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

Bet George and Bootsy, never had like this catch twenty-two, twist no fist can this rip I'ma go through, maybe I can flow through whole ordeal and not pull out the black steel and my make suggestions... I should 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 is scared of me and others? I no, so I don't go, with the flow though I'm bout 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 why our revolution never grow motherfuckers just for steppin on our toe If we had as much for our oppressors as we did for ourselves, the blood would never flow And then, the uzis that were once to kill each other Could be used, to serve and protect the And the and the cousins or whatever others But the funk growing like a fungus...
