[00:02.01][Intro: Busdriver]
[00:06.78] I just really wanted to be included in the conversation
[00:13.23] My *****, let me give you my thoughts on the matter
[00:18.29]
[00:19.24][Verse 1]
[00:32.26] My introduction to the party was "Who be that?"
[00:34.57] With small talk littering conversation with booby traps
[00:37.06] Chewing fat with political theorists busy reviewing stats
[00:39.83] They're going home to *****s committing unruly acts
[00:42.24] But not getting fitted for no Uzi straps
[00:45.09] Just keeping the hoodie mac and the doobie wrapped
[00:47.13] And never reflecting how we truly act
[00:49.38] They're screaming out that **** until the mother****ing tubing cracks
[00:52.70] Cause it feels like a lacking military coup in fact
[00:54.65] But had to bring Paul Mooney back to give y'all the point of view
[00:57.39] Of a threatening black man, cause these legislators get paid for the
[01:01.15] Booty claps so we had to bring the coofie back
[01:03.31] So take a breath, take a step, take a leap
[01:05.35] I'ma take these mother****ers straight up out their seats
[01:07.72] Yeah
[01:08.37] Reach for the sun, I shoot from the hip with teeth in my gun
[01:13.64] So take a breath, take a step, take a leap
[01:15.95] I'ma take these mother****ers straight up out their seats
[01:18.51] Yeah
[01:19.41] Reach for the sun, I shoot from the hip with teeth in my gun
[01:23.46][Post-Hook]
[01:24.41] Remember when we were radicals out there fanning them flames
[01:26.77] Rooting out injustices in our family names
[01:29.28] Cops measuring our grave plots in candy canes
[01:31.38][Verse 2: Hemlock Ernst]
[01:33.13] I motion to leave the party early
[01:34.62] But held down by my sleeves, it's like a mild birthing
[01:36.94] Pushing past the ledge to know I'm not free
[01:38.60] Wonder if they'll remember me?
[01:39.66] As something more than a centerpiece
[01:41.05] Or a choir boy for the simile
[01:42.31] For the four-fours, for the entropy
[01:43.60] Like the chorus was always a friend to me
[01:45.12] In migrant visions though -- my mind was a cash box
[01:46.38] Followed behind grandpa in black socks, wild at heart
[01:49.69] He smoking KOOLS, 'til the day of the locust -- moved
[01:51.94] Him barely unfocused -- blue, but when I concentrate I'm scary with truths
[01:54.76] Half-remembered from my ones and twos and force of my past lives
[01:57.75] A pastor in knife fights, a bastard, a light brite
[02:00.39] I'm just babbling but what I found is our self-worth has been rooked
[02:02.87] The truth we pull from our subconscious?
[02:04.56] Just won't read it in books
[02:05.52] So take a breath, take a step, take a leap
[02:08.15] I'ma take these mother****ers straight up out their seats
[02:10.36] Yeah
[02:11.67] Reach for the sun, I shoot from the hip with teeth in my gun
[02:16.28] So take a breath, take a step, take a leap
[02:18.38] I'ma take these mother****ers straight up out their seats
[02:20.83] Yeah
[02:22.14] Reach for the sun, I shoot from the hip with teeth in my gun
[02:25.64][Interlude: Busdriver]
[02:28.76] Don't you remember?
[02:31.30] Remember us
[02:35.05] Let me tell you about it
[02:37.34] Remember when we were radicals out there fanning them flames
[02:39.70] With a mouth full of reading and a tummy full of grain?
[02:43.84] Don't you remember?
[02:45.69] I was there with you
[02:48.75] It was different then
[02:51.54] We sung the old folklore, we sung the Goodlife hymns
[02:56.45] My ***** said this one, and I repeated it. It goes:
[02:59.81] **** a cop, **** a cop
[03:01.22] He's ready to drop a cop
[03:02.57] **** a cop, **** a cop
[03:03.87] I'm ready to drop a cop, he says
[03:05.99] **** a cop, **** a cop
[03:07.24] I'm ready to drop a cop
[03:08.69] He's ready to do what you're to but he's
[03:10.75] Ready to drop a cop
[03:10.74] I wasn't ready to do it, I was studying music to make y'all pop your top
[03:14.10] So I'm steady improving I calibrated every step of my awkward walk
[03:17.75] I’m off of the coverage I’m combing the undertow, “where are ya wonder crops”
[03:21.46] I'm celebrating all the over-medicated veterans indefinitely to have a better understanding
[03:24.92] Of General Lee, and how he felt about the universe and generally
[03:26.68] The same sentiment of bus unions, make havoc viewing blacks as sub-humans
[03:29.59] We don't get down like that, the criminal intent of how I act
[03:32.24] Got me discussing paramilitary tactics with a leftist weirdo on the census bureau
[03:37.33] The crackling kinetic energy around them French braids come from the planet's furnace re-purposed
[03:42.33] For the hustle's various inertias I put the workers in burkas
[03:44.72] For the political Whirling Dervish
[03:46.53] My ***** free jazz's finances have overloaded them circuits
[03:49.47] It's tedious selling them inebriates for the CIA achievement list
[03:52.73] The edited gagged that failed Confederate flag draped over the petri dish
[03:55.92] I remember when I was oblivious, a tight wad with an iPod
[03:58.97] But then I got pulled over by them cops and got rolled up by the vice squad so I'm like
[04:02.57] **** a cop, **** a cop
[04:03.67] I'm ready to drop a cop
[04:05.13] **** a cop, **** a cop
[04:06.54] I'm ready to drop a cop, like he said
[04:08.66] **** a cop, **** a cop
[04:09.91] We ready to drop them cops
[04:16.26][04:11.56] Down a few levels off our importance in society, *****
[04:16.71][Coda]
[04:17.86] Woah
[04:20.83] Goodlifers
[04:22.42] Los Angeles
[04:24.58] ***** I'm floating in the sky above everyone, yeah
[04:27.78] **** a cop, **** a cop
[04:28.67] I'm ready to drop a cop
[04:30.48] **** a cop, **** a cop
[04:31.69] I'm ready to drop a cop
[04:33.39] Off the elemental table
[04:34.79] Disable all of them mother****ers and hook them *****s up with a USB cable
[04:38.39] Right in they navel
[04:39.69] **** a cop, **** a cop
[04:43.41] Let me show you with teeth in my gun
[04:47.23] Let me show you with grief in my puns
[04:53.40] Let me show you with teeth in my gun
[04:59.71] Let me show you with grief in my puns
[05:07.66] We were different then
[05:10.01] More in touch with each other
[05:13.12] We spoke more often
[05:15.87] We were more likely to go back home
