[Boots Riley]
|
Don't call it a comeback! I been here for years
|
Rockin my peers and puttin suckers in fear
|
Makin the tears, rain down like a mon-SOON!
|
Listen to the bass go boom!
|
Explosion! Overpowerin
|
Over the competition, I'm towerin
|
Wreckin shop, when I drop
|
these lyrics that'll make you call the cops
|
Don't you dare, stare
|
You better move! Don't ever compare
|
me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
|
Competition's payin the price
|
|
[Chorus: repeat 4X]
|
I'm gonna knock you out, momma said knock you out
|
|
[Boots Riley]
|
Don't you call this, a regular jam
|
I'm gonna rock this land
|
I'm gonna take this itty bitty world by storm
|
And I'm just gettin warm
|
Just like Muhummad Ali they called him Cassius
|
Watch me bash this
|
beat like a skull; cause you know I had beef with
|
Why do you riff with me? The maniac psycho
|
And when I pull out my jammy get ready
|
cause it might go BLAOW! How you like me now?
|
The rhythm will not allow
|
you to get with.. Mr. Smith, don't riff
|
Listen to my gears shift
|
I'm blastin, outlastin
|
Kinda like (Shaft), so you could say I'm shaftin
|
Olde English filled my mind
|
And I came up with a funky rhyme!!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[guitar solo from Mr. Morello]
|
|
[Boots Riley]
|
Shotgun blasts are heard
|
When I rip and kill, at, will
|
The man of the hour, tower of power
|
I'll devour
|
I'm gonna tie you up and make you understand
|
that I'm not yo' average man
|
when I got a jammy in my hand
|
DAMN!!!!!!
|
OOOOOH
|
Listen to the way I slay, yo' crew
|
DAMAGE, DAMAGE, DAMAGE, DAMAGE
|
Destruction, terror, and mayhem
|
Pass me a sissy soft sucker I'll slay him
|
Oakland... L.A... Oakland, Oakland!!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Boots Riley]
|
I don't think they can handle this
|
I don't think they know what to do
|
You just got the motherfuckin shit knocked outta ya
|
Just let that shit rock one more time, let's do it!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Boots Riley]
|
You have just been rocked, by the Street Sweeper Social Club
|
We're more than a band, we're a motherfuckin social club!
|
[crowd noise to end, some dude says "Let's be Facebook friends!"]
