Here’s a leak off of PackFM‘s latest release Featured Material Vol. 4 – “The Pick Me Up Song”. If you’ve ever been told “I no go to Brooklyn” on multiple occasions, this track is your late night anthem.
LYRICS:
It’s 2 AM and the rain’s coming down, and I’m beat – I just wanna go home/
I just missed the last bus, the train ain’t running now – so here we go down this lonely road/
That I’ve been down before, but here’s how it goes usually
I see an empty cab, he sees me, he’s off duty
Drives right past me, stop at the light/
Just to turn his medallion on and pick up the white couple
Let’s not be hasty and say he’s racist/
It’s late – and with my hoodie on, he can’t see faces/
His safety comes first and although it’s raining
I’ll just uncover my head, and brace for the same shit/
Now here comes another, I stick out my arm/
Oh shit! He’s slowing down, I put on the charm/
He rolls the window down, I smiled – he’s alarmed/
He rolls with window up – and just like that – he’s gone/
Now it’s 2:15, and the rain’s coming down, I’m exhausted – I wanna go home/
You see everything’s closed and there’s no one around, here I go on this lonely road/
Does anybody wanna help me get where I live/
It’s a five-minute ride and I’m right over the bridge/
You stop at the corner, I’ll hop in when you ain’t looking/
And I don’t wanna hear “NO, I DON’T GO TO BROOKLYN”
But I should’ve known better, cause that’s just what he said
And as black as I am – that’s when I turn red/
I ain’t say a word, he just froze up with fear
Well, if you ain’t gonna drive, then we’re gonna sit here/
Cause I’m not getting out, you can call the police/
He shut the ignition off and took out his keys/
He turned around and said “YOU PEOPLE GIVE TOO MUCH PROBLEMS”
I’m trying to give him money, he thinks I’m trying to rob him
You’re judging off a skin color and where I live,
But get offended if they call you a terrorist/
Well you aint Bin Laden, and my name ain’t Bishop
So do your job, start driving and don’t expect a tip
Cause it’s 2:45, and the rain’s coming down and I’m beat – I just wanna go home/
Oh shit, my phone battery’s running out – here I go down this lonely road.
