Turning Lane Lyrics


Who? Mike Jones! Who? Mike Jones! Who? Mike Jones!
2 8 1, 3 3 oh, eight zero zero fo' baby, geah!I'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Piece and chain shinin' in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
TV screens rain in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I'm gettin' brain from yo' dame in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
My candy paint leavin' stains in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Them cats a muggin' better chill in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I got my hand on the steel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI got that candy paint drippin', dabbers spinnin', in the turnin' lane
Diamonds shinin', fifth wheel reclinin', in the turnin' lane
Screens fall, 24's crawl, in the turnin' lane
You know me, I ain't trippin' 'bout the laws, in the turnin' laneMe and Mellow pull up real slow, to the turnin' lane
Whip lookin' like it's in a car show, in the turnin' lane
My neck wrist and fist filled with snow, in the turnin' lane
Call me conceited, 'cause I jam my own clothes, in the turnin' laneWhile I'm waitin' I blow green and sip lean, in the turnin' lane
Seems like this light ain't gon' never turn green, in the turnin' lane
But I ain't rushin' because I got time, try to keep up behind
And I'ma hit ya with that nine, in the turnin' lanePiece and chain icy rang showin', in the turnin' lane
Show my grills and diamonds start glowin', in the turnin' lane

I'm jammin' screw music while I'm waitin', in the turnin' lane
"Who is Mike Jones?" anticipated, in the turnin' laneI'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Piece and chain shinin' in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
TV screens rain in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I'm gettin' brain from yo' dame in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
My candy paint leavin' stains in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Them cats a muggin' better chill in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I got my hand on the steel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI'll leave some cats aside quick, in the turnin' lane
Them boys really think they're slick, in the turnin' lane
But if they even try trippin', in the turnin' lane
I'ma have to empty out my clip, in the turnin' laneI keep my eyes wide open, in the turnin' lane
Me and my infrared dot scopin' in the turnin'lane, in the turnin' lane
Haters hate to congratulate, mad at me, 'cause I'm lookin' great
Don't wanna grind just wanna hate, you crummy and I'll run yo plateI'm Mike Jones, who? Mike Jones, From the Dirty South
They say my grill clean so you know I ain't got no dirty mouth
2 8 1, 3 3 oh, eight zero zero fo'
Hit Mike Jones up on the low, 'cause Mikes Jones about to blow2 8 1, 3 3 oh, eight zero zero fo'
Hit Mike Jones up on the low, 'cause Mikes Jones about to blow
2 8 1, 3 3 oh, eight zero zero fo'
Hit Mike Jones up on the low, 'cause Mikes Jones about to blowI'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Piece and chain shinin' in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
TV screens rain in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I'm gettin' brain from yo' dame in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
My candy paint leavin' stains in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Them cats a muggin' better chill in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I got my hand on the steel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI ride on the swang, I grip on woodgrain
I sip on purple drink Rover Range in the turnin' lane
Escalade ESV's in my drop I watch DVD's
Now I'm hot hoes peepin' me spittin' game
And come home with me, in the turnin' laneBut befo' all this fame came, I sold cocaine to maintain
Day to day grind to stackin' change, I did it to have thangs
Now I'm in it to win it drop the top 24 spinnin'
I got diamonds in my grill
You can't tell when I'm grinnin', in the turnin' laneBefo' I got on a major, I was underground stackin' that paper
Career pimps players and hustlers don't mess with them haters
My album, "Who is Mike Jones" in ya sto'
My album, "Who is Mike Jones" in ya sto''Cause, I'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Piece and chain shinin' in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
TV screens rain in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I'm gettin' brain from yo' dame in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
My candy paint leavin' stains in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Them cats a muggin' better chill in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I got my hand on the steel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Piece and chain shinin' in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
TV screens rain in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I'm gettin' brain from yo' dame in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' laneI'm holdin' wood wheel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
My candy paint leavin' stains in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
Them cats a muggin' better chill in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane
I got my hand on the steel in the turnin' lane, in the turnin' lane

At least three artists share this name:

1) A southern rap artist from the northside of Houston, TX, born January 6, 1981.

Mike Jones has become well-known for his unique repetition of his own name throughout his songs. Many of his songs contain the phrases "Who is Mike Jones?" or "Mike Jones!" His major promotional gimmick is to sell and hand out shirts with his cell phone number on them (athletic department-style shirts reading "Property of Mike Jones"), as well as shouting out the number throughout his mixtapes and albums, encouraging fans to call him on his Motorola phone.

Jones is known for recording in the "chopped & screwed" style popularized by DJ Screw, also of Houston. The slowed-down audio aesthetic supposedly mimics the effect of "sippin' sizzurp," that is, cough syrup containing codeine. Most followers of the chopped & screwed style claim that it has outgrown its drug-related roots. Jones' trademark technique is to take a line from one of his songs and use it as a chorus in another, or sometimes even in the same song, screwing, chopping and repeating it (for example, the chorus to "Back Then" is sampled from the track "Still Tippin").

Jones has used repetition of certain words and phrases extensively in his songs. An example of this can be found in songs such as Back Then when he constantly repeats "Mike Jones" and "Who is Mike Jones." As a result, he has come under intense scrutiny or criticism from fellow rappers in his native Houston such as rappers Chamillionaire and Lil' Flip who have accused Mike Jones of copying their slang or criticized his aforementioned rapping style.

2) Solo pianist.

3) An experimental tape artist from Cardiff, Wales.

Mike Jones ran the CTOANR cassette tape label in the early eighties which featured the likes of Artists such as The Stripey Zebras's, Instant Automatons and other independent artists. Mike was also a recording artist and played in The Chromosomes, Effigies (UK) and released solo work.

Recordings from Mike and The Chromosomes were released in 2008 by the American Label Hyped2Death. The album Messthetics: Greatest Hiss features "Reckless Policies" from Mikes 1981 solo Album "Pretty Flowers", "Hi Fi Know How" by The Chromosomes plus a Cardiff based radio competition where his band finished third (out of three).

Since 1985 Mike has played in the punk/techno/C86 band named Otalgia (which is a medical term for earache).
