[Chorus]

Back seat of my jeep, let's swing an episode^✦

Back seat of my jeep, let's swing an ep'

[Verse 2]

I'm pullin'^✦ over^✦ near your building

I light a candle on the dashboard,^✦ we're chillin'

I knew a girl like you would love a scene like this

You got class but deep down you're real freakish

You got it all, but you never^✦ had a wild episode^✦

That's when me and my jeep showed^✦

Up with the funk in the trunk and

Hittin'^✦ it, we're spunkin'

I'll even^✦ get you drunk and tipsy^✦

'Cause I know you're feelin'^✦ frisky^✦

You love it cause it's wild and risky^✦

You got your eyes on the hood

You're up to no good

I took you in the back, you hoped^✦ I would

You got your black on black so stacked in the back

While I'm pumpin'^✦ it the CD will skip a track

Windows are foggy^✦

And, uh, back seat treats in the streets could be a hobby^✦

And you ain't in between the Isley^✦ Brothers' sheets

I give it to you real raw in the backseat

That's how you want it, don't ya? (yeah)

You'll tell your girlfriends, won't ya? (nah)

Don't lie

Take it in your eye (Why?)

So buckle up, buckle up

What's my name? what's my name? what's my name? what's my name? huh

I never^✦ knew a four-wheel drive could be so live

I'll put your numbers in the archives

So take 'em off, and put them things on the mirror girl

It's my jeep and your world

You got it going on lovely,^✦ time to do the right thing

Cause I can tell you wanna swing

[Chorus]

Back seat of my jeep, let's swing an episode^✦

Back seat of my jeep, let's swing an ep'

[Verse 3]

We're bonin'^✦ on the dark blocks

Wearin'^✦ out the shocks, wettin'^✦ up the dashboard^✦ clock

Seats full of sweat, I told ya I would get it

Your kitty,^✦ kitty,^✦ cat, cat, was hungry^✦ so I fed it

Workin'^✦ as a team

Somebody,^✦ anybody^✦ (scream)

Jump with me to the casbah^✦

I'll be like Bruce Lee in them skins goin' "waahhh"

Damn, it's so good, the mad grip on my tip

You're still a nice girl but my jeep makes^✦ ya flip

You go wild and stick your toes on the roof (yeah yeah)

You're so cute, wit' your gold tooth

Extensions on the carpet^✦

That nice round brown is my target^✦

It's so firm, so cushy,^✦ it makes^✦ me feel mushy^✦

I love it when it's pushy^✦

But don't laugh, I'm serious with this (word up)

The back seat of my jeep is priceless

You're climaxin',^✦ you're climaxin',^✦ it's full action

You love a good waxin',^✦ it's so relaxin'^✦

Ahhh, give me a hug

See what I'm sayin' love?

[Chorus]

Back seat of my jeep, let's swing an episode^✦

Back seat of my jeep, let's swing an ep'

AABB rhyme coupletsInternal rhythmic cadenceColloquial storytellingSyncopated placement of rhyming syllables

Rhyme Architecture: The verse follows a consistent AABB-based structure with heavy reliance on simple end-rhymes (building/chillin', this/freakish, trunk/spunkin'), utilizing internal assonance to maintain the flow.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"funk in the trunk"

① The literal sub-woofer bass located in the back of the vehicle② A sexual euphemism referencing the artist's prowess

"black on black so stacked in the back"

① A reference to the physical positioning of the passenger② A style-conscious description of the interior or attire

Strong rhythmic pocket suited for G-Funk era production

Effective use of narrative setting (the Jeep) to ground the listener

Charismatic performance that matches the laid-back production style

Lack of complex multi-layered entendres

Relying heavily on simple end-rhymes that lack dense internal connectivity

Punchlines are situational rather than linguistically clever
