(hey, how are you guys fixing to pay? )
Verse one: (? )
Now check it, the topic of discussion
Is more than a financial profit
United snakes wont stop it
Blow for blow, the flow with the commentary gets
Seventy-six septillion tons a-spinnin
[steady steppin into a new phase
New thoughts representing our slavery days]
The seeds of weeds and crops is much more than you figure
Yo if hes a black man he must be a nigger
They make a gimmick I wouldnt doubt
[a sucker selling out for the sake of a scream and shout]
Elements dont grow with nonsense
Rather kick a little bit of science
[science about controlling actions of another
America was built on the sweat of black sisters and brothers]
Never allowed to breathe but allowed to bleed and breed
[stripped of our creed and religion surviving on intuition]
And what the master said give em
[and besides the black man is the original lord of the land]
So Im clenching my right hand
[brothers and sisters we must fight this slumlord]
Overlord of the concrete jungle but Im humble
As I witness my opponent crumble
Like the shack that I live in the house that I rent from him
[roach infested Im sure that the rats are nesting
The heat doesnt work he still hasnt checked it
Disrespected me for the last time
I loaded up the nine stepping double time
Bullseye]
Another point scored
Right between the eyes of my landlord
Verse two: defrost
They tell me to hold my peace but I just cant
But Im defrost of the rap group of point blank
So me Im chilling at the table
The lyrics KILL MY LANDLORD of THE COUP is also present in the album Kill my landlord (1993)
The Coup è un gruppo musicale di hip hop politico statunitense originario di Oakland, California. Fondato nel 1991 da Raymond "Boots" Riley (voce) e Eric "E-Roc" Davis (rap), il gruppo ha subito una significativa evoluzione nel corso degli anni. Dopo l'uscita di E-Roc dopo il secondo album, la formazione si è stabilizzata con l'aggiunta della DJ Pam the Funkstress. The Coup è noto per le sue canzoni politicamente impegnate che affrontano temi come razzismo, capitalismo e oppressione sociale. Il loro stile musicale combina elementi di funk, jazz e rock, creando un suono unico e riconoscibile. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Me and My Girlfriend" (dal disco "Kill My Landlord"), "Party Music" (dall'album "Steal This Album!") e "The Bomb" (dal disco "Pick a Bigger Weapon"). L'importanza storica di The Coup risiede nella loro capacità di combinare musica d'avanguardia con un messaggio politico incisivo, influenzando generazioni di artisti hip hop impegnati socialmente.
