Ford Edsel

This is how we gon' do it I'm sittin' in my Ford Edsel Gettin' with my girl Ethel Havin' visions in my thoughts special We gon' go get us a Coca Cola With that soda pop and pop a soda 'til the coppers stop and pull us over Everyday they try to meet they quota Many they gotta go and mix me up When there's only water in my Dixie cup I remember that my mama used to say Boy don't let that liquor go and get me buck Every now and then I need a sip of [?] You would too this happened to you All because I got that colored skin Mean to tell me that I ain't that cool? This America, ain't no peace Ain't no justice, same old grief Tried to heed Dr. Martin King But it's hard when you gettin' beat This the cry of a soul brotha Slow dance to this soul number Effingham with a second jam 45 for the whole summer Said I'm ridin' in my Ford Edsel Ridin' in my Ford Edsel I don't need nothin' special Just to ride in my Ford Edsel Said I'm ridin' in my Ford Edsel Ridin' in my Ford Edsel I don't need nothin' special Just ridin' in my Ford Edsel Motown ain't got real answers All they do is tell you dance 'cause Ain't no message in none of they jams but Jimmy Lee I reveal the real Put my heart on this reel to reel Radio never play the truth In my songs I am here to heal I'm protected by God's angels Through the power of the triangle Can't tell this to a square though 'cause squares don't have the right angle Dennis told me go and be a menace Whip they rawhide like Clint did And I don't even need a weapon Just as long as I got a sentence I'm a giant and I ain't a pygmy So defiant don't try and convince me What I'm doin' is humorous Maybe you should just go listen to Pigmeat Slave mind got us still eatin' cornbread and that pig feet Wonder why we be lookin' sickly Think I'm lying go and read your history Said I'm ridin' in my Ford Edsel Ridin' in my Ford Edsel I don't need nothin' special Just to ride in my Ford Edsel Said I'm ridin' in my Ford Edsel Ridin' in my Ford Edsel I don't need nothin' special Just to ride in my Ford Now take a ride in my Ford Edsel Ride in my Ford Edsel I don't need nothin' special Just to ride in my Ford Edsel Said ride in my Ford Edsel Ride in my Ford Edsel I don't need nothin' special Just to ride in my Ford Edsel
