Moe used to kick it with a brother named, Joe
3
Joe used to kick it with his girlfriend Lateisha
4
Whose brother Elmo, looked like me
5
Elmo used to elbow lots of brothers in the nose
6
Kick em when they down and he'd steal they shoes and clothes
7
Elmo would develop lots of beef as a tweaker
8
And all of them was mostly come lookin for me
9
Imagine that, fat motherfuckers with bats tryin
10
To rat pack, hmm, time to get a gat
11
So I'm strapped cause I'm trapped like brother Thomas in his fat
12
Momma's lap, what's happenin here's a rap
13
Saturday twelve o'clock, told E-Roc, the whole block
14
And what not, about, how men are spottin he said
15
"This little homey gets bread like flossin
16
You ain't Steve Austin, Elmo got paws in Boots
17
Maybe you should move to Boston"
18
But you get lost when you play like a punk
19
Pile on the Right Guard I got SERIOUS funk
20
"I'm trying, not to lose..."
21
"I'm trying, not to lose my head..."
22
"I plan to tell you what it is later"
23
Bet George and Bootsy, never had funk like this
24
Catch twenty-two, twist no fist can dismiss this
25
Rip that I'ma go through, maybe I can flow through
26
This whole ordeal and not pull out the black steel
27
And my friends make suggestions...
28
That I should squeal to the cops but that's out of the question
29
If I die by the trigger of a misled brother
30
Could he be judged by the system that is scared of me and others?
31
I believe no, so I don't go, with the flow
32
Even though I'm bout to roll with no paddle
33
Up a creek called shit, light is lit on the situation
34
Cause me and him is gonna decrease the population
35
Now we wonder why our revolution never grow
36
Killin motherfuckers just for steppin on our toe
37
If we had as much funk for our oppressors as we did
38
For ourselves, the blood would never flow again
39
And then, the uzis that were once used to kill each other
40
Could be used, to serve and protect the brothers
41
And the sisters and the cousins or whatever others
42
But the funk keeps growing like a fungus...
43
"I'm trying, not to lose..."
44
"I'm trying, not to lose my head..."
45
"That's Elmo, get that fool" "Yeah get that fool"
46
"Ay, I'm Boots, I ain't Elmo -- I'm Boots from The Coup!!"
47
Four years til I'm twenty-five, now I got a forty-five
48
Caliber don't take no jive, just pull to fix
49
Don't want to be eighty-sixed, three six and six ain't in my mix
50
Don't flap your lips about me takin no, trips
51
You won't be takin no sips from a milk carton
52
Seein my face with a caption, askin
53
"Have you seen Boots, he's missing in action"
54
This shit is more Off the Wall than Michael Jackson
55
Cause brothers who be doin brothers who be doin others
56
Screwin brothers but The Coup be doin more than shoo-be-doin
57
On the corner, talkin revolution from Victoria to Florida
58
It's why it don't make sense that they want me a goner
59
On a, run cause some brothers in a ratpack think I'm
60
Poppin junk cause they don't see for centuries
61
The genocidal funk so I'm a punk if I don't blast they ass
62
But I gots more funk for the rulin class
63
Will it ever end, will we ever win, drinkin juice and gin

You want to pop the trunk we got serious funk
