Coup, The

Funk
I used to kick it with a brother named Moe Moe used to kick it with a brother named Joe Joe used to kick with his girlfriedn Lateisha Whose brother Elmo looked like me Elmo used to elbow lotsa brothers in the nose Kick 'em when they down then he'd steal they shoes and clothes Elmo would develop lotsa beef as a tweaker And all of them are supposed to come lookin' for me Imagine that, fat motherfuckers with bats Tryin' to ratpack Hmmm, time' to get a gat Letras de cancionesSo I'm strapped 'Cause I'm trapped like brother Thomas in his fat Momma's lap, what's happenin', here's a rap Saturday, twelve o'clock, told E-Roc the whole block and what not, about How men are spottin' he said "This little homey gets bread like frostin' " You ain't Steve Austin Elmo got lost and Boots maybe you should move to Boston But you get lost When you played like a punk Pile on the Right Guard I got serious funk I'm tryin' not to lose I'm tryin' not to lose my head I'm tryin' not to lose I'm tryin' not to lose my head I'm glad to tell you what it is later Bet George and Bootsy Never had funk like this Catch-22 Twist, no fist can dismiss this rip That I'ma go through Maybe I could flow through this whole ordeal and not pull out the black steel, and my friends make suggestions That I should squeal to the cops but that's outta the question If I die by the trigger of a mislead brother Could he be judged by the system that is scared of me and others I believe no, so I don't go with the flow Even though I'm about to roll with no paddle Up a creek called shit Light is lit on the situation 'S Me and him is goin' to decrease the population Now we wonder why revolution never grow Killin' motherfuckers if they steppin' on our toe If we had as much funk for our oppressors as we did for ourselves The blood would never flow again And then the uzis that were once used to kill each other Could be used to serve and protect the brothers And the sisters and they cousin or whatever others But the funk keeps groin' like a fungus I'm tryin' not to lose I'm tryin' not to lose my head I'm tryin' not to lose I'm tryin' not to lose my head That's Elmo, get that fool Yeah, get that fool Hey I'm Boots I ain't Elmo.
