Hello Yes, I would like to speak to Boots from the rap group The Coop It's The Coup and this is Boots, speak Well, my name is Dick Doolittle and I'm a reporter from Grime magazine And we would like to comment on the tragic riotsNot a riot, it's a rebellion Well the tragic rebellion? Man, tragic for who?Well, there's havoc in the streets The police have lost control over the people Criminals are running free from jail And people are actually taking property from big businesses It's full of complete chaosThat's not chaos, that's progress Hmm, okay, is that your comment? No, this is itCheck it out, it's the motherfucking C O U to the P now You're fucking with the real dudes Who will meet you with a fleet of brothers in the street Getting drunk off liberation fuck the Hennessey'Cause you calmly kept us down for far too long Now you're going up in smoke like Cheech and Chong And the song, "I Ain't The Nigga" is the Constitution Niggers die but Africans make revolutionSo what happens when a people do not get their dues Well, it's tried, there's a riot so flip on the news And let's go reach the 98th here in Oaktown But let's just say for story's sake that it's in your townA hundred brothers taking factories, Warren's law is gutters And now they're handing out free chicken and free peanut butter Free food to the people, how it should be But now let's go a few blocks over to 7-3Channel 2 says at the mall, twelve cops got shot 'Cause there's eight hundred sisters taking over Eastmont With nines and AK's doing the right think like Spike Lee And now their babies got free Pampers and free NikesUp at the schoolhouse they said, "Mother fuck a hall pass Until you teach the truth, check it we ain't going to class You're teaching lies, we got wise, now we realize There's no end to this road, you disguised the prize So peep game for real mental penetration, our education's liberationThings ain't gon' never be the same Things ain't gon' never be the sameAt 6-9 there's a rally and it's swinging Through the crowd with a thousand voices singing Once upon a time in the projects, yo Motherfuckers took over and now we running the showWe don't give a damn about section eight though For what we really need, we're gonna have to take mo' The same thing was heard in the A courts In Kendall Village, across the bay in FillmoreAnd in the hills where all the rich folks live They're in shock, we're not failing to vote and build Instead of brothers on stage singing, "Do me" A black man has a gauge singing, "Do this, see?"All of a sudden everybody is out of jail But it's funny 'cause no one is out on bail And somebody shoved some police against the wall I guess today, they should've worn their clean drawers'Cause an ambulance came, that's the reality There's now a new meaning to police brutalityAll we need is satisfaction We don't want just a fraction And we've come to a conclusion Revolution is the solutionCheck it Now the Uzi's that were once used to kill each other Are now used to serve and protect the brothers And the sisters 'cause they're packing .45's and nines We're down for revolution, not just down for their behinds'Cause the word is heard across the bay and in L.A. In New York, NY, Chicago and Atlanta, G-A We gives a fuck if you've got money and the millions 'Cause motherfucker, we've got posse in the billionsSo break yourself Bush, it's collection day Break yourself Trump, it's collection day Break yourself DuPont, it's collection day You stole the shit from my great granddaddy anywayThe liquor stores around but they're not selling beer or ale Motherfuckers selling Molotov cocktails To the crew, so light up a brew And this is what is meant by a goddamn coupDJ O, on the cut y'all Ah yes, K-Mack's on the strings, y'all
Это интересно:Communist-influenced, socially conscious hip-hop group from Oakland, California, originally comprised of emcees Boots Riley and E-Roc, and DJ Pam the Funkstress. E-Roc left the group in 1997 to become a longshoreman, but Boots and Pam perservered.The group had a brief moment of worldwide fame at the time of the 9/11 attacks when it was revealed that the proposed cover for their upcoming album Party Music featured Boots blowing up the World Trade Center. This cover was swiftly pulled! It is ironic to note that this discovery was made mere days before the actual attacks.
