The Coup

8

[Boots]

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

Elmo used to elbow lots of brothers in the nose

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)

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
