Lyrics:

We used to only roll with the 91/
High Octane in the blazing sun/
Now it cost so much/
That we can't buy lunch/
So we gon' have to ride with the eighty-sevuhn/

It's highway robbery at the gas station/
Three bucks a gallon---financial castration/
(Yo) you don't need spinners to pimp your ride/
All you got to do is have fuel inside/

(Ch-check it) Barrel of Monkeys, Barrel of Laughs/
I'll trade my Cracker Barrel for a Barrel of Gas/
You gotta be Bill Gates just to pay with cash/
Cuz' it takes ten dolla' just to fill this glass/

When you're buying hydrocarbons, hide yo carbons/
I had to pawn dem thangs jutta pay the charges/
I got a second mortgage; I sold this organ/
I gotta run my truck on Captain Morgan/

Yo, we gettin' humped
Gouged at the pump
The CEO of Amoco is drilling on my rump

We used to only roll with the 91
High Octane in the blazing sun
Now it cost so much
That we can't buy lunch
So we gon' have to ride with the eighty-sevuhn

Do the gas can shuffle!

Spank ya tank/ and turn the key / Pop ya trunk / and touch your knee

Now trash your cash / and shake your feet / replace the nozz' / press 'no receipt'

I love Halle Berry; not Halliburton
This ish ain't workin; my pockets is hurtin/
Walk to work everyday with Dr. Scholl's/
I ride HOV more than Beyonce Knowles/

My thesis is/
We need more Priuses/
Gotta fight off the gas price increaseses

The standard's gotta change in the oil game/
But not the climate; keep that the same/
I used to only roll with high-grade silver'/
It's just one more buck for them to pilfer/

Vitamins comestible, energies renewabo'/
straight solar and Flintstones chewabo's/
carpool with my cousin; we drivin' for real/
Load 'em up, roll out (echo): in tha Pow-Pow-Power Wheel/

Yo, We gettin' humped
Gouged at the pump
The CEO of Amoco is drilling on my rump

We used to only roll with the 91
High Octane in the blazing sun
Now it cost so much
That we can't buy lunch
So we gon' have to ride with the eighty-sevuhn
