Nightrunners
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Spoken sample:] Trip de rasclat, eh!
[Double K:]
Thought in a rearview, she's gettin' further
Huh, yo, I wish I had the burner
'Cause I would take out the stop sign
Every hour's another line, I'm goin' faster
Baptize the pastor, musical dope water
Word to the father, switch lanes in the rain
Maintain the rock, don't stop the rock
Treat 'em like a jabroni, exposing the phonies
The oil slick, BOOM! The Spy Hunter
Olympic run 'em, music the fuel, gas pedal the tool
To set out, stomp out, competition from Compton
It was written, now listen, two brothers on a mission
Destination to the future, pass the gas station
Roach out the window, no toke, no fakin' it to makin' it
We zoom, the fast gunners, call us the Nightrunners, oh!
[Spoken sample:] Trip de rasclat, eh!
[Spoken sample:] The people, the people...
(repeated)
[Spoken sample, slowed down:] They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God.
[Thes One:]
When you on the road, nighttime
Arc-sodium orange lights to guide me
When you truck your load, nighttime
Lookin' out, hoping siren lights don't find me
City-to-city, seven hundred miles to go
It'd be a pity if, for reasons beyond my control
Can't stop, whole life is up in my rearview
Damn cops, damn fans, damn family, damn crew
I'm an apple tryin' to roll far
From these damn trees that made me
Eighty-five in the rental, I'm pushin' it so hard
Out-of-state plates that probably will betray me
Doesn't matter what I'm carryin' or what I am not
Some people get pulled over, some people get shot
I turn up the music, burn up the pot, drop the pedal
Ninety, fast lane, floatin' in metal, but yo
Lights reflectin' off the windows
Up ahead, the overpass is just a dim glow
I focus on my music and my mind
I have to choose one and let the other fall behind
Slow down, and stop speedin' and keep weavin'
In and out of traffic, believin' that I can get away
I'm just another Nightrunner on the highway
I'm just another Nightrunner on the highway
[Spoken sample:] Trip de rasclat, eh!
[Spoken sample:] The people, the people...
(repeated)
[Spoken sample:] ...and then, when your car's on "E", I know you want to drive past that gas station, but that gas station got you. You got to pull into that fuel station. Why? 'Cause it has something you need!
[Man #1:] Reefer... and you don't want no part of this shit.
[Man #2:] You're smokin' reefer?
[Man #1:] Yeah, of course we are, can't you smell it?
[Spoken sample:] Oh, y'all a couple Cheech and Chongs, huh? Well, don't get up. I got it.
([Spoken sample:] Two people.)
[Sung sample:] Here comes a very big bowl ([Double K:] Well, let's smoke it!)
That's a very big buy, it's here: new Parkay Spread (Oh, nice!) - It's free!
Here comes a very big bowl (Wow!)
That's a very big buy, it's here: new Parkay Spread - It's free!
Here comes a very big bowl... very big bowl... very big bowl... very big bowl...
