The Coup

The Coup - Foul Play lyrics

Your rating:

The billion dollar dream is the dream for the cash flow
 Little do they know they're a little or a big hoe
 But they have a car they can side at the sideshow
 I'm the type of brother that'll tell another "Hell no"
 To the seller struck hiking rocks in a hellhole
 Whether you can slide you can glide in your hoo-ride
 But you're gonna drown in the high tide of genocide
 Brothers give my five but it's live jive
 Can't understand with their hands in a beehive
 I'mma take a risk on the dis take a big dive
 Just to make it rhyme on time I'll say "Overdrive"
 Missed 'em I'm not with them but they're victims
 Cause they're just a part not the start of the system
 No hocus pocus that's the focuse of the song
 Hope that you can learn this and one day sing along
 A clearly cut case co-opted by The Coup
 An expos? of foul play against me and you
 Sing it
 It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation (x4)
 (Still don't nothing move but the money)
 (Man Boots what you talking about?)
 Explicit and implicit are the exploits
 I'm speaking of the society that's living off me
 No jumps and coast to coasting in a Detroit
 No I am a factor that they don't need
 Cause labels are stable in this big world
 Talking 'bout sex, you're a boy or a girl
 Talking 'bout a kind you're a jerk or the jerker
 Talking economics you're the boss or the worker
 Right about now I'm gonna change the flow
 Going straight up like my new wave afro
 I say it and they play it
 Do you hear me though you're guessing there's a lesson
 But teach me, I want to know
 Conjunction junction what's my function?
 Connected with the genocidal pace of a race reduction
 Funny there's no money for my people's production
 The Coup is not through cause we've got some gumption
 A victim in a system about cold cash
 If you don't make it then they treat you like trash
 Dispose of you tonight if not in the morning
 This is not a prophecy, this is just a warning
 A clearly cut case co-opted by The Coup
 An expos? of foul play against me and you
 Sing it
 It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation (x4)
 Hey hold up we're about to let the DJ scratch here
 (Well let him scratch then)
 ...
 At times I find my mind can think fast
 Like when a pig has a trigger saying nigger that's your ass
 Thoughts of a slave master rise from the past
 The past is the present cause I still feel the lash
 It's against the law just to be black
 Cause the war on drugs is just thugs on the attack
 The C is not the source of course so just get back
 Why try a lot, I doubt it's just about crack
 Brothers on the block making bankroll
 Maybe could the dream be the dream of an overthrow?
 If so no mo' we'll play the big toe
 In a shoe that's cramped so break a brother's sole
 Slip and stuck slowly to the same game
 Several hundred years we have been in a chain gang
 Let our shackles only add on to a migraine
 Old fame, thoughts of pain slowly drive me insane
 But then I started rapping for The Coup
 A lot of rappers out there just looking for the pay-off
 Listen to the message that the Boots brings to you
 The Coup is just a group to bring order out of chaos
 People pick problems out and isolate
 Misguiding many to think it's a mistake
 Well I'm the Boots and I'm here to set 'em straight
 My information leads me to think there's foul play
 A clearly cut case co-opted by The Coup
 An expos? of foul play against me and you
 Sing it
 It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation (x3
