Dig It lyrics

Artist  : The Coup 
Song : Dig It



 Send "Dig It" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Presto, read the Communist Manifesto
Guerillas in the Mix, think of ?Byron and
Manesto?, so
(E-Roc: What a brother with a afro know?)
Yo, go and flow for the mack and be the hoe
so grow cause the lynchin brothers might get hung
Better rip through em from the tip of my
mouth/Mao,
say/Tse-Tung/tongue
Deficit (money spent) catch the glint
(E-Roc: of my nine as they cut welfare
twenty-five percent)
And I descent, as I clench and raise my fist
(We did away with, that) so you could get with
this
Here's a twist cause we'll overthrow like Kwame
N'Krumah
Spread around the workers as if it were a,
vicious rumor
Pam, cuts a record like a surgeon cuts a tumor
from a brain
(E-Roc: We're all cooped up so feel the pain)
from four hundred years of exploitation
Anesthesia provided by your local TV station
Patience is not a virtue (I ain't waitin)
Turn this sh*t over like Bush did a boatload of
Haitians
*DJ Pam cuts and scratches 'Dig It!'*
How now Brown Cow I'm down with the Mau Mau
Clown downtown tried to put us in the dog pound
like H. Rap Brown with the situation
(Won't get no callouses) cause I'm spittin
dialectical analysis
So how is this, we never had no Funk
until you found out that I turned to
revolutionary hunk
(Chump!) Bump you over like dominoes, rat
(E-Roc: So free Geronimo Gi Jaga Pratt!)
Lyrics hear it fear it can't get near it
got a sample didn't clear it
Point Blank says, 'f**k five-oh!' That's the
spirit
Cheer it, spat out, the fat that I consumed
Knew that I was doomed since my date of birth
 
to be the wretched of the earth, never had a
Dream that was American
(The golden ?leg to chair again?) Despair again
(But that ain't nuthin new) Told the streets were
paved with gold
Whoever paved that sh*t got minimum wage too!
*DJ Pam cuts and scratches 'Dig It!'*
'Do you understand, the metaphoric phrase?'
(repeat 3X)
'Do you understand, do you understand...'
(E-Roc: Gunned us, stunned us) exploited and they
hung us
I'd like to take a moment to say, 'f**k
Columbus!'
(Millions off my back) the black on black crisis
is a myth
The crack that did this to us (was the one from
the whip)
The record skip, the record skip, the record ship
*SCRATCH*
The record skips, cause my voice is kinda
scratchy
from yelling, 'Oh shit!' when five-oh comes to
harass me
They never pass me, no one to go and tail bro
(E-Roc: Trying to kill the movement with the new
CoIntelPro)
Leaders they killed, if I said it, it would
threaten em
They only see my back because I'm three steps
ahead of em
We're not fallin in the slot you slated
(E-Roc: We realize that our power's
mental-plated)
Masses move as well as asses do, class is through
Our time is over, past it's due
(And you still wanna know) the origin of the flow
OAKLAND CALIFORNIA NINE-FOUR-SIX-ONE-OH
*DJ Pam cuts 'Dig It!'
(Yeah, The Coup, comin at you in ninety-three!)
Yeah, and we out y'all...
'Do you understand, the metaphoric phrase?'
(repeat 3X)
'Do you understand, do you understand...'
