These peoples
These peoples
These peoples try to fade
These peoples
These peoples
These peoples try to fade
These peoples
These peoples
These peoples try to fade

(Fade me!)

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

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

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

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

{makes laser gun noises}

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

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

Will flow and/or freak for food (from the music video)

These peoples
These peoples
These peoples try to fade
These peoples
These peoples
These peoples try to fade
These peoples
These peoples
These peoples dropped the BAAEERRRMM

I can flow (one two one two)
I can freak (one two one two)
Uhh... I can freak 'n' flow at the same time

Fun Facts

  • To fade someone is a gambling term meaning to play against that person in a dice game, rather than the house.
    • Also, in the context of hip-hop, 'fade' was originally a gang term to kill someone, although now it can simply mean to put down/disgrace.
  • To dab is to apply with short poking strokes. A dab is also a small flatfish, Limanda limanda.
  • Coach Z pronounced the word "Bomb" as "Baaeerrrmm". This is reminiscent of the toon "The House that Gave Sucky Treats"
  • Some of the laser sounds come in stereo, moving back and forth from left to right speaker.
  • The symbol in the top right-hand corner in the video when Coach Z says "I'm doctor sweet" is a reference to the symbol of the front of the Mötley Crüe album Dr. Feelgood.
