The Coupe

Skyscrapers

Summertime, California and I'm hittin' the road
Haven't picked a destination but I'm fixin' to go
Most attracted to the highway on the Pacific coast
And it's a perfect day for zippin' fast and whippin' it slow
So I copped a quick rental, gave my trusted a rest
My first time in the drop and I was lovin' it, yes
A convertible is something I'd been wanting to test
But really, pa, I got the car so I could front, I confess
Fresh dressed lookin' like the winning ticket
My phone start flickerin' cuz shorty wanna kick it
So I put a few liters in the two seater
My honey dip on my side'll make the cruise sweeter
I arrive swiftly, she ready to ride wit' me
We beach bound, I pop my collar like I'm hidin' hickies
Her outfit was made for chillin' in the sun
So before I get the gas, I put the ceiling in the trunk
And then I

Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze

Heard two 2 Pac songs, a Biggie then a Ice Cube
Seventy-five degrees, no clouds, I'm in a bright mood
Shades wit' the beta blockers so I got a clear view
Speedin' through the lanes with fast cars in my rear view
Waze redirectin' so we reach the beach sooner
Park in the lot, then hit the corner store, I got my cooler
My towel, my swim trunks, my girlfriend, the sunshine
The boardwalk, the seashore, it's gonna be a fun time
We lay out a blanket, bottle of wine and fresh fruit
I'm feelin' somethin' special 'bout this lady that I'm next to
The conversation in the car caressed the stars, explored the earth
And how our birth has purpose and we need to live to give it worth
In not so many words but prob'ly more and more insightful
Her thoughts were delightful and her physical's an eyeful
Our melanin is active and we 'bout ready for dinner
The Beamer keys whisper, "yo, I think you found a winner," then I

Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze

The dinner was great, I finished my plate
Big moon in the sky, sly grin on her face
A beautiful day slipped into a gorgeous night
We sorta liked each other before, now it's fortified
Hand-in-hand we start to discuss current events
Pigs murderin' kids and how we been hurt ever since
The environment of the country's disturbingly tense
500 Years of white power at a fervorish pitch
A mix of frustration and hope we both struggle wit'
Then she said, family is superior to government
Wasn't expectin' to go this far but now we touchin' this
Unpredictable region of connection and we lovin' it
We scrutinized the sky and created new constellations
Recapitulating our time with careful observation
The wind started to feel cool so I gave her my jacket
The heated seats came in handy on our way back when I

Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
Put her in the coupe so she could feel the nice breeze
