[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
