Ass-breath Killers Lyrics - Singles - The Coup

Why-why-why-you've got ass breath! 

{*scratched: "And now a word from our sponsor"*} 

You've got ass breath! You've got ass breath! 

You've got ass breath! {*"A word from our sponsor"*} 

[Boots] 

Some confuse ass-breath for strong halitosis 

It's been hundreds of years since the first diagnosis 

By the African doctor Mawangi Misoi 

Known in the states as Mr. Thomas' boy 

He found that preventing this affliction was lost 

With the mention of the phrase, "Um yessir boss!" 

When that phrase was uttered many stomachs would wrench 

Some jumped in the Atlantic to escape the stench 

He know that ass-breath came from kissin ass a lot 

To be the boss's knight-in-armor like Lancelot 

Doctor Misoi years later, before he was hanged 

Developed pills with the taste, of lemon merengue 

Made from ground gunpowder, of Haitian slaves 

And swept from Seminoles who just wouldn't behave 

He tested first on young Nat from the Turner plantation 

Then sent a batch off to the French speakin nation 

It should also be noted a bottle of it was found 

In the clenched dead hand of the white John Brown 

Everytime it went 'round new people would find it 

They would take their essence, put it in and grind it 

In Russia, Africa, Asia too 

Mao Tse-Tung made the flavors new 

In Cuba, the people make new shipments 

Of this pill that is on the FDA shit-list 

That is not recommended, to take befo' dinner 

When supervisin Presidents and such type sinners 

Take this pill and say what you wish you said 

It hardens backbones, they might wish you dead 

And it's not to be confused with courage juice 

Which we drank in chains and we still ain't loose 

These pills really should be taken in groups 

Cause ass-breath motherfuckers move with troops 

MLK took half a pill, procrastinatin 

Once he took a whole pill, they assassinate him 

Take Ass-Breath Killers, to really get down 

Wherever rocks, fire, and struggle are found 

[singers] 

When it's time to speak up and you can't make a sound 

Take the pills that'll make you kick the king in his crown 

Take Ass-Breath Killers, to really get down 

Wherever rocks, fire, and struggle are found 

"Dr. Misoi's Ass-Breath Killers" 

"You've got ass-breath" {*4X*}

[Boots] 

So you done took the pill, is it workin yet? 

(Nah; man is yours workin yet?) 

I think mine is about to start workin now 

There it goes 

"Hey what are you guys supposed to be doin?"
