The Coup

The Coup - Not Yet Free lyrics

rate me

[sample: Ice Cube] "Blacks are too fuckin broke to be republicans"

[cut and scratched by DJ Pam the Funkstress]

[Verse One: Boots]

In this land I can't stand or sit

and not get shit thrown up in my face

A brotha never gets his props

I'm doin bellyflops at the department of waste

And everyday I pulls a front so nobody pulls my card

I got a mirror in my pocket and I practice lookin hard

I'm lookin behind me beside me ahead of me

There'll be no feet makin tracks here instead of me

But I can't disregard just what the news says to me

I'm twenty-one, so I've reached my life expectancy

At any minute I could be in some shit that kills my skinny ass

From motherfuckers doin the sellout strut or probably Oakland task

My relationship with OPD has been like one big diss

Long arm of the law, grips my dick so tight it's hard to even piss

So I forgot ain't even got a pot to do it in

Up at the church they're tellin me it's because I live in sin

So I grin, but nevertheless my mind won't dwell

I must be trippin cause I thought I was livin in hell

Capitalism is like a spider, the web is getting tighter

I'm struggling like a fighter, just to bust loose

It's like a noose asyphyxiation sets in

Just when I think I'm free it seems to me the spider steps in

This web is made of money made of greed made of me

Of what I have become in a parasite economy

[Verse Two: E Roc]

In the winter there's a splinter with the smell of the rain

And the scent of the street, but all I smell is the pain

Of a brotha who's a hustler and he's stuck to the grind

Of a sista who's a hooker gotta sell her behind

Desperation makes her brotha get a little more bold

The circumstance gets deeper when it's damp and it's cold

So I spend my time thinking bout the ultimate gank

Can I get my Coup together pull a move on the bank?

I be the picture perfect hustler for the piece of the pie

But my daddy always taught me just to reach for the sky

Now my dream and aspirations go from single to hoe

As I realize there's a million motherfuckers in the cold

No need to be told, cause when you got a million po' people

Gettin ganked, by a few that are rich and evil

But it's illegal, to wonder how they livin fat

(One two three) everybody get a gat

[Verse Three: Boots]

Ahhhhhh yeah!

Niggaz, thugs, dope dealers and pimps

Basketball players, rap stars, and simps

That's what little black boys... are made of

Sluts, hoes, and press the naps around your beck

Broads pop that coochie, bitches stay in check

That's what little black girls... are made of

But if we're made of that who made us

and what can we do to change us

The oppressor tries to tame us

here's a FOOT for his anus!

Well since the days when I was shittin in diapers

It was evident the President didn't like us

Assassination attempts I'd root for the snipers

My teacher told me that I didn't know what right was

Well she was wrong cause I knew what a right was

And a left and an uppercut, too

I had a hunch a sucker punch is what my people got

That's why I was constantly red, black, and blue

[Outro: E Roc, Boots]
