Used Cars

[Verse 1]
My little sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone
My ma's in the backseat, sittin' all alone
As my pa steers her slow out of the lot
For a test drive down Michigan Avenue

[Verse 2]
Now, my ma, she fingers her wedding band
Watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands
He's tellin' us all 'bout the break he'd give us if he could, but he just can't
Well, if I could, I swear I know just what I'd do

[Chorus 1]
Now mister, the day the lottery I win
I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again

[Verse 3]
Now the neighbors come from near and far
As we pull up in our brand new used car
I wish he'd just hit the gas and let out a cry
And tell 'em all they can kiss our asses goodbye

[Verse 4]
My dad, he sweats the same job from mornin' to mornin'
Me, I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born
Up the block, I can hear my little sister in the front seat blowin' that horn
The sounds echoin' all down Michigan Avenue

[Chorus 2]
Now mister, the day my number comes in
I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again
