Lyrics
Crusin' 'round town in a beat up Chevrolet
Too high, too hot, too tired to know what to do today
Just another dumb punk
With a turntable and a couple of grooves
Not really carin' how or who he moves
Some fat cat,
With a shinney gold smile
Promised to take me on a trip
Across the miricale mile
(chorus)
The harder they come, the faster they fall away
You were king for a day
They made me the man, the beautiful antiquity
But the suits uptown, well they saw my saleability
Too make a long story short,
I got all I dreamed about
The dough, the 'Ho, the vintage Dina Flo
Was even ringside when Tyson got knocked out
(chorus)
Still crusin' 'round town in my beat up Chevrolet
Stlill too high to know what to do today
Still another dumb punk with a turntable and a couple of grooves
But today I fade away like yesterday's news
(chorus)
