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

Bet George and Bootsy, never had like this catch twenty-two, twist no fist can this rip that I'ma go through, maybe I can flow this ordeal and not pull 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 trigger of a brother could he be by the system that is scared of me and others? I believe no, so I go, with the flow even though I'm bout to with no paddle up a called shit, light is lit on the situation Cause me and him is gonna decrease the Now we wonder why our revolution grow Killin just for steppin on our toe If we had as much for our oppressors as we did for ourselves, the blood never flow again And then, the uzis that once used to kill each other Could be used, to serve and protect the And the sisters and the or whatever others But the funk growing like a fungus...
