Foul Play Lyrics

Brothers on the block makin' bankroll

The billion dollar dream is the dream of the cashflow

Little do they know, they're a little or a big ho

But they have a car they can side at the sideshow

I'm the type of brother that would tell another "hell know!"

To the sellout strut, hiking rocks in a hell hole

Whether you can slide, you can glide in your cool ride

But you're gonna drown in the high-tide of genocide

Brothers give me five, but it's lockjaw

Can't understand that they hands in a beehive

I'ma take a risk on the disk, take a big dive

just to make it rhyme on time I'll say overdrive

Missed 'em, I'm not with 'em, but their victims

Just a part, not a start of the system

No hocus-pocus, that's the focus of this song

Hope that you can learn this and one day sing along

A clearly cut case co-opted by The Coup

An expose of foul play against me and you

Sing it



It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation

It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation

It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation

It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation



(Man Boots, what you talkin' 'bout?)

Explicit and implicit are the exploits

I'm speakin' of society that's livin' off me

No jobs from coast to coast and in Detroit

Now I am a factor that they don't need

(that's why you need to find Jesus, man)

'Cause labels are stable in this big world

Talin' 'bout sex you a boy or a girl

Talin' 'bout a con you're the jerk or the jerker

Talkin' economics you're the boss or the worker

(I must be the boss)

Right about now I'm gonna change the flow

Going straight up like my new wave Air Force

I say it and they play it

Do ya hear me though

You're guessin' there's a lesson, but teach me

I wanna know



Conjunction junction was my function

Connected with a genocidal pace of a race reduction

Funny there's no money for my people's production

The Coup is not through 'cause we got some gumption

A victim in the 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 expose of foul play against me and you

Sing it



It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation

It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation

It's funky...

Hey ya'll hold up, we about to let the DJ scratch here

Well let 'em scratch then

[scratches and samples]



At times I find my mind can think fast

Like when a pig has a trigger sayin' "Nigga that's yo' ass"

Thoughts of the slavemaster 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 are just thugs on the attack

The trends not the source, of course

so just get back

Why try a lot, I doubt that it's about crack

Brothers on the block makin' bankroll

Maybe could the dream be the dream of an overthrow

If so, no mo' will you play the big toe

in the shoe that's cramped so with a rubber sole

Slip and stuck slowly to the same game

Several hundred years have we been in a chain gang

Lead and shackles only add more into our mind frame

Cold fame

thoughts of pain slowly drive me insane



But then I started rappin' for The Coup

A lotta rappers just lookin' for the payoff

Listen to the message that the Boots brings to you

The Coup is just a group to bring order outta 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 it's foul play

A clearly cut case co-opted by The Coup

An expose of foul play against me and you

Sing it

It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation

It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation

It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation

It's funky, It's funky, It's funky, It's a funky situation
