| Yo, you ain’t stayin too long
|
| Keep your coat on, you gotta go
|
| You got, to go
|
| Umm, listen up.
|
| From Queens to Boogie Down you know I can Boogie Down
|
| From Mt. Vernon downtown they call it Uptown
|
| You can tell it in the style of the rhyme of course
|
| Born in Harlem, lived on the concourse
|
| Wicked in the lyrical, roughneck individual
|
| Denise Williams told you that it’s gonna take a miracle
|
| To slow the flow, though it can’t be stopped
|
| And Donnie Wahlberg’s the New Kid on the Block (I know)
|
| Keep clockin you won’t get the time of day
|
| Throw a clap I deserve an encore Fonda Ray
|
| A standin ovation, «Rhythm Nation: 1814»
|
| «In Control» like dreams (?) (you know that)
|
| See it in his eyes and from the other side
|
| Shalamar dead give-away, nothin to hide
|
| Ain’t nothin fair in life but it’s fair to let you know
|
| You ain’t gettin too far so, keep on your coat
|
| Keep on your coat
|
| You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go
|
| You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go SO KEEP YOUR COAT ON
|
| You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go |
| You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go SO KEEP YOUR COAT ON
|
| You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go
|
| You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go SO KEEP YOUR COAT ON
|
| You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go
|
| You gotta go, you gotta go, you gotta go.
|
| Keep on your coat no more the cat stays away
|
| The mice or men will have a very short stay (time to go)
|
| To us of the new they give nuff respect
|
| Be in the «Next Generation» just like a Star Trek (Captain Kirk)
|
| And we shoot the knots you better play my team
|
| Givin out black eyes like Tyson did Mitch Green
|
| There ain’t no slaves like back in the days
|
| So John Wayne is probably turnin in his grave
|
| Cause paleface tried to keep it all undercover
|
| And didn’t want to give credit to anyone of color
|
| It was a black man’s recipe, you know the Colonel lied
|
| He had no idea on how to make Kentucky Fried (nope!)
|
| But he will tell you that he did, if you asked him so
|
| To keep you from knowin what he thinks you shouldn’t know
|
| White supremacists exist from coast to coast |
| But there’s the young black man so, keep on your coat
|
| Keep on your coat
|
| Seems like somebody got it all wrong
|
| All along, you was goin on and on, sayin please put me on
|
| (Please listen to my demo) To put me on when I wasn’t no one was willin
|
| And now I get congratulations like (?)
|
| The, Gregory Hines of rap is tap-dancin
|
| And you be givin me more Cheers than Ted Danson (Cheers nigga)
|
| I know the deal on you we can go way back
|
| You know that, so leave the baldhead thing to Kojak
|
| Keep your coat on, you ain’t stayin too long
|
| And by the end of this song, I’m really hopin you’ll be gone
|
| Cause I don’t think you wanna hear what I have to say
|
| Spit more verses out my mouth than Andrew Dice Clay
|
| So run along, gettin fronted on I’m too smart for that
|
| Like Light (?) said on The Jane (?) Show, «I'm too large for that»
|
| I keep it rockin yes I rock don’t rock the boat
|
| And on that note, it’s cold outside — keep on your coat
|
| . |
| and I’m gone |
