Lyrics Dig It - The Coup

Dig It

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 shit over like Bush did a boatload of Haitians
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, «Fuck 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 shit got minimum wage too!
«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
