I used to it with a brother named, Moe Moe used to it with a brother named, Joe Joe used to kick it his girlfriend Lateisha brother Elmo, looked like me Elmo used to elbow of brothers in the nose Kick em when they down and he'd steal they shoes and Elmo would develop of beef as a tweaker and all of them was come lookin for me that, fat motherfuckers 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, what's here's a rap Saturday o'clock, told E-Roc, the whole block and what not, about, how men are spottin he "This little homey gets bread flossin You ain't Steve Austin, Elmo got in Boots Maybe you move to Boston" But you get lost you play like a punk Pile on the Right Guard I got funk

Bet George and Bootsy, never had like this twenty-two, twist no fist can dismiss this rip that go through, maybe I can flow through whole ordeal and not pull out the black steel and my friends suggestions... that I should squeal to the cops but out of the question If I die by the of a misled brother he be judged by the system that is scared of me and others? I believe no, so I go, with the flow even though I'm to roll 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 never motherfuckers 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 were once used to each other Could be used, to serve and the brothers And the sisters and the cousins or others But the keeps growing like a fungus...

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