Come tearing up/fill light
Hi
A few police officers who showed up early in the morning questioned two guys about a murder which happened a few hours ago.
One of those being questioned said: "If a man's dead, you best not waste any more time jawing with us. Cause we ain't knows nuthin 'bout nuthin".
"Not one car till you folks come tearing up. And we both been up before fill light".
----OK, I understand he said they know nothing about that murder. And I think he also said to the officers that he didn't saw a single car passing before they (officers) showed up. And that both him and the other guy got up very early in the morning (at dawn I guess).
I'm just not sure about the part:
"Not one car till you folks come tearing up. And we both been up before fill light".

Not one car till you folks come tearing up.= he didn't see a single car passing before they (officers) showed up.
And we both been up before fill light = both him and the other guy got up very early in the morning (at dawn I guess). Or possibly 'full light', i.e, sunrise; I am not familiar with the term.
