[Boots] 
I used to kick it with a brother named, Moe 
Moe used to kick it with a brother named, Joe 
Joe used to kick it with his girlfriend Lateisha 
whose brother Elmo, looked like me 
Elmo used to elbow lots of brothers in the nose 
Kick em when they down and he'd steal they shoes and clothes 
Elmo would develop lots of beef as a tweaker 
and all of them was mostly come lookin for me 
Imagine that, fat motherfuckers with bats tryin 
to rat pack, hmm, time to get a gat 
So I'm strapped cause I'm trapped like brother Thomas in his fat 
momma's lap, what's happenin here's a rap 
Saturday twelve o'clock, told E-Roc, the whole block 
and what not, about, how men are spottin he said 
"This little homey gets bread like flossin 
You ain't Steve Austin, Elmo got paws in Boots 
Maybe you should move to Boston" 
But you get lost when you play like a punk 
Pile on the Right Guard I got SERIOUS funk 
"I'm trying, not to lose..." 
"I'm trying, not to lose my head..." --> Melle Mel 
(repeat 2X) 
"I plan to tell you what it is later" 
(DJ Pam cuts and scratches)

Bet George and Bootsy, never had funk like this 
catch twenty-two, twist no fist can dismiss this 
rip that I'ma go through, maybe I can flow through 
this whole ordeal and not pull out the black steel 
and my friends make suggestions... 
that I should squeal to the cops but that's out of the question 
If I die by the trigger of a misled brother 
could he be judged by the system that is scared of me and others? 
I believe no, so I don't go, with the flow 
even though I'm bout to roll with no paddle 
up a creek called shit, light is lit on the situation 
Cause me and him is gonna decrease the population 
Now we wonder why our revolution never grow 
Killin motherfuckers just for steppin on our toe 
If we had as much funk for our oppressors as we did 
for ourselves, the blood would never flow again 
And then, the uzis that were once used to kill each other 
Could be used, to serve and protect the brothers 
And the sisters and the cousins or whatever others 
But the funk keeps growing like a fungus... 
"I'm trying, not to lose..." 
"I'm trying, not to lose my head..." --> Melle Mel 
(repeat 2X) 
"That's Elmo, get that fool" "Yeah get that fool" 
"Ay, I'm Boots, I ain't Elmo -- I'm Boots from The Coup!!" 
[Boots] 
Four years til I'm twenty-five, now I got a forty-five 
caliber don't take no jive, just pull to fix 
Don't want to be eighty-sixed, three six and six ain't in my mix 
Don't flap your lips about me takin no, trips 
You won't be takin no sips from a milk carton 
seein my face with a caption, askin 
"Have you seen Boots, he's missing in action" 
This shit is more Off the Wall than Michael Jackson 
Cause brothers who be doin brothers who be doin others 
screwin brothers but The Coup be doin more than shoo-be-doin 
on the corner, talkin revolution from Victoria to Florida 
It's why it don't make sense that they want me a goner 
on a, run cause some brothers in a ratpack think I'm 
poppin junk cause they don't see for centuries 
the genocidal funk so I'm a punk if I don't blast they ass 
But I gots more funk for the rulin class 
Will it ever end, will we ever win, drinkin juice and gin 
Five-oh gets again, gets off with a grin 
National Guard sent in for when we got beef 
You wanna pop the trunk we got serious funk 
"I'm trying, not to lose..." 
"I'm trying, not to lose my head..." --> Melle Mel 
(repeat 4X)

Aight, back it up 
I wanna say whassup to the brothers and sisters that really got my 
back 
when the funk be on 
Of course it goes without saying, that E-Roc and DJO from The Coup 
got my back at all times and at all costs

Osajih Po from the Tenth Planets 
Chuck Da Pharoah got my back 
Evo got my back, Rose got my back 
Niko and the whole Mau Mau Rhythm Collective 
got my back cause I got theirs 
The funk is on, and African Identity is there 
The funk is on and Midnight Voices is there 
The funk is on and T-More and Twin from Elements of Change are there 
And I'm there for Cindy, I'm there for 3rd Rail 
I'm there for Aztlan Nation 
I got your back Leftside Sim 
I got your back Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy cause you got mine 
All y'all got my back, Neckbone got my back with the sax 
Problem Child got my back with the piano 
Aiy y'all let's fade out, but before we fade 
I wanna say rest in peace to Plan B, we out
