Where it all started:

LEP quickly established a respectable name for themselves. They had an undeniable stage presence at local shows an took no prisoners in any rap battle or free style cipher. At the time LEP consist of two talented emcees emerging from Chicago's deadly Ickies projects. Count 1 half of LEP was know as the muscle and stick up man with the ability to verbally strong arm or lyrically rob even assassinate any one that stood in his way. Larro or "Lil Lar" to most made up the other half. He was known as the street hustler with a "by any means necessary" intense delivery and menacing swagg. The streets consider them as the quintessence of what the hood represents in Chicago, an thus eagerly embraced them.

While LEP was enjoying there new found celebrity, Moonie who happen to be the 1st official artist to signed to Infared Music Group, would spend epic days and nights in the studio. At this time Rugg who is a family member of count’s would also come by and participate in countless rap battles and free style show downs. Though LEP was an establish group with a large street following, healthy competition had them all working on solo projects, which intern created the development of The Bogus Boys.

TUFF TIMES:
2001 brought much trial an tribulations to the LEP BOGUS BOYS family, Ronald “Law” Colverson tragically lost his life in the deadly streets of Chicago. Meanwhile Moonie was serving time in the state penitentiary. With vital members gone the LEP BOGUS BOYS had lost the momentum they had worked so hard for.

Upon Moonie's release, E was determined to put the company back together an achieve success. Just as things where coming together The LEP BOGUS BOYS family would take yet another major loss. In 2006 Laronson “Larro” Kellum also tragically lost his life to the deadly streets of Chicago.

THE REBIRTH:
Thou these heart wrenching lost may have stopped most people, The LEP BOGUS BOYS used there music as away to shed light on the harsh realities of how diabolical the streets can be. The LEP BOGUS BOYS have shown that gangbang music doesn’t always mean you promote violence, but they do however, maintain consistency in communicating through their lyrics that they are from the streets and have lived through the tough crime life.

The LEP BOGUS BOYS exemplifies the fact that all regions of America have had their chance to shine and now its Chicago’s and the Midwest's turn to make their mark in hip hop.

(C Murder)

Sometimes I think the Lord is testing me

don't want to go to jail

I'm tired of getting arrested G

I know i'm spitting when i'm sell crack

but to a young nigga like me

a G ain't no turning back

trying to settle down is hopeless

when a nigga and a old lady and a baby

I can't cope with it

a chance is something that I never had

I'm standing on this corner

I got my rocks in a skittles bag

can't make a move without my boy

I wear a bulletproof vest

and watch my back because i'm paranoid

you know the ghetto is a trap

i'm not Tupac but these jealous niggas got me strapped

raise like a criminal but born a bastard

visions of a jail or a grave

a closed clasket

reminizing about my murder friends

but i'm proud of selling drugs

providing my family with these dividends

my nose bad nigga like a rock star

tired of swolling dope

everytime I see a cop car

can't leave this spot

till all my fuckin crack gone

six rocks never asked the Lord to let me make it home

cause i'm a nigga on the run

if you talk that shit

i'm going to have to get my damn gun

cause I can't take no chances

either me or you going to die

i guess that will be your last dance

Chorus (Master P)

your 187 dance, 187 dance, this will be your last dance, 187 dance, 187 dance,

fool this will be your last dance, last call for alcohol, I mean blood's spill

on the wall

(Master P)

Blood on my palm

and I pack a glock

for these suckers and bitches tryin to bet me on my fuckin rock spot

(Mia X)

But Mia X got your back P

cause ain't no bitch nor these kince

aren't ever going to fade me

(Master P)

And if you step to us killers

then you dead

cause I sleep with a HK

Tre-8 then missed it in for red

(Mia X)

Another braud ass nigga

on this back then if it is on your mind

then we got this second line in for you

(Master P)

In for you

what about you and you

don't fuck with my crew

cause i'll do your hoe too

bust caps on whoever, whenever, however, wherever

(Mia X)

So the crowd better start ducking

cause these No Limit TRU Soldiers

still ain't finish fuckin busting

(Master P)

Won't leave no witneses to talk about it

Mr. Serv-On got life insurance

and i'm bout it bout it

(Mia X)

Now don't talk about the way we do this

and bitches think they prepared to do this

prepare to eat some bullets

(Master P)

So come dance with the devil with the gold teeth

ain't no butterflying on the floor

but may you rest in peace

Chorus

(C-Murder)

I'm waking up in cold sweats

I just realized

It wasn't a dream

I shot that fool in the drive by

another victim of the dope game

that nigga tried to rob me off my heroin and coccaine

a lot of pride

a lot of heart

so how you figure

my rep was on the line

of course i had to kill that nigga

crepped up on him playing basketball

rolled down the window

and I shot that bitch with my soud off

i'm kind of crazy you can't get me

a lot of niggas scared to stand in the same room with me

I'm bout the dope pushing money grope

just got out of jail

and already back slanging dope

my daddy wasn't there for me G

and my mom left me in the house abonded at the age of three

so don't ask me why i'm heartless son

cause I was raised by some killers

so i guess I gots to be one

I'm down for whatever

murder, selling drugs, and robbery in any kind of weather

my girl said i won't live long

i'm sick because I itilize Scarface and Al Kapone

Won't none of these niggas don't understand me

Master P, King George, and Silkk and Cali G

so don't fuck with TRU man

and if you do

this will be your last dance

Chorus

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to L.E.P. Bogus Boys’ song Last Dance depict the harsh reality of life in the ghetto, specifically in relation to the drug game. The singer, C Murder, feels as though he is constantly being tested by God and struggles with the desire to leave the drug game and avoid going back to jail. He explains that settling down and leading a normal life isn’t possible due to his past and current involvement in the drug trade. He reminisces about friends he’s lost to murder, but feels proud to be providing for his family through selling drugs. The chorus, sung by Master P, warns that those who mess with them will have their “last dance” and will end up dead, emphasizing the violent nature of life in the hood.

The lyrics demonstrate a sort of hopelessness and resignation to a fate of either ending up dead or in jail, with no escape from the cycle of poverty and violence in the inner city. The singers’ lives are dictated by their environment, with no real hope for a better future. The lyrics also touch on themes of loyalty and brotherhood among those who face similar struggles, as the singers frequently refer to their “crew” and their willingness to protect one another at all costs.
