The Coup

The Coup - Dig It lyrics

Your rating:

Guerillas in the Mix, think of ?Byron and Manesto?, so
 (E-Roc: What a brother with a afro know?)
 Yo, go and flow for the mack and be the hoe
 so grow cause the lynchin brothers might get hung
 Better rip through em from the tip of my mouth/Mao,
 say/Tse-Tung/tongue
 Deficit (money spent) catch the glint
 (E-Roc: of my nine as they cut welfare twenty-five percent)
 And I descent, as I clench and raise my fist
 (We did away with, that) so you could get with this
 Here's a twist cause we'll overthrow like Kwame N'Krumah
 Spread around the workers as if it were a, vicious rumor
 Pam, cuts a record like a surgeon cuts a tumor from a brain
 (E-Roc: We're all cooped up so feel the pain)
 from four hundred years of exploitation
 Anesthesia provided by your local TV station
 Patience is not a virtue (I ain't waitin)
 Turn this shit over like Bush did a boatload of Haitians
 *DJ Pam cuts and scratches "Dig It!"*
 How now Brown Cow I'm down with the Mau Mau
 Clown downtown tried to put us in the dog pound
 like H. Rap Brown with the situation
 (Won't get no callouses) cause I'm spittin dialectical analysis
 So how is this, we never had no Funk
 until you found out that I turned to revolutionary hunk
 (Chump!) Bump you over like dominoes, rat
 (E-Roc: So free Geronimo Gi Jaga Pratt!)
 Lyrics hear it fear it can't get near it
 got a sample didn't clear it
 Point Blank says, "Fuck five-oh!" That's the spirit
 Cheer it, spat out, the fat that I consumed
 Knew that I was doomed since my date of birth
 to be the wretched of the earth, never had a Dream that was American
 (The golden ?leg to chair again?) Despair again
 (But that ain't nuthin new) Told the streets were paved with gold
 Whoever paved that shit got minimum wage too!
 *DJ Pam cuts and scratches "Dig It!"*
 "Do you understand, the metaphoric phrase?" (repeat 3X)
 "Do you understand, do you understand..."
 (E-Roc: Gunned us, stunned us) exploited and they hung us
 I'd like to take a moment to say, "Fuck Columbus!"
 (Millions off my back) the black on black crisis is a myth
 The crack that did this to us (was the one from the whip)
 The record skip, the record skip, the record ship *SCRATCH*
 The record skips, cause my voice is kinda scratchy
 from yelling, "Oh shit!" when five-oh comes to harass me
 They never pass me, no one to go and tail bro
 (E-Roc: Trying to kill the movement with the new CoIntelPro)
 Leaders they killed, if I said it, it would threaten em
 They only see my back because I'm three steps ahead of em
 We're not fallin in the slot you slated
 (E-Roc: We realize that our power's mental-plated)
 Masses move as well as asses do, class is through
 Our time is over, past it's due
 (And you still wanna know) the origin of the flow
 OAKLAND CALIFORNIA NINE-FOUR-SIX-ONE-OH
 *DJ Pam cuts "Dig It!"
 (Yeah, The Coup, comin at you in ninety-three!)
 Yeah, and we out y'all...
 "Do you understand, the metaphoric phrase?" (repeat 3X)
 "Do you understand, do you understand
