving around until the sun sets, yes, we'll be leaving

Dippin' through the city me and my niggys what I'm talkin about
Gliding through the city with my close friends, that's what I'm referring to

Sunday afternoons in the tape deck
Listening to music on Sunday afternoons using the car's tape deck

My woman's on the right lookin bomb for this trek deck
My girlfriend is sitting on the right side, looking attractive for this car ride

Floatin' on the freeway at a cool 65
Driving smoothly on the freeway at a comfortable speed of 65 miles per hour

Malika rolls the top so's I can feel that rocky mountain high yeah
Malika opens the convertible roof so I can experience the exhilaration of driving in the mountains

Take the wheel while I shake off this hairbrush
You drive while I put away this hairbrush and prepare

Yep I'm down the bus like no one like what
Yes, I'm ready to join in, surprising everyone with my enthusiasm

Watchin' the sunset be the flyest with the top down
Enjoying the breathtaking sunset with the convertible roof down, feeling stylish

Park up at the spot I ain't gonna front I'm tryin to mess around
Parking at a particular location, I'm being honest that I'm looking for some fun

Your homies still around
Are your friends still present?

Yeah they busy though
Yes, they're occupied with other things

That's all I need to know roll up the windows and lock the door
That's the information I needed, now let's close the windows and lock the door

It's all that poppin on that cooze got me worked up
All the excitement and energy from the lively environment has excited me

Turn up the beat and bump in-between the seats some
Increase the volume of the music and feel the bass vibrating between the seats

Yeah that's how we do it on the western hemisphere
Yes, that's how we live life on this side of the world

All my homies be a man cause ain't no pretendin'
All my friends act mature and genuine, no pretending here

Cruisin' feel the wind blow my braids back
Driving and enjoying the wind blowing my braided hair backward

Trippin off into the night bumpin' to a fat track yeah
Venturing into the night while listening to an excellent song, feeling great

Cruisin' is made for love
Driving around is meant to be enjoyed in the company of a loved one

Cruisin' is made for us
Driving around together is a perfect activity for the two of us
