Pistol (A. Cunanan, Miami, Fl. 1996) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got my pistol in the car, uh-huh
I got my stereo in the car, uh-huh
I've got my room key in the car, uh-huh
Why don't you come to my room and clean my pistol, no duh?
I maximize my own liaisons
I'm going to take it 'til the taking comes on
[Verse 2]
I've got my cocaine in the glove box now
The sun roof is down, oh wow
I've got my room key in my pocket, and you know
I've got a pistol that I need to unload
I'm going to t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-take you on up, you say "what?"
I'm going to t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-take your shirt right on off
I'm going to zip-zip-zip-zip-zip-zip-zip-zip-zip your pants on down
I'm going to sip-sip-sip-sip-sip from my Royal, Royal, Royal Crown
[Chorus]
And we go woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
And we go woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
[Verse 3]
I got a backpack with some clothes that I could wear to work tomorrow, they won't know-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
That I was up all night not ready for the meeting, oh no! Oh-oh
Got a wallet in my backpack, and I think it's mine, but I don't care, you know, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Got my backpack with the money got myself a passport, I should probably go
[Chorus]
And we go woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
And we go woo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
[Guitar Solo]
