Lyrics E–40 – Tell Me When To Go
Text:
Hook x2
Tell me when to go… Tell me when to go…
Tell me when to go… Tell me when to go…
Go dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Verse 1: E-40
Ooh. Jesus Christ had dreads, so shake em
I ain’t got none, but I’m planning on growing some
Imagine all the Hebrews going dumb
Dancing on top of chariots and turning tight ones (eeerrrrr!)
Ooh, tell me when to go (dumb)
Talking on my Ghettro on the way to the store
… My 2nd or 3rd trip
Some Henny, some Swishers and some Listerine strips
Dr. Greenthumb lips, just to ease my thoughts
Not just the cops, but the homies you got to watch
The moon is full, look at the dark clouds
Sitting in my scraper, watching Oakland Gone Wild… Ta-dow
I don’t bump mainstream, I knock underground
All that other shit, sugar-coated and watered down
I’m from the Bay where we hyphy and go dumb
From the soil where them rappers be getting their lingo from
Hook x2
Tell me when to go… Tell me when to go…
Tell me when to go… Tell me when to go…
Go dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Verse 2: Keak Da Sneak
I’m off that 18 dummy juice
…. Yadamean, labeled the Black Zeus
King of the super dooper hyphy (hyphy, hyphy, hyphy, hyphy)
And your wife, she don’t like me (like me, like me, like me, like me)
Put me in the back wood, Swisher sweet bud, orange lace (Let’s go, it’s dope)
Bitches wish I wrote, I said they couldn’t be saved by John the Pope (John the Pope)
I slid past on the gas, bitches looking at me
It’s good, it’s good like the granddaddy
Cross game, you get flipped like a burger patty
Or zig-zagged… pass me a big old fatty
…. I drink white, with a snow bunny
Talking big shit in the scraper, going hella dummy
1800, Jose Cuervo
Yadada mean, yadada I’m saying though
Hook x2
Tell me when to go… Tell me when to go…
Tell me when to go… Tell me when to go…
Go dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
Outro: E-40

Hook x2
Tell me when to go… Tell me when to go…
Tell me when to go… Tell me when to go…
Go dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb
