A Tribe Called Quest - I Left My Wallet In El Segundo
my Mother Went Away For A Month-long Trip
her And Some Friends On An Ocean-liner Ship
she Made A Big Mistake By Leaving Me Home
i Had To Roam So I Picked Up The Phone
dialed Ali Up To See What Was Going Down
told Him I Pick Him Up So We Could Drive Around
took The Dodge Dart, A `74
my Mother Left A Yard But I Needed One More
shaheed Had Me Covered With A Hundred Greenbacks
so We Left Brooklyn And We Made Big Tracks
drove Down The Belt, Got On The Conduit
came To A Toll, We Paid And Went Through It
had No Destination, We Was On A Quest
ali Laid In The Back So He Could Get Rest
drove Down The Road For Two-days-and-a-half
the Sun Had Just Risen On A Dusty Path
just Then A Figure Had Caught My Eye
a Man With A Sombrero Who Was Four Feet High
i Pulled Over To Ask Were We Was At
his Index Finger He Tipped Up His Hat
"el Segundo," He Said, "my Name Is Pedro
if You Need Directions, I`ll Tell You Pronto"
needed Civilization, Some Sort Of Reservation
he Said A Mile South, There`s A Fast Food Station
thanks, Senor, As I Start Up The Motor
ali Said, "damn, Tip, Why You Drive So Far For?"
(well Describe To Me What The Wallet Looks Like)
anyway A Gas Station We Passed
we Got Gas And Went On To Get Grub
it Was A Nice Little Pub In The Middle Of Nowhere
anywhere Would Have Been Better
i Ordered Enchiladas And I Ate `em
ali Had The Fruit Punch
when We Finished We Thought For Ways To Get Back
i Had A Hunch
ali Said, "pay For Lunch"
so I Did It
pulled Out The Wallet And I Saw This Wicked Beautiful Lady
she Was A Waitress There
put The Wallet Down And Stared And Stared
to Put Me Back Into Reality, Here`s Shaheed:
"yo, Tip, Man, You Got What You Need?"
i Checked For Keys And Started To Step
what Do You Know, My Wallet I Forget
yo, It Was A Brown Wallet, It Had Props Numbers
had My Jimmy Hats I Got To Get It Man
lord, Have Mercy
the Heat Got Hotter, Ali Stars To Curse Me
i Fell Bad But He Makes Me Feel Badder
chit-chit-chatter, Car Stars To Scatter
breaking On Out, We Was Northeast Bound
jettin` On Down At The Seepd Of Sound
three Days Coming And Three More Going
we Get Back And There Was No Slack
490 Madison, We`re Here, Sha
he Said, "all Right, Tip, See You Tomorrow"
thinking About The Past Week, The Last Week
hands Go In My Pocket, I Can`t Speak
hopped In The Car And Torpe`ed To The Shack
of Shaheed, "we Gotta Go Back" When He Said
"why?" I Said, "we Gotta Go
`cause I Left My Wallet In El Segundo"
yeah, I Left My Wallet In El Segundo
left My Wallet In El Segundo
left My Wallet In El Segundo
i Gotta Get, I Got-got Ta Get It
