The Magic Clap Lyrics & Chords By The Coup

Come on, kids
Gather 'round
Listen up
The magic clap

M-A-G-I-C-C-L-A-P, let's go
M-A-G-I-C-C-L-A-P, let's do it
Clap, magic clap
Clap, magic clap

It's like a hot wire, baby
When we put it together
When the sparks fly
We'll ignite the future forever

This is the last kiss
Martin ever gave to Coretta
It's like a paparazzi picture
When I flash my Beretta

I got scars on my back
The truth on my tongue
I had the money in my hand
When that alarm got rung

We wanna breathe fire
And freedom from our lungs
Tell Homeland Security
We are the bomb

Clap, magic clap
Clap, magic clap

Hurry up, get in, close the do'
This here the meeting for the overthrow
Waiting on that concrete rose to grow
Doing lines that ain't quotable

Counting up all that dough you owe
You ain't s'posed to know its opposable
We are not disposable
Muscle up kid, we got blows to throw

Till the folks have risen there'll be no decision
We make the motor move, they chauffeur driven
Right now we can't shine right like a broken prism
I figured out the fourteenth is a broke amendment

Clap, magic clap
Clap, magic clap

Good evening, tonight we bring to you
Worn out streets that'll sing to you
.45 shells that'll dance to the beats
Stomachs so loud, it'll cancel the speech

Checks that vanish if you blink an eye
Grace getting locked in the clink to die
A salary cap on a birth certificate
Notarized lies that burst in triplicate

Morning prayers for the car to start
A man and a whiskey in a heart to heart
Hope in a track suit to flash and run
While agony chases with a badge and gun

Poetry shouted from the squeal of the bus breaks
Hands in the air try to feel for an escape
Flash in my eyes like candid snaps
When we slap back, it's the magic clap

C'mon do it
C'mon do it
C'mon do it
C'mon do it, magic clap
