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!

 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!
