The shipment


Chorus: boots (repeat 2x)

It aint indonesia, china white
Purple-haired thai, big h delight
Take my shit we gon have to fight
Im always rollin dirty so be actin right

[boots]
Im bombing uppercut swipes as my knuckles ignire
More strikes than a teachin staffs fight for pay hikes
Like cleats wit spikes I clings to my turf tight
Get, low like a smurf might earth is my birthright
You salivate at the sound of the bell
I come sick and make your lymph nodes swekk
Nickel-plated teeth and tongue as well so you can tell
When Im shootin off my mouth the politicians start to bail
When I shoot, fuhrman scoot Im yellin, gimme all the loot!
Bourgeoise pimpin me now my digits dont compute
Chillin in a house of ill repute
But is you wearin canvasols or purple-pinstripe suits?
Fact of earth and comets: macroeconomics
Yak until you vomit, or come up on a lick
Sweat oozin my skin just to get another fin
Changed my name to valerie so I can get wic
Savage storm troopers be less than seducive
Jailtime producin, silly lilliputians!
This gulliver, come equipped with a fo-fo
And twelve comrades in a box chev fo do
Skirtin down the strip with a mission to render
And we dont give a fuck if we missin a fender
Mix it in a blender, you aint home return to sender
Cant be saved by cokenders or a public defender
This aint no macrobiotic chemical colonic
This politicalsymphoniclyricalnarcotic
Somethin much mo potent that we plotted
Come and get some, if you aint got it

Chorus

[boots]
Ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-exhilirating!
I accuse you of nigga-hating!
And exploitating for profit making.. dont cop a plea
Cause Im b-double-o-t, from the c-o-u the p
I feel my epedermis at its firmest just befo a skirmish
If you want green like kermit keep it heated like a thermos
Aspired to be famous, puttin fire in their anus
Made the rulin class hate us more than child sup-port payments
To rosemarys baby, shick-a-shick-shady!!
Pissin in your gumbo and they tell you, its all gravy!
See you cant trust a big grip and a smile
And I slang rocks - but palestinian style
Now theres a rumble in the jungle never mumble though I humble
Couple rappers took a tumble but my folks still want to rumble
Whos pimpin, your bundle? Im _fly_ like, seth brundle
If youre snitchin to columbo we gon drop you like a fumble
Now what you make is point-oh-one percent of what the boss make
And what the boss take is keepin us from livin great
If this aint straight you think you wanna sit down and negotiate
You better have a crew to help you shutdown his estate
Dont get frustrated, discombobulated
Dont stand and debate it, get a mob and take it!
Til then its food stamps, vouchers, mildew-smellin couches
Overturned garbage cans wit no oscar the grouches
Makin money sellin plastic pouches
As mystikal would say, my flo is covered wit roaches!
Absotively, posolutely, cant do without it
The shipment is delivered, come and get it if you bout it!

Chorus

[bridge]
Systematic playa-hation
Green paper complications
Got my ass an education
Can I get an application? ?

[boots]
Pam the funkstress

* pam cuts n scratches prince: thank you for a funky time.. *

[boots]
Its kinda funky..
Mat machine-gun kelly!

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
