Shocklee - Sadler - Ridenhour
Runnin' for your life, by the knife
Runnin' from your wife ... yipes
You should've stuck with home
Your mind to blow your dome
It was you that chose your due
You built a maze you can't get through
I tried to help you all I can
Now I can't do nuttin' for you man
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
You got all these people on your back now
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
Flavor flav got problems of his own
I can't do nuttin' for you man
Go lean on shells answer man
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
You jumped out of the jelly into a jam
Make ya love the wrong instead of right
Not a thief cat burglar through the night
Cop told your girl her name was Shirl
About a rooftop crime to steal her pearls
Oozy down the bullets in the gun
Just microwave themselves a ton
The you tried to help them all they can
But they couldn't do nuttin' for ya man
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
They couldn't do nuttin' for ya man
Flavor Flav is the sun
Public Enemy number one
Gotcha runnin' from the gun (pow)
Of a brain that weighs a ton
Can't face my facts that's on the shelf
Cause you want a hand out for your wealth
Eatin' welfare turkey out of the can
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
You want six dollars for what?
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
You better man kiss my but
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
I'm busy tryin' to do for me
I can't do nuttin' for ya man
That's the way the ball bounces gee
Bass for your face, kick that shit

Public Enemy è un gruppo hip-hop statunitense formatosi nel 1982 a Long Island, New York. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della storia del genere, sono noti per il loro approccio politico e sociale al rap, con testi che denunciano il razzismo sistemico e le ingiustizie sociali. Influenzati da artisti come Curtis Mayfield e Gil Scott-Heron, Public Enemy ha portato avanti la tradizione del 'message music' incorporando elementi di funk, jazz e rock nella loro musica. Il gruppo è composto principalmente da Chuck D (voce), Flavor Flav (co-voci e percussioni) e Professor Griff (consulente politico). Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Fight the Power", "Bring the Noise" e "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos". Public Enemy ha pubblicato numerosi album di successo, tra cui "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" (1988) e "Fear of a Black Planet" (1990), entrambi considerati capolavori del genere. Il loro impatto culturale è stato enorme, contribuendo a definire l'hip-hop come forza politica e sociale.
