The Coup - We Are The Ones lyrics
We, we are the ones
 We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go get yo' guns
 We, we came to fight
 It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite
 We, we are the ones
 We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go get yo' guns
 We, we came to fight
 It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite
 Once upon a time when crack was gold
 And hip-hop was not yet platinum sold
 I scoured the streets for stacks to fold
 My mood like my hair was relaxed and blowed
 I hated police and my teachers were beasts
 My heat in the trunk of the classic Caprice
 The one university, I knew the deal
 So I cooked it, bagged it, put it on sale
 Now philosophically you'd be opposed
 To one inhaling coke via mouth or the nose
 But economically I would propose
 That you go eat a dick as employment froze
 And I felt like an abandoned child
 Left to fend for myself in the wild
 While every courtroom, judge and gavel
 Were there to bury me under the gravel
 Or at the bottom of the finest malt ale
 Observe, you'll find without fail
 That in every neighborhood and penitentiary
 There exists many others who are similar to me and
 We, we are the ones
 We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go get yo' guns
 We, we came to fight
 It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite
 In later years I lost some peers
 Who mixed burners with Belvedere
 And took shots from gung-ho cashiers
 The world was cold yet hell was near
 So I seek for a kilo
 And my stack got a little bit taller like Skee-Lo
 A street C.E.O.
 There was all of this hell well and not one hero
 The intensity was fortified
 As I clenched five digits on the forty-five
 Barely down at the retail store, I would detail more
 But I don't wish this action to be glorified
 There was a plan I was eager to listen
 To not sleep in the park in the fetal position
 Having to wipe off canine fecal emission
 Otherwise I'd survive without legal permission
 It's an equal division and then we go to prisonThe Coup - We Are The Ones - http://motolyrics.com/the-coup/we-are-the-ones-lyrics.html
 Which is a little decision
 All I wanted was a Regal to glisten
 And my kids would have meat in the kitchen
 And complete ammunition
 It's a given once the people are driven that
 We, we are the ones
 We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go, get yo' guns
 We, we came to fight
 It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 We are born from the mildew, the rust, the heathenous lust
 The dreams in the dust, the evidence flushed
 The grieving is just, they're thieving from us
 Insulted and cussed, this evening we bust
 Appears unstable and under the table
 We like free speech but we love free cable
 We're taught from the cradle, the Bill Gates fable
 Which leads to high speeds in Buick LeSables
 We have no excuses just great alibis
 And poker faces you can't analyze
 Our politicians sell our soul and our cries
 With blood on their hands, they can't sanitize
 We're the have-nots but we're also the gon'-gets
 Not just talkin' 'bout the Lex with the chrome kits
 You can get that by yourself with the four-fifth
 Let's all own shit then toast with Patron hits
 We, we are the ones
 We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go, get yo' guns
 We, we came to fight
 It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite
 We, we are the ones
 We'll seal your fate, tear down your state, go, get yo' guns
 We, we came to fight
 It's yo' disgrace, smash up your place, that's just polite
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
 Get your work up, get your work up
