Dayton Trouble

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sun on the chrome
before the paint even dry
I rolled off the block
and the whole lane looked twice

Full set of Dayton wire wheels
turn heads at the light
I was mindin’ my business
but business came to my ride

Old heads nod slow
young ones start to stare
One say, "Where you get them?"
I just grinned like I care

Candy on the body
seats smell like new leather
Mama said, "Boy, that shine
only bring you bad weather"

And she was right
’cause the first one was a look
then the second one was a tail
then the third one was a crook

Pre-Chorus
Now I’m circlin’ home
with my hand on the wheel
Every stop I make
turns hungry in the deal

They love that shine
but they want what it cost
When you look like a million
they gon’ try and take it off

Chorus
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
I look incredible
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
that makes me trouble, though

Full set of Dayton wire wheels
don’t let ’em get too close
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
I shine, then I roll

Verse 2
Pulled by the market
man with a smile too wide
Said he knew my cousin
but his eyes said lie

He walked round slow
like he was countin’ my spokes
Tried to lean on my door
tried to make a little joke

I said, "Bro, keep steppin’"
he said, "You actin’ mean"
But I seen that same move
on the same back street

Then a siren split air
made the whole crowd shift
Couple kids backed up
like they seen a bad drift

I slid through the gap
with a prayer and a crease
Full set on the side
and my heart in the teeth

Pre-Chorus
Now I’m circlin’ home
with my hand on the wheel
Every stop I make
turns hungry in the deal

They love that shine
but they want what it cost
When you look like a million
they gon’ try and take it off

Chorus
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
I look incredible
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
that makes me trouble, though

Full set of Dayton wire wheels
don’t let ’em get too close
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
I shine, then I roll

Bridge
Late-night garage
door cracked, radio low
I’m checkin’ every lug
while the whole world slow

One hand on the rag
one eye on the street
’Cause a pretty thing like this
always come with heat

Final Chorus
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
I look incredible
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
that makes me trouble, though

Full set of Dayton wire wheels
don’t let ’em get too close
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
I shine, then I roll

Full set of Dayton wire wheels
I look incredible
Full set of Dayton wire wheels
that makes me trouble, though
