Boots Riley - ShoYoAss lyrics

[Hook 1: repeat 2X] Now's the time for you to show yo' a** They ain't handing out no mo' cash Mommas imitate my logo fast Daddies take the safety off and blast [Verse 1: Boots] Now this is mo' mean than fo' fiends with Glocks unloading Scrapping for a bag of gold rings and codeine Whole life savings hid under the molding "Mama Said Knock Them Out" and I'm quoting You're voting, which you're hoping Will stop the guns from smoking Is someone f**ing joking? They're bankers in sheep's clothing I know places where the kids keep croaking Lacking the essential vitamins and protein Hustling and hyphy are eloping I'm the best man busting shots and toasting Sipping Grey Goose get clipped off the bird Come Sunday morning get tripped off the word TV and them preachers got pimp talking verbs Setting us up to get ripped off and stirred You flipped all them birds so your funds act right Here come the drought whole thang's half price My high school career counselor's advice: "Lil' n***as act nice for your beans and rice" I got some light baby, take it to the head Who gives a f** if it's permed or dreads Never snitch to the locals or the feds See they tryna break us so they don't have to break bread Cause Uncle Sam ain't the baker, he's the butcher We all on "Punk'd" with no Ashton Kutcher We're ballin' (no broke) cutthroats kaput ya Ain't never took dope but them dopes done took ya Stop flying Ol' Glory man, cut it down If your job ain't paying right, shut it down If your car got 18's, let it pound And if we ever gon' do it let's do it now [Hook 1] [Verse 2: Boots] You're in a system where they flirt with disaster Tongue kiss d**h, have ma** murder orgies 'til there's no one left They're finger-f**ing Lady Liberty under her dress And since I didn't say this under my breath I might be under arrest; now lemme introduce My slave name's Ray Riley, you can call me Boots Cause we gon' boot 'em outta power then spread the loot We need to drive that freedom train, not ride caboose And you can tell by the way I walk my walk That there's a coroner behind me holding chalk Cause he works for the county who works for the state Who works for the boss man eating off your plate We ain't one dimensional, max-detentional Looking for the liquor store, what them hubbas hitting fo'? We raised by the street light, praised for the street fight Days we ain't eat right, hazed to complete life Had to make homes outta muck and dirt Just to get dinner take luck and work They don't read me my rights, they induct a curse So you're cordially invited to go buck berzerk and um [Hook 1] [Hook 2: repeat 2x] The block is heated; baby, yeah A hundred Fahrenheit Act a fool, show yo' a** Let's make it alright [Boots - repeat 4X] It's introduction of a new breed of leaders Stand up organize [Hook 2]
