Clap For The Killers Lyrics

Now can you clap for the killers? Give it up for them gangsters
One time for the killers, double up for them gangsters
Well, I wrote this for criminals but all of y'all should listen at me
Now if you ever catch me snitchin' just haul off and slap me
They on the other team, let's rumble, is my thoughts exactly
They work for gangsters and they whacked Fred Hampton Jr.'s pappy
Ay playboy, pop 'em with a pistol and get executed
Ay mama, murder 'em with missiles and you get saluted
Go head and gank 'em for a grand its DNA computed
But bankers bathe in the Bahamas off of billions looted
Now can you clap? Now can you clap?
Now can you clap for them killers? Give it up for them gangsters
One time for the killers, double up for them gangsters
Well, I wrote this for criminals but they the ones who wrote the laws
They ain't on TV gettin' arrested all up in their draws
They stick their hands up politicians make 'em move their jaws
And they be starvin' folks for bread until their breath pause
Ay, take a memo money penny, say the deed is done

And you can Bcc DC and say our leaders won
But first we fax the photograph of the opponent's son
Adjust the image 'cause it's hard to see the gag and gun
Now can you clap? Now can you clap?
Now can you clap? Now can you clap?
Now can you clap for them killers? Give it up for them gangsters
One time for the killers, double up for them gangsters
Well, I wrote this for gangsters
While I sprinted through your backyard
Not for them Coppola criminals, they just act hard
Tony Montana had a stylist and a SAG card
When he reloaded slaves forgot they had back scars
Ay mister DeNiro, what kind of gun is that?
Can you look more like a menace? Take two now run it back
Ay, so what Scorsese got all them money stacks
Long as his lens never looks at the real maniacs
Clap for them killers? Give it up for them gangsters
One time for the killers, double up for them gangsters
Can you clap for them killers? Give it up for them gangsters
One time for the killers, double up for them gangsters

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Street Sweeper Social Club

Street Sweeper Social Club is an American rock band consisting of Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave) and Boots Riley (The Coup). Stanton Moore (Galactic) performed drums on their upcoming album. Their first known performance as "Street Sweeper" was at the Commodore Ballroom (2008-11-06), where they played a song called 100 Little Curses.

They have recorded their first album Street Sweeper Social Club, which was released on June 16th on East West Records.

- 'It's revolutionary party jams' says Tom Morello 'It's got huge steamroller riffs combined with depth, charge, funk, while Boots unloads clip after clip of incendiary rhymes rich with satire and venom'.

Riley added, - 'This is a time when the working class is being fleeced left and right. More families will be homeless and more people will be jobless. They'll need something to listen to on their ipods while storming Wall Street...'

Their official web site: http://streetsweepersocialclub.com/, features a track called Paper Planes

"The Ghetto Blaster EP" is an EP from Street Sweeper Social Club. The EP is released on August 10, 2010. It features covers of "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. and "Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J as well a remix of the bands second single "Promenade". They will also cover The Coup song "Everythang". It has also been confirmed that the full touring band has recorded on the album. Tom Morello spoke on the new EP in a press release, saying that they are shooting for an interesting combination of groups. "On The Ghetto Blaster EP we were shooting for a combo of the first Clash record and the Ohio Players greatest hits, interwoven with tractor trailer size riffs of course. This record definitely has more of a 'band' feel than the first, and Boots’ lyrics and delivery have never been sharper." Boots Riley has also said of the upcoming EP “We got a new EP that’s going to come out called The Ghetto Blaster EP. [You can expect] hard, hard, hard music and some raw as lyrics on top.”
