Coup - Foul Play Lyrics
Brothers on the block making bankrollThe billion dollar dream is the dream for the cash flowLittle do they know theyre a little or a big hoeBut they have a car they can side at the sideshowIm the type of brother thatll tell another hell noTo the seller struck hiking rocks in a hellholeWhether you can slide you can glide in your hoo-rideBut youre gonna drown in the high tide of genocideBrothers give my five but its live jiveCant understand with their hands in a beehiveImma take a risk on the dis take a big diveJust to make it rhyme on time Ill say overdriveMissed em Im not with them but theyre victimsCause theyre just a part not the start of the systemNo hocus pocus thats the focuse of the songHope that you can learn this and one day sing alongA clearly cut case co-opted by the coupAn expos? of foul play against me and youSing itIts funky, its funky, its funky, its a funky situation (x4)(still dont nothing move but the money)(man boots what you talking about? )Explicit and implicit are the exploitsIm speaking of the society thats living off meNo jumps and coast to coasting in a detroitNo I am a factor that they dont needCause labels are stable in this big worldTalking bout sex, youre a boy or a girlTalking bout a kind youre a jerk or the jerkerTalking economics youre the boss or the workerRight about now Im gonna change the flowGoing straight up like my new wave afroI say it and they play itDo you hear me though youre guessing theres a lessonBut teach me, I want to knowConjunction junction whats my function?Connected with the genocidal pace of a race reductionFunny theres no money for my peoples productionThe coup is not through cause weve got some gumptionA victim in a system about cold cashIf you dont make it then they treat you like trashDispose of you tonight if not in the morningThis is not a prophecy, this is just a warningA clearly cut case co-opted by the coupAn expos? of foul play against me and youSing itIts funky, its funky, its funky, its a funky situation (x4)Hey hold up were about to let the dj scratch here(well let him scratch then)...At times I find my mind can think fastLike when a pig has a trigger saying nigger thats your assThoughts of a slave master rise from the pastThe past is the present cause I still feel the lashIts against the law just to be blackCause the war on drugs is just thugs on the attackThe c is not the source of course so just get backWhy try a lot, I doubt its just about crackBrothers on the block making bankrollMaybe could the dream be the dream of an overthrow?If so no mo well play the big toeIn a shoe thats cramped so break a brothers soleSlip and stuck slowly to the same gameSeveral hundred years we have been in a chain gangLet our shackles only add on to a migraineOld fame, thoughts of pain slowly drive me insaneBut then I started rapping for the coupA lot of rappers out there just looking for the pay-offListen to the message that the boots brings to youThe coup is just a group to bring order out of chaosPeople pick problems out and isolateMisguiding many to think its a mistakeWell Im the boots and Im here to set em straightMy information leads me to think theres foul playA clearly cut case co-opted by the coupAn expos? of foul play against me and youSing itIts funky, its funky, its funky, its a funky situation (x3)
