DJ Polo of course, drives a ride thatβs live
With a AMG kit, in his pockets a mitt
And if you try to steal his shit, by a pitch you get bit
But yo one day you will see me in a fly Lamborghini
On my way to the beach picking up girls in bikinis

And all the girlies jump right on it

Dope car

Yo I see cars driving by me looking milky and shiny
Tires made from Pirelli getting all of the heinies
Now a few of my friends they drive a Mercedes Benz
All the seats are stitched and hemmed, MCM and gold rims
The people are looking, all the ladies are hooking
All the cops get shooken, suckersβ girlfriends get tooken
Candy-apple Corvette, Benzy Boss in effect
And you know you get respect cause theyβre breaking their necks
To see your car
Yo, cars
The dope car
Dope cars
The song "Cars" by Kool G Rap & DJ Polo is a rap about the rappers' cars and the envy they elicit from others. In the first verse, DJ Polo mentions his new Alfa Romeo, while Kool G Rap talks about his desire to drive a convertible Porsche. They both indulge in discussing the features of their cars - Polo's AMG kit and G Rap's planned Lamborghini. The chorus emphasizes the importance of driving a cool car in hip-hop culture and how it can attract women and garner respect.
In the second verse, they continue to list the luxurious cars they and their friends drive, including a Candy-apple Corvette and a Mercedes Benz with MCM and gold rims. They note how these cars turn heads and intimidate the police. They end the song with another chorus that repeats the phrase "dope car, cars."
The song's lyrics depict the rappers' materialistic desires to own and flaunt their material possessions. It reflects a common stereotype in hip-hop culture that associates wealth with success, power, and respect. It also emphasizes how cars are symbolic of such wealth and status, especially for young black men.
