I used to kick it with a brother named, moe |
|
Moe used to kick it with a brother named, joe |
|
Joe used to kick it with his girlfriend lateisha |
|
Whose brother elmo, looked like me |
|
Elmo used to elbow lots of brothers in the nose |
|
Kick em when they down and he'd steal they shoes and clothes |
|
Elmo would develop lots of beef as a tweaker |
|
And all of them was mostly come lookin for me |
|
Imagine that, fat motherfuckers with bats tryin |
|
To rat pack, hmm, time to get a gat |
|
So 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 flossin |
|
You ain't steve austin, elmo got paws in boots |
|
Maybe you should move to boston" |
|
But you get lost when you play like a punk |
|
Pile on the right guard i got serious funk |
|
"i'm trying, not to lose..." |
|
"i'm trying, not to lose my head..." --> melle mel |
|
(repeat 2x) |
|
"i plan to tell you what it is later" |
|
(dj pam cuts and scratches) |
|
[boots] |
|
Bet george and bootsy, never had funk like this |
|
Catch twenty-two, twist no fist can dismiss this |
|
Rip that i'ma go through, maybe i can 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 out of the question |
|
If i die by the trigger of a misled 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 bout to roll with no paddle |
|
Up a creek called shit, light is lit on the situation |
|
Cause me and him is gonna decrease the population |
|
Now we wonder why our revolution never grow |
|
Killin motherfuckers just for 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 the cousins or whatever others |
|
But the funk keeps growing like a fungus... |
|
"i'm trying, not to lose..." |
|
"i'm trying, not to lose my head..." --> melle mel |
|
(repeat 2x) |
|
"that's elmo, get that fool" "yeah get that fool" |
|
"ay, i'm boots, i ain't elmo -- i'm boots from the coup!!" |
|
[boots] |
|
Four years til i'm twenty-five, now i got a forty-five |
|
Caliber don't take no jive, just pull to fix |
|
Don't want to be eighty-sixed, three six and six ain't in my mix |
|
Don't flap your lips about me takin no, trips |
|
You won't be takin no sips from a milk carton |
|
Seein my face with a caption, askin |
|
"have you seen boots, he's missing in action" |
|
This shit is more off the wall than michael jackson |
|
Cause brothers who be doin brothers who be doin others |
|
Screwin brothers but the coup be doin more than shoo-be-doin |
|
On the corner, talkin revolution from victoria to florida |
|
It's why it don't make sense that they want me a goner |
|
On a, run cause some brothers in a ratpack think i'm |
|
Poppin junk cause they don't see for centuries |
|
The genocidal funk so i'm a punk if i don't blast they ass |
|
But i gots more funk for the rulin class |
|
Will it ever end, will we ever win, drinkin juice and gin |
|
Five-oh gets again, gets off with a grin |
|
National guard sent in for when we got beef |
|
You wanna pop the trunk we got serious funk |
|
"i'm trying, not to lose..." |
|
"i'm trying, not to lose my head..." --> melle mel |
|
(repeat 4x) |
|

|
I wanna say whassup to the brothers and sisters that really got my back |
|
When the funk be on |
|
Of course it goes without saying, that e-roc and djo from the coup |

|
Evo got my back, rose got my back |
|
Niko and the whole mau mau rhythm collective |
|
Got my back cause i got theirs |
|
The funk is on, and african identity is there |
|
The funk is on and midnight voices is there |
|
The funk is on and t-more and twin from elements of change are there |
|
And i'm there for cindy, i'm there for 3rd rail |
|
I'm there for aztlan nation |
|
I got your back leftside sim |
|
I got your back disposable heroes of hiphoprisy cause you got mine |
|
All y'all got my back, neckbone got my back with the sax |

Problem child got my back with the piano |

Aiy y'all let's fade out, but before we fade |
