Used to go on long runs through the Palisades whenever I was in LA on production. One house I passed always had an old yellow Lotus Esprit in the driveway. Coolest thing ever. Was feeling sentimental during the Covid shutdown so I cranked this out. 90s jam about an 80s whip. Bump it.
Was looking super fly or so I thought
Representing in the threads I’d bought
Could walk a runway and not touch the ground (so flippin’ cool)
But a girl that’ll rock my world still can’t be found
Mindin’ mine when a old man with a gold tan pulled up alongside
In a whip so hip had to ask brother where did you get that ride
Said I’m glad that you ask, its a classic, you can’t find another like mine
Got it back in the day straight from the UK it’s before your time, it’s a dime, it’s a
Yellow Lotus Esprit
Straight out the 1980s
So low nobody can see
What your girl’s doing with me
Then he threw me the keys so I hit that gas
Snapping the necks of the girls I passed
Straight outta the 80s and right on time
Hey to the ladies you look so fine
Ain’t sweatin all the lambos or the bentleys
Think she’s wavin’ at you but she meant me
Flock of Seagulls pumping out the CD
Honey put that moneymaker in the front seat, come and see me in my
Yellow Lotus Esprit
Straight out the 1980s
So low nobody can see
What your girl’s doing with me
Yellow Lotus Esprit
Like in The Spy Who Loved Me
Turns into a submarine
Your girl goes down underneath
’S how we do it in the
L-O-T-U-S-E-S-P-R-I-T
L-O-T-U-S-E-S-P-R-I-T
And I know I’m born at the wrong time
To pull off something so damn fine
But behind this wheel I swear I feel
This is my time, this is my time…
