Hip 2 Tha Skeme

The Coup

chorus



i get it done



make it one make it two make it three



right before it happens



make it four make it five make it 6 7 8 9



ten



come on motherfucka we can do it again



repeat



See i aint never had shit



but my strife and my game and my life



and all thems is just hand downs from my granddaddy lidvens



for them whose black folks ever came to here



to steal and hustling food stamps for that nine to 4 caddy



how many days can i stretch this box of grits



shit never quits im a brother



pitching fits or pitching shit



i use my mouth or a leg muscle anything to make the rent,



yo give up the hustle.



I know the us economy and i could run it



im about to make these four dollars into 4 hundred



aint nothing happening but this serious game



while they got billions in the bank



we just got money on the deck



and when we got fresh rims we on top,



on top of what when the kitchen's table's on hock



gun uncocked but we seen it on the past



make a fast dash for the cash be gangsta leaning on your ass



twentys and tens its all about making ends



no need to sin to uplift a california living



but i'd rear cos err i remember as a tot mr ogs



skank you motherfuckars with the glocks



and now the rocks is in my pockets



and my spots hot like the haiwaiian tropics



a taskforce topic cos this one's a cya



even though the yay is brought in by the cia



see im a motherfuckas thats done some dirt for my meal ticket



but i learned quit you gots to deal with it



well i dealed for twentytwofucking years



you damn straight my homies been laid when we all shed a tear



and its clear to my ear i had to learn that knowledge



cos after 12th grade i had to say fuck college



and the knowledge no longer will i waste my time



the chrome was stuck in my ear



but im stuck to the ground



im steady mobbing



back to the police station,



they checking me but its inflation thats doing this taking



no hesistating cant be waiting let me do my thing



i was hooked like a fiend but now im hip to tha skeme



chorus



i heard recognized game when its in your face



im spitting the game so close to you



you could feel the wet trace



if everybody in the hood had a phd



youd say that dr flip that burger hell it good for me



200thousand brothers watching one mind one place to go



aint no revolution they just walking to the liquor store



here take a swigger so its quicker round the niggerroe



just wanna get rich the rigamole i been here before



a typical ho aint really no different



except that she would know that caint no prostitute



can become a pimp up in this system



it'd be more drama than a soap opera daytime spot



but aint no twist up in this cemetery plot



since nineteen fiftyfour



i's been hustling for that dough



my girl been putting out cross that wick like she's a specialized pro
