Now, motherfuckers done made a name for theyself

But a name don't mean wealth, let me up you on the shit

If we was up in this, just to get up out the ghetto

Let me tell you right now, we damn near done quit

I spit game on a regular basis; now everybody

lookin at my hand like I'm holdin all the aces

Cool that they know our faces, from different places

But you can't catch-up/ketchup if you don't know what the pace/Pace is

Everywhere we go you know especially in the O we hear

"Coup, Coup, you know we got love fo' sho'"

But even mo' when they see us on B-E-and-T and

M-T-and-V but me and E can't pay the P-G-and-E

Power come from the barrel of a bucker

I use the mic so that we aim at the same motherfucker

Cause your shit could go gold, and the only cash you got

is the silver kind that don't fold

I'm gettin dope when they ask about the road that I passed

My peoples really be thinkin they gon' come up fast

and then come rap and shake they ass

You ain't the first, motherfucker who done spent his game

then plan to scram, up out the ghetto let me break this down

From kids to gramms, fuck the videos with the Benzes

and the cellular phones, spendin hundreds like quarters

The Benz is they partner's, the money's on loan, and umm..

"the cellular number you have reached is out of order"

I mocked _Rockbox_ wearin socks in my basement, told my pops

I fin' to have as much mail as they got -- not

I still got to keep my cash clot flowin

My mind is bent on the rent I'm barely makin it micraphone

It's true, it's a few gettin fund expansions

It ain't like Acorn Projects gon' move into mansions

Straight authenticized shit, over synthesized hits

With this misty eyed mental make your teeth grit

And I'm not tryin to diss like it's a bandwagon trim

They sellin six-packs of them waves out the ghetto again

In the 20's it was rocks, in the 50's doo-wop

It's nineteen-ninety-fo' and everybody's store hoppin

And ain't nobody really tryin to hear me speak

They too busy watchin loot, gettin interviewed by Robin Leach

So if you're modest and don't higher/hire economics

Just kick it with The Coup, smoke this dub sack of funk!

[Boots]

I'm gon' die before I lie to my peoples on the block

It's like front and you gon' shoot when you ain't got no glock

You bet' not (that's a punk trick) this is how we run shit

I'm fin' to pitch a fit cause I'm tired of hearin gums hit

Why do motherfuckers get up out and go for single

when the real high rollers grab the army to protect they Pringles?



[E-Roc]

Confusion, just a system based on prostitution

They done ganked you, don't be no stank fool with they solution

Unless you got about a million semi-automatics

you gon' think you strivin doin them wholesale acrobatics



[Boots]

No I don't have it like that, Planet Planet ain't got it

Keep my whole life savings stuffed in my back pocket, flock it

I'm scrapin fronts off like plaque, no slack

I'm come Realistic like Radio Shack

Intact and fat motherfuckers finally get they shit right

Ain't no fight, they scared shitless, all they do is grab the mic

Ain't no organizin real shit on the street, it's a fleet

of revolutionaries - in the studio makin beats

So fuck the fame, fuck the game, fuck the riches fool

I ain't got shit unless all my folks gon' have it too!
