Lawlessness, Badlands
Uncivilized — you're a bad man
But even the baddest
Savages eventually get humbled by the averages
Donkey of the day, ass with no pass
Addicted to the screens, screaming for the laughs
What I got to do with you being you?
River deep, mountain high, like the best of your crew
I got the leader of the pack
That don't give a track
About nobody praying
In a whirl they be playing
Why swell your ego to think you gonna
Get away with crime?
Cameras everywhere — this ain't 1985
You got to change your evil way
No gangster — it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil way
What goes up comes back down
Gravity got a way to bring down clowns
Stumbling on the face, tumbled down a staircase
Evil is a terrible waste
Let's go — download this muther for ya
We the roll, baby
Millennial wild, crack-rugged grandchild
Bone-chillin' killers, movie-made matinee thriller
Gun, gun, gun — homie homicide, take a ride
Run, run, run — yo, you cannot hide
From your folly, hello Dolly
Unless you get a pardon
Abide by a law you and I never saw
Let these gangsters out the door
You got to change your evil way
No gangster — it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil ways
Lawlessness, Badlands
Uncivilized — you're a bad man
But even the baddest
Savages eventually get humbled by the averages
Gots the nerve of a red pickup
Truckin' mother
Son of a badass Magger
Hunting down in Badlands
Woke up mad in the mirror
With a bad attitude
Ugly is under that face, my dude
Everything ain't funny
Another slave to the money
Hunted down like a dog now
You're a slave to the runnin'
You got to change your evil way
No gangster — it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil ways
Change your evil ways...

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.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
