Yo, you ain't stayin too long |
|
Keep your coat on, you gotta go |
|
You got, to go |
|
Umm, listen up.. |
|
[Pudgee] |
|
From Queens to Boogie Down you know I can Boogie Down |
|
From Mt. Vernon downtown they call it Uptown |
|
You can tell it in the style of the rhyme of course |
|
Born in Harlem, lived on the concourse |
|
Wicked in the lyrical, roughneck individual |
|
Denise Williams told you that it's gonna take a miracle |
|
To slow the flow, though it can't be stopped |
|
And Donnie Wahlberg's the New Kid on the Block (I know) |
|
Keep clockin you won't get the time of day |
|
Throw a clap I deserve an encore Fonda Ray |
|
A standin ovation, "Rhythm Nation: 1814" |
|
"In Control" like dreams (?) (you know that) |
|
See it in his eyes and from the other side |
|
Shalamar dead give-away, nothin to hide |
|
Ain't nothin fair in life but it's fair to let you know |
|
You ain't gettin too far so, keep on your coat |
|
Keep on your coat |
|
[Chorus] |
|
You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go |
|
You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go SO KEEP YOUR COAT ON |
|
You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go |
|
You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go SO KEEP YOUR COAT ON |
|
You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go |
|
You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go SO KEEP YOUR COAT ON |
|
You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go |
|
You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go.. |
|
[Pudgee] |
|
Keep on your coat no more the cat stays away |
|
The mice or men will have a very short stay (time to go) |
|
To us of the new they give nuff respect |
|
Be in the "Next Generation" just like a Star Trek (Captain Kirk) |
|
And we shoot the knots you better play my team |
|
Givin out black eyes like Tyson did Mitch Green |
|
There ain't no slaves like back in the days |
|
So John Wayne is probably turnin in his grave |
|
Cause paleface tried to keep it all undercover |
|
And didn't want to give credit to anyone of color |
|
It was a black man's recipe, you know the Colonel lied |
|
He had no idea on how to make Kentucky Fried (nope!) |
|
But he will tell you that he did, if you asked him so |
|
To keep you from knowin what he thinks you shouldn't know |
|
White supremacists exist from coast to coast |
|
But there's the young black man so, keep on your coat |
|
Keep on your coat |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Pudgee] |
|
Seems like somebody got it all wrong |
|
All along, you was goin on and on, sayin please put me on |
|
(Please listen to my demo) To put me on when I wasn't no one was willin |
|
And now I get congratulations like (?) |
|
The, Gregory Hines of rap is tap-dancin |
|
And you be givin me more Cheers than Ted Danson (Cheers nigga) |
|
I know the deal on you we can go way back |
|
You know that, so leave the baldhead thing to Kojak |
|
Keep your coat on, you ain't stayin too long |
|
And by the end of this song, I'm really hopin you'll be gone |
|
Cause I don't think you wanna hear what I have to say |
|
Spit more verses out my mouth than Andrew Dice Clay |
|
So run along, gettin fronted on I'm too smart for that |
|
Like Light(?) said on The Jane(?) Show, "I'm too large for that" |
|
I keep it rockin yes I rock don't rock the boat |
|
And on that note, it's cold outside - keep on your coat |
|
[Chorus] |
|
.. and I'm gone |
