Back in the day when things were cool
We used to meet up with these dudes, hey
Then we rode out on Voges and Trues
And would ride around the park till it's after dark
Pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well say

And pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well

Pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Yeah, well, well, well

Laughin', and singin', and jammin', and talkin'
And pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well
And we would ride around the park till it's after dark
And when we get home hope the dogs don't bark, puff
Well, well, well
Laughin', and singin', and jammin', and talkin'
And pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well
And we would ride around the park till it's after dark
And when we get home hope the dogs don't bark, puff
Well, well, well
Laughin', and singin', and jammin', and talkin'
And pumpin' the trunk with the windows rolled up, puff
Well, well, well
And we would ride around the park till it's after dark
And when we get home hope the dogs don't bark, puff

Erica Abi Wright, better know as the Erykah Badu is a multi-genre artist with influences spanning from Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, Funk and Experimental. She is credited as one of the pioneers of Neo-Soul movement of the mid 90’s and would become one of the most prolific artist of the genre, earning her the title “First Lady Of Neo-Soul.”

Erykah’s career began in 1994, when she opened a show for D'angelo, and attracted the attention of Kedar Entertainment. Under the label, Erykah would release her debut alum Baduizm, which earned two Grammy awards. Erykah would use the monumentum of the debut release to create one of the strongest discographies of any R&B artist.
