Foul Play lyrics

Artist  : The Coup 
Song : Foul Play



 Send "Foul Play" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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 exposÚ 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 exposÚ 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 exposÚ of foul play against me and you
Sing it
It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky
situation (x3)
