"My Murder, My Love" by The Coup from the new album 'Sorry To Bother You.' http://www.anti.com/store

Lyrics:

well, i've spoke the name of the lord in vain

in gunpowder and flame

and I've vomited slang in porcelain

and then claimed it was champagne

and i can rhyme silk with cigarettes

i can rhyme Jack Daniels with triumph

but no sentence i could spit could've shifted events

in the back of that plymouth reliant

and philosophy

is calculated to be worth its weight in air

but the way you told me to fuck myself

well, the words had a certain flair

i hope he fits the tux

i am just a man in flux

let me clarify things with the way I strut

so i can shout with my mouth shut

my murder, my love

what were the cookies made of?

my murder, my sweet

what kind of pill did we eat?

the machinery of lamps in the sky tonight

unfurl above electric lies of light

c'mon grip me tight against the wall

where the cusswords, piss, and masterpiece fight

i'm alive (through the power of explosion:

colt 45 and a busted trojan)

motion is evidence of belief

especially with the world's most beautiful slogan

applause from the mannequins should be ignored

look for the harmony of pen and sword

statues of our heroes turn to dust

we sing

to snort the dust up off the floor

i hope he fits the tux

even mountains are in flux

let us clarify things with the way we strut

so we can shout with our mouths shut

Statues of our heroes turn to dust. That's modern America. The whole :"competition" paradigm has turned into turds. Somebody wake us up.

I read somewhere that Huey Freeman is based on Boots Riley. Makes sense. What's Huey's little brother's name? Riley.

Boots Reily is what would happen if Huey Freeman grew up and started rapping.
