The Coup - Tiffany Hall lyrics

[Chorus]

Tiffany Hall

It appears we didn't know you at all

Hey hey hey hey hey

With this song I write your name on the wall

Tiffany Hall

It appears we didn't know you at all

Hey hey hey hey hey

With this song I write your name on the wall

Tiffany Hall

[Boots]

You was all smiles and no games

Teeth white as cocaine

Dark skin, knew about the struggle and the dope game

Quick to spark a convo into flames like propane

Filled the air, and I was thrilled you cared

In summer bridgd hiding from the tutors

Bumpin gums about the future

You said that one day we'd be ruled by computers

I said, "It's like that now cause we all machines"

And you replied, "But I'm a robot with dreams"

Which I thought was clean

And all the fellas used to talk about ya

How you had a joyful aura and a walk about ya

Necessitated by a beautiful backside

We thought you was fine

And we didn't let the facts hide

Nevertheless we would call you "waddle waddle"

Somebody shoulda slapped us with an old hot water bottle

Could called you "talky talky" or nothing at all

I was crushed when I got the call

[Chorus]

[Boots]

You had warmth and sincerity, a heart with no barriers

A laugh that made slightly funny turn hilarious

While everybody else mouthed off about answers

You get up and started workin with some ex-Black Panthers

Leadin campaigns and writin in they newspaper

You always seemed happy, an idea that I would lose later

We would see each other sayin stay in touch

But I was just like you - always busy, in a rush

Told yo' mama I was writin this, she said it was blessin

I'm just chantin your name out loud and confessin

That maybe I was part of your demise

You want and got liposuction on your ass and thighs

Came straight home as you bled that evenin

Bloodclots from the operation stopped you from breathin

Your shape was great if I may say so, way before J-Lo

Whoever told you it wasn't had horns not a halo

Or is it just that your behind was up to discuss?

Cause as a man, mine ain't talked about much

Dear Tiff, I wish the world wasn't missin ya vision

Sincerely, one mo' robot with a dream and a vision

[Chorus]

Hey Tiffany! We love you! {*8X*}
