Oh, Chuck, they out to get us, man Yo, we got to dust these boys off In this corner with the '98 Subject of suckers, object of hate Who's the one some think is great? I'm that one (son of a gun!) Drivin' by wavin' my fist Makin' 'em mad when I'm goin' like this Top gun, never on the run (They know not to come cause they all get some) Goin' quicker in the speedin' lane Jealous can't do it and it's causin' them pain Caught in my smoke, all they did was choke Look at my spokes, you know I'm no joke Out that window, middle finger for all Jealous at my ride, stereo and blackwalls Suckers they got the nerve and gall (To talk about the car when they're walkin' tall) Suckers to the side, I know you hate my '98 (You're gonna get yours!) Suckers to the side, I know you hate my '98 (You're gonna get yours!) Pullin' away every day Leavin' you in the dust so you know I get paid On the mile ego trip and 5-0 tailin' on my tip Watch me burn rubber, fall in my flame This episode is always the same Seein' no comp coming like I'm blind All left back trailin' my behind I go faster cops try to shoot me They'll get theirs when they try to get me I'll let it go, my turbo Run 'em in the river 'cause they're movin' too slow Laughing hard at their attempt So what if the judge charges me contempt? I'd rub my boomerang 'cause I'm feelin' proud And I wouldn't even hear 'em cause my radio's loud Suckers to the side, I know you hate my '98 (You're gonna get yours!) Suckers to the side, I know you hate my '98 (You're gonna get yours!)s Cruisin' down the boulevard I'm treated like some superstar You know the time so don't look hard (Get with it, the ultimate homeboy car!) All you suckers in the other ride Whenever I'm comin' get to my side My '98 is tough to chase If you're on my tail better watch your face Smoke is comin' when I burn Rubber when my wheels turn Tinted windows, so super bad Lookin' like the car the Green Hornet had It's the reason I'm ahead of the pack It's the reason I left them back It's the reason all the people say My '98 Olds blows 'em all away My '98 Oldsmobile's is My '98 Oldsmobile so My '98 Oldsmobile's is My '98 Oldsmobile's like ("Super sperm") Suckers to the side, I know you hate my '98 (You're gonna get yours!) Suckers to the side, I know you hate my '98 (You're gonna get yours!) Understand, I don't drive drunk My '98's fly, I don't drive no junk No cop got a right to call me a punk Take this ticket, go to hell and stick it Put me on a kick but line up, times up This government needs a tune up I don't even know what's happenin', what's up? Gun in my chest, I'm under arrest Sidewalk suckers wanted to spill me So I got my crew and posse Took the girls and got them to thrill me Stepped outside, got in my ride Drove 'em around and I looked around town Caught 'em out there cold, ran 'em over and down They didn't get me and that's the truth ('Cause my '98-O is bullet proof) My '98 Oldsmobile's so My '98 Oldsmobile is My '98 Oldsmobile's so My '98 Oldsmobile's like ("Super sperm")
