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

Bet and Bootsy, never had funk like this catch twenty-two, twist no can dismiss this rip that I'ma go through, maybe I can through this ordeal and not pull out the black steel and my friends suggestions... that I squeal 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 that is of me and others? I believe no, so I don't go, the flow though I'm bout to roll with no paddle up a creek shit, light is lit on the situation me and him is gonna decrease the population Now we wonder why our revolution grow Killin motherfuckers for steppin on our toe If we had as much funk for our as we did for ourselves, the would never flow again And then, the uzis that were once to kill each other Could be used, to and protect the brothers And the sisters and the or whatever others But the funk keeps growing a fungus...
