A Tribe Called Quest - Left My Wallet In El Segundo Lyrics

Send "Left My Wallet In El Segundo" ringtone to your cell

My mother went away for a month-long trip

Her and some friends on an ocean-liner ship

She made a big mistake by leaving me home

I had to roam so then picked up the phone

Dialed Ali up to see what was going down

Told him I pick him up so we could drive around

Took the Dodge Dart a '74

My mother left a yard but I needed one more

Shaheed had me covered with a hundred green backs

So we left Brooklyn and we made big tracks

Drove down the Belt got on the Conduit

Came to a toll we paid and went through it

Had no destination we was on a quest

Ali laid in the back so he could get rest

Drove down the road for two-days-and-a-half

The sun had just risen on a dusty path

Just then a figure had caught my eye

A man with a sombrero who was four feet high

I pulled over to ask where we was at

His index finger he tipped up his hat

"El Segundo" he said "My name is Pedro

If you need directions I tell you pronto"

Needed no civilization some sort of reservation

He said a mile south there´s a fast food station

Thanks senor as I started the motor

Ali said "Damn Tip why you drive so far for?"

When he said "Why?" I said "We gotta go

'Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo"

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

I gotta get it I got got to get it

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Come on let´s go

Anyway a gas station we passed we got gas

And went on to get grub there was a nice little pub

In the middle of nowhere anywhere would have been better

I ordered Enchiladas and I ate 'em

Ali had the fruit punch

When we finished we thought for ways to get back

I had a hunch

Ali said "Pay for lunch" so I did it

Pulled out the wallet and I saw this wicked beautiful Lady

She was a waitress there

Put the wallet down and stared and stared

To put me back into reality here´s Shaheed

"YoTip man got what you need?"

I checked for keys and started to step

What do you know my wallet I forget

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

I gotta get it I got got to get it

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Come on let´s go

Lord have mercy the heat got hotter

Ali starts to curse me

I feel bad but he makes me feel badder

Chit-chit-chatter car starts to scatter

Breaking on out we was Northeast bound

Jettin' on down at the speed of sound

Three days coming three more going

We get back and there was no slack

490 Madison we're here Sha

He said"All right Tip see you tomorrow"

Thinking about the past week the last week

Hands go in my pocket I can´t speak

Hopped in the car and torpe'ed to the shack

Of Shaheed "We gotta go back"

When he said"Why?" I said "We gotta go

'Cause I left my wallet in El Segundo"

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

I gotta get it I got got to get it

I left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Left my wallet in El Segundo

Come on let´s go
