I used to kick it a brother named, Moe Moe used to it with a brother named, Joe Joe to kick it with his girlfriend Lateisha whose brother Elmo, like me Elmo used to lots of brothers in the nose Kick em when down and he'd steal they shoes and clothes would develop 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 trapped like brother in his fat momma's lap, what's happenin a rap Saturday twelve o'clock, told E-Roc, the block and what not, about, how men are he said "This little homey bread like flossin You ain't Austin, Elmo got paws in Boots you should move to Boston" But you get lost when you play like a Pile on the Guard I got SERIOUS funk

Bet and Bootsy, never had funk like this catch twenty-two, no fist can dismiss this rip I'ma go through, maybe I can flow through this whole ordeal and not pull out the black and my make suggestions... that I should squeal to the cops but out of the question If I die by the of a misled brother could he be judged by the that is scared of me and others? I believe no, so I don't go, with the even though I'm to roll with no paddle up a creek called shit, is lit on the situation me and him is gonna decrease the population Now we wonder why our revolution never Killin just for steppin on our toe If we had as much for our oppressors as we did for ourselves, the would never flow again And then, the uzis that were used to kill each other Could be used, to and protect the brothers And the sisters and the cousins or whatever But the keeps growing like a fungus...

"That's Elmo, get that fool" "Yeah get fool" "Ay, I'm Boots, I ain't Elmo -- I'm Boots The Coup!!"
Four til I'm twenty-five, now I got a forty-five don't take no jive, just pull to fix Don't want to be eighty-sixed, three six and six in my mix Don't flap lips about me takin no, trips You won't be takin no sips from a milk my face with a caption, askin "Have you seen Boots, missing in action" This shit is Off the Wall than Michael Jackson Cause brothers who be doin brothers who be others screwin brothers but The Coup be more than shoo-be-doin on the corner, talkin from Victoria to Florida It's why it don't make sense that they me a goner on a, run cause brothers in a ratpack think I'm poppin cause they don't see for centuries the genocidal funk so I'm a punk if I blast they ass But I gots funk for the rulin class it ever end, will we ever win, drinkin juice and gin Five-oh gets again, off with a grin National sent in for when we got beef You wanna pop the trunk we got funk
