These peoples<br>
These peoples<br>
These peoples try to fade<br>
These peoples<br>
These peoples<br>
These peoples try to fade<br>
These peoples<br>
These peoples<br>
These peoples try to fade

(Fade me!)

These peoples try to fade me!<br>
(I can't handle it!)<br>
C-c-c-call me on my cell phone!<br>
(I get busy!)<br>
These peoples try to fade me!<br>
(I can't handle it!)<br>
C-c-c-call me on my cell phone!<br>
(I get busy!)

Coach Z's got money, but not much<br>
Coach Z's got money, but not much<br>
Coach Z's got money, but not much<br>
I could use a dollar, I could use a couple bucks

I'm so oldschool (one two one two)<br>
They tore the school down! (one two one two)<br>
Where my lasers at?<br>
Where my lasers at, y'all? <br>
Where my lasers at? (Where my lasers at?)<br>
Where my lasers at, y'all?

Where my lasers at?<br>
All the peoples try to tell me where my lasers at<br>
And your mother tried to show me all the laser crabs<br>
And I got a bunch of types, a bunch of laser dabs

''{makes laser gun noises}''

These peoples try to fade me!<br>
(I can't handle it!)<br>
C-c-c-call me on my cell phone!<br>
(I get busy!)<br>
These peoples try to fade me!<br>
(I can't handle it!)<br>
C-c-c-call me on my cell phone!<br>
(I get busy!)

I got to see the sweet doctor! (I'm Dr. Sweet!)<br>
I got to see the sweet doctor! (I'm Dr. Sweet!)<br>
I got the grown-up beats! (I'm Dr. Sweet!)<br>
I got the grown-up beats! (I'm Doctor-doctor-doctor Beats!)

Uhh... I can freak and flow at the same time

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*In the context of hip-hop, "fade" was originally a gang term to kill someone, although now it can simply mean to put down or disgrace.
*To dab is to apply with short poking strokes.  A dab is also a small flatfish, ''Limanda limanda'', also known as the [[Wikipedia:common dab|common dab]].
=== Trivia ===
*Some of the laser sounds come in stereo, moving back and forth from left to right speaker.
*This was the first entry to appear on [[Podstar Runner]] that is not featured on the official Homestar Runner website.  The summary read, "Coach Z drops science, but not much."
=== Inside References ===
*This song was mentioned several times before it was released:
**In [[new hands]], Coach Z tries to sing his song with the help of [[Strong Bad]], who drops a beat for him with one of his new hands (a bucket).
**In [[Coach Z#Character Video Transcript|Coach Z's Character video]], Coach Z closes his video by trying to sing ''These peoples try to fade me'', only to have the camera stop recording before the first line.
**One of the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[Scroll Button Songs#SB-2003-05-19|scroll button songs]] has Coach Z saying "And if you're tryin' to fade me then ya must [[Smoking|smoke]] [[Drugs|crack]]."
*Coach Z pronounces the word "Bomb" as "Baaeerrrmm". This is reminiscent of the toon [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Coach Z's sign reads "WiLL FLOW AND/OR FREAK FOR FOOD", and in the recording booth, the light reads "ON AiR", both containing [[lowercase i's]].
=== Real-World References ===
*The symbol in the top right-hand corner in the video when Coach Z says "I'm Dr. Sweet" resembles the  [[Wikipedia:caduceus|caduceus]], a symbol of commerce which is often mistakenly used in place of the [[Wikipedia:Rod of Asclepius|Rod of Asclepius]], the symbol of medicine.
