Foul Play Lyrics

    Brothers on the block making bankroll
    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)
