Coup, The

Sneakin' In

Coup, The


[Boots] 
How we gon' get in for free? 
Now, I calculate the beatin for approximated speakin 
Play it at your party for intoxicated freakin 
One for the motherfuckers at the par-ty 
Two for the DJ's bumpin this for me 
Three for the girls with the fake ID 
and a pound if you snuck through the back for free 
See sneakin into shit probably always been my hobby 
1985, in the Henry J. lobby 
Ten bones for the Fresh Fest to me was like robbery 
Tennis shoes squeakin -- security tried to mob me 
People screamin so loud, they lungs got broke when 
$hort grabbed the mic and started yellin out, "OAKLAND!" 
Not the type of brother that's hard with a death wish 
but one thing that I'll die for is bein on the guest list 
I'm talkin bout a pissyfit, sayin loud explicit shit 
"Can't you read my name motherfucker; ain't you literate?!?!!" 
I be sayin this even if it ain't legitimate 
Although it ain't considerate, I get in with no scrilla spent 
Caught the 57 bus to the Coliseum 
Run-D.M.C. and LL, gotta see em 
Negotiatin with a guard out by the trailer 
Me and twenty potnahs got in for a Taylor 
Later in the game shit was much more elaborate 
Motherfuckers rocked the spot, with fake laminate 
Show em to security, and it was like BAM! 
On stage with Ice Cube at the Summer Jam 
I'm not a fronter and, this ain't a cover band 
I'm always givin you the really and no other than 
Alameda Drive-In, didn't wanna pay a buck 
Five motherfuckers layin flat, in the mini-truck 
Used to sneak in to the Eastmont Cinemas 
Through the exit, sometimes about ten of us 
But you know, I guess it was so easy 
cause they playin movies that's already on TV 
Most of them flicks I can't recommend 
But back then, half the fun was sneakin in 
See me in the alley, but nah I ain't no crack hoe 
I'm waitin for my folks to open up the back do'
