Who Stole My Car? Lyrics


Yo Jeff, what's up Holmes? Yo what's up Prince?
Yo what's up man? Aey where's my car at?
Where's your car, why you askin' me?
No I parked my car right here, you're standin' here where's my car?
I been here for an hour and a half I ain't seen it
Come on man stop playin' Jeff where's my car at?
No I'm serious man, it's not in my pocket I haven't seen your car
Jeff where's my car I parked my car right here man?
(I don't know)
Now a joke is a joke and fun and games are chill
But this isn't funny this is straight up ill
Now there's a limit to humor and this is gone too far
I ain't laughin' no more y'all now who stole my car
I don't know
I don't know if y'all ever had a car stolen before
But it's a real crazy feelin' when you walk out the door
And you don't need a map or any kind of chart
To know you're standin' in the spot where your car used to be parked

Now you know you parked your car their but yet you keep lookin'
'Cause your mind didn't except yet that somebody took it
So your scratchin' your head and tryin' to get things clear
And there's always some idiot who says, "You sure you parked here"
To call the police would be the move that's smart
But instead you keep lookin' where you know you didn't park
Searchin' for reasons like maybe tickets you owed
Somethin' to justify that maybe it got towed
But not stolen naa never forget it
But then you ask yourself well where the hell is it?
If there was a prize you'd win dummy of the year
'Cause you lookin' somewhere else when you know you parked it here
So to never never land you find yourself strollin'
And when you finally except that it's stolen
You call the police and they come and say
"That's the 437th car stolen today"
As if that's somethin' that he really needed to mention
Then they start askin' you real dumb questions like
"When's the last time that you saw it?"
You idiot right before they stole it
Now you're mad this cop is talkin' to you
And somebody's in your car headin' to Kalamazoo
Officer fool or whoever you are
Can you please get off your butt and find who stole my car?
I remember my first car never forget it
A candy apple red irub windows be tinted
Talk about fast like a rocket to drive
When from zero to 60 in like 5 point 5
And matchin' red rims but that wasn't enough
It had a car phone for when I wanted to reach out and touch
An Alpine stereo that straight up rocked
With 12 inch woofers you could hear for blocks
The first day I got it, I was frontin' real hard
I could hear people sayin' "Damn look at that car"
I was hyped and I wanted my friends to check it out
So I went to the spot where they usually hangin' out
Just my luck nobody standin' outside
And I really didn't feel like parkin' my ride
So I honked my horn but nobody was comin'
I said, "What the heck I ran inside and left it runnin'"
I was inside for 20 seconds that's all
I found my friends and said, "You gotta check this out y'all"
But when we came back out the car wasn't there
Man you ain't buy nothin,' I did I swear
My friends went inside I was mad they didn't believe me
Now I'm standin' outside at the spot my car used to be
It was hard to figure out what to do all alone
But then I got it call the car phone
Fresh Princes car
Yo thief bring my car back now before I bust your
Hold up wait a minute pal, seems like you kinda forgot the keys
I thought man he's right well bring it back please
Hello, "Listen thief don't hang up"
Then luckily Jeff pulled up
I told him what had happened someone's stolen my car
I said, "Come on Jeff, let's get him he can't be far"
We rode around for about 20 minutes
When we were just about to say forget it
When I spotted him, I said, "Jeff go get it"
We pulled up behind him and man he jetted
He was drivin' all wild and fast like
He was gettin' points for the stuff that he crashed
I called him on the car phone again and I said
"Of course you realize when I catch you you're dead"
All through Philly was a high speed chasin'
Dude was playin' around like he thought we was racin'
A hundred miles an hour and he lost control
And slammed my car into a telephone pole
I ran to the car I said, "Man you okay"
He said, "Yeah", so I punched him in the face
The cops came up as if it was my fault
They say me punch dude and charged me with assault
If his neck was closer I probably would have grabbed it
He told the cops that I said, "He could have it"
I calmed down and they got things straight
I saw half my car in Seventh street the other half in Eighth
I wanna just jump in the ocean
My car looked like it was a leggo explosion
Why does life have to be so hard?
Don't laugh next time it could be your car

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince was a 1980s and 1990s rap duo. The vocalist of this duo, Will Smith, met Jeff Townes while trying to make a name for himself in West Philadelphia’s local party/rap scene. After joining forces, the team became local celebrities. Philadelphia-based Pop Art Records released their first single, Girls Ain’t Nothing but Trouble, in late 1985, a tale of misadventures with the opposite sex. The song sampled the theme of I Dream of Jeannie. Smith became known for lighthearted, storytelling raps and capable, through curse-free, 'battle' rhymes. Townes was known for his turntable acrobatics, and is credited by many as inventing a style of scratching called "transforming".

Based off this success, the duo were brought to the attention of Jive Records and Russell Simmons’. Their first album, Rock the House, debuted on Jive in the summer of 1987. The band found themselves on their first major tour with Run DMC, Public Enemy, and others, that same year. The album sold about 300,000 units. Their 1988 follow-up hit, He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper made them multi-platinum stars. Mostly recorded in the UK, the album was rap musics’s first double-vinyl LP release (also issued as a single cassette and CD). Parents Just Don’t Understand, the lead-off single, made them MTV household names, and tracks like Brand New Funk was received well by their fans. Rock The House was re-released to gold sales later that year.

Another single, Nightmare on My Street, showcased a fictional confrontation with movie villain Freddy Krueger. Coinciding with the release of the fourth Nightmare on Elm Street film (1988’s "The Dream Master"), New Line Cinema was not pleased. A video allegedly shot for the single was buried, and a disclaimer was hastily included on pressings of the album indicating that the record was not officially affiliated with any of the "Nightmare" films (ironically, Jive Records ended up releasing the soundtrack to the next film in the series, "The Dream Child").

1989 saw the release of And In This Corner..., which sold gold, but saw the duo slip in popularity. The crossover curse of various rap acts had come to pass, as their initial audience felt they had become too accessible; non-crossover rap acts like Big Daddy Kane and Boogie Down Productions had bigger street followings; meanwhile, pop radio had latched on to new faces like Tone Loc and Young MC, while non-radio followers became more enamored with hardcore acts like Ice-T and 2 Live Crew. In a bit of mild irony, the lead single, I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson, featured the brawler in its video, but shortly after the band’s Grammy performance in 1990, Tyson lost his first fight with Buster Douglas.

Smith would later admit to a spendthrift attitude during this time, becoming near-broke, which led him to feel he had nothing to lose when a TV producer approached him to do a show on NBC. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air boosted his profile, and pocketbook, giving him the leverage to stage a comeback album, Homebase, in 1991. The platinum album featured the lead-off single Summertime, which has become one of their most enduring hits. Code Red, their last studio LP as a duo, released in 1993 to gold sales. The duo made it to the very top of the Singles charts in 1993 with the single Boom! Shake The Room.

Shortly afterward, Smith began to look at acting full-time; his movie roles increased, finally getting his first lead role in 1995’s Bad Boys. 1996’s Independence Day cemented him as a major draw, and he left the Fresh Prince that same year. Strangely, he and Townes ended up being sued by Jive, who alleged that the duo still owed them albums. In an intervew, Smith has stated that while shooting the Men in Black movie, Smith approached Jive with the "Men in Black" single; they turned him down, saying that it couldn’t be a hit. In the aftermath of the movie and soundtrack’s success, the duo settled the lawsuit out of court. Hence, their Greatest Hits compilation includes two cuts from the M.I.B. soundtrack.

Since then, of course, Smith has released three Columbia/Sony albums under his own name; a separate "solo" hits cd was released in 2003. Jazzy Jeff, meanwhile, recorded an aborted album for Columbia in 1999 (including a song with Eminem), and then independently released The Magnificent in 2002. He has also become an R&B producer of note, overseeing releases by Jill Scott and others.
