Bilingual
My little sister's in the front seat with an ice cream cone
My ma's in the back seat, sitting all alone
As my pa steers her slow out of the lot
For a test drive down Michigan Avenue
My ma, she fingers her wedding band
Watches the salesman stare at my old man's hands
He's telling us all about the break he'd give us if he could, but he just can't
Well, if I could, I swear, I know just what I'd do
Now mister the day the lottery I win
I ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again
Now the neighbors come from near and far
As we pull up in our brand new used car
I wish my Dad had just hit the gas and let out a cry
And tell 'em all they can just kiss our asses goodbye
My pa sweats the same job from morning to morn'
Me, I walk home on the same dirty streets where I was born
Up the block, I can hear my little sister in the front seat blowing that horn
The sounds echoing all down Michigan Avenue
Now mister the day my number comes in
We ain't ever gonna ride in no used car again
