The Coup
"Tiffany Hall"

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

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 bridged 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
Coulda called you "talky talky" or nothing at all
I was crushed when I got the call

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

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' for 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 a blessin'
I'm just chantin' your name out loud and confessin'
That maybe I was part of your demise
You went and got liposuction on your ass and thighs

Came straight home and as you slept that evening
Blood clots 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

Tiffany Hall, it appears we didn't know you at all
