One Time's Got No Case

Lyrics

What you pullin' me over fo' mistuh offi-suh?
 I'll be askin' the questions Leroy
 My name ain't Leroy, man
 Heh, all right Jerome, outta the car
 Man, why I gotta be Jerome man?
 Why can't I be Tommy or Philbert or something?
 Just put your hands on the hood Muhammed
 It's the man that you love to hate
 Coming outta Washington state
 Cops don't like my profile
 'Cause Mix-A-Lot kicks much style
 So the man is on my trail
 He wanna take Mix to jail
 If he does, I'll make the bail
 'Cause I know a lot of rich females
 I'm shakin' 'em just like this
 Keepin' that Porsche in fifth
 King County cops don't quit
 Even when a young brothers legit
 So they follow me wherever I go
 I hear 'em on the radio
 With a scanner that I bought from the sto'
 'Cause a brother like Mix gotta know
 I'm checkin' them cops with radar
 They don't believe I'm a rap star
 That my brain is up to par
 An' I'm ready when they follow my car
 I know they wanna spray me with mace
 'Cause my trunk keeps pumpin' much bass
 But they best get outta my face
 'Cause one times got no case, give it to me
 One times got no case
 The police think I'm movin' them keys
 They trip 'cause I clock much D
 They pull a gat an' they yell out "Freeze"
 I'm whippin' out my I.D.
 My gat sits under my seat
 The cops throw me out in the street
 They found my gun like thieves
 Officer Friendly has got a new beat
 So I show him my gun permit
 I told him I roll legit
 Give me a test to see if I'm drinkin'
 They claim my breath was stinkin'
 They had me walk on the line
 I walked backwards stopped on a dime
 My female just reclines
 'Cause she knows I know the time
 I'm hip to the cop procedure
 They get ya everytime they see ya
 They stop ya, they cuff ya
 They roll ya an' they rough ya
 They ask what I do for a livin'
 Should this information be givin'?
 This is what keeps me driven
 Some cops want a brother in prison
 So I got me a few attorneys
 Just in case a cop wanna burn me
 They protect me from the state
 'Cause one time's got no case, break it on down
 One times got no case
 A cop asks me, "What's my name, and don't lie"
 And I'm askin' officer, "Why?
 Why ya wanna mess with a brother like Mix
 When you know I'm livin' legit?"
 The cop said, "Don't get smart
 I tear soul-brothers apart"
 I said, "Well take off your gun, if you wanna get done
 An' I'll show you that I ain't the one"
 The cop rolled up his fist
 Puts the handcuffs on my wrists
 Then he threw a straight jab and he missed
 A female cop pulls up and she's pissed
 But this cop had K-9
 A soul sister, yes, she's fine
 I said, "Won't ya help a brother outta bind?"
 But that badge was going to her mind
 So she stuck a billy club in my back
 She said, "Don't think because you're black
 That I won't beat you", crack, "Hit you with the gat"
 Her partner starts to laugh
 Ooh, hit 'em again, hit 'em again
 So they took me on down to the jail
 P.L.B. came to pay my bail
 Then we called Goldstein and Claire
 Them's my lawyers
 Walkin' up the stairs
 To the courtroom dressed in suits
 'Bout to give a couple cops the boot
 So the female cop takes the stand
 Took her oath with the wrong damn hand
 My lawyers ate her up like catfish
 The other cop pleads the fifth
 She lost her job
 I seen a few tears on her face
 Sorry baby, one time's got no case
 One time's got no case
 One time's got no case
 Yeah ya'll hate to see a brother get smart out here
 Don't ya?
 I fought with the brain and not the gat
 Peace
 I'm outta here
