The Coup

[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



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

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
