Foul Play Lyrics - Singles - The Coup

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 focus of the song 

Hope that you can learn this and one day sing along 

A clearly cut case co-opted by The Coup 

An expose of foul play against me and you 

Sing it 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

(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 expos?of foul play against me and you 

Sing it 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

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 expos?of foul play against me and you 

Sing it 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation 

It's funky, it's funky, it's funky, it's a funky situation
