I used to kick it with a named, Moe Moe used to kick it a brother named, Joe Joe to kick it with his girlfriend Lateisha brother Elmo, looked like me Elmo to elbow lots of brothers in the nose Kick em they down and he'd steal they shoes and clothes Elmo would lots of beef as a tweaker and all of them was mostly come for me Imagine that, fat motherfuckers with bats to rat pack, hmm, to get a gat So I'm strapped cause I'm like brother Thomas in his fat lap, what's happenin here's a rap Saturday twelve o'clock, told E-Roc, the whole and what not, about, how men are spottin he "This little homey bread like flossin You Steve Austin, Elmo got paws in Boots Maybe you move to Boston" But you get when you play like a punk Pile on the Right Guard I got funk

Bet and Bootsy, never had funk like this catch twenty-two, twist no fist can this rip that I'ma go through, maybe I can through this whole ordeal and not out the black steel and my friends suggestions... that I should to the cops but that's out of the question If I die by the of a misled brother could he be judged by the system is scared of me and others? I believe no, so I don't go, the flow even though I'm bout to roll with no up a creek called shit, is lit on the situation Cause me and him is gonna the population Now we wonder why our revolution never Killin motherfuckers for steppin on our toe If we had as funk for our oppressors as we did for ourselves, the blood would never flow And then, the uzis were once used to kill each other be used, to serve and protect the brothers And the sisters and the or whatever others But the funk keeps growing a fungus...
"I'm trying, not to lose..." "I'm trying, not to my head..." --> Melle Mel (repeat 2X)
"That's Elmo, get fool" "Yeah get that fool" "Ay, I'm Boots, I ain't Elmo -- I'm from The Coup!!"
Four til I'm twenty-five, now I got a forty-five caliber take no jive, just pull to fix Don't want to be eighty-sixed, three six and six in my mix Don't flap your about me takin no, trips You won't be takin no sips a milk carton seein my face with a caption, "Have you seen Boots, missing in action" This shit is more Off the Wall than Jackson Cause who be doin brothers who be doin others screwin brothers but The Coup be doin more shoo-be-doin on the corner, talkin revolution from to Florida why it don't make sense that they want me a goner on a, run cause some in a ratpack think I'm junk cause they don't see for centuries the genocidal funk so I'm a punk if I don't they ass But I gots more funk for the class Will it ever end, will we win, drinkin juice and gin gets again, gets off with a grin National Guard in for when we got beef You pop the trunk we got serious funk
