[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 |
[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 |
