Verse 1: chuck d
All I wanna do is get paid back
For all that time I spent in the back
Livin in shacks, fillin up sacks of cotton
Now its what we fought, youre makin six packs
Theres some got our hope out of control
Of my soul, pass the ol gold
Behold the pale horse, supreme court
Sweatin niggas like sports
Hunt a nigga for sport
See a nigga play sports, no support
On the outside lookin in
If thats whats up then I aint never been in style then
Everything is anything, anything is upbeat of nothing
Once again, poisoned from the paper and pen
You better defend that bullshit on the other end
Fuck your own thing, if your own things the wrong thing
Fuck dem chicken wings
Last able man standing
Follow what? I aint understanding
Whats better to understand then be misunderstood?
Cos the fbi is up to no good
Power to the peeps who come with their own drum
And dont end up like sheep
(*kill!*) (*kill em live!*)
*repeat x3*
Verse 2: chuck d
Mad heads confused by the isms
Bustin caps incoginisms
Phone taps, makin sure they record ya
>from my midnight plane to georgia, uhh
Ancient to ? ? ? ? player
The life giver, the name take-awayer
Propaganda cant gasp the last man standing
Assassinate all the plannin
Get wreck, what you see is what you get
To plunder more stars than trek
21st century robin hood
I guess the politics are robbin hoods
Fuck the government cos you know that I would
Cos the fbi is up to no good
Power to the peeps who come with their own drum
And dont end up like sheep
(*kill!*) (*kill em live!*)
*repeat x5*
Verse 3: chuck d
Be a bitch is a foreign crime
Engine, engine number 9
Engineerin monopolies, triggers and uninsured jalopys
Catchin more lock than companies
Engineerin opinion and policies
Herd following like sheep
Following of the sheep will be sheep
Based on what they heard from their peeps, uhh
Able to straddle quick beats without a battle
Politician assassinated
Rappers get shot, quote chris rock
To have, to have not is the question
Yes, them have nots be robots
All the sheeps have forgot
The haves keep the have nots guessin
Under them smith & wessuns
(*kill!*) (*kill em live!*)
*repeat x7*
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.
