It takes a Nation
Is it just my hallucination?
These microphones designed like war drones
Who drop bombs
Upon women, children, and moms
Gots the nerve to bring it here in this atmosphere
Who really cares? Even those closest near
Pickup trucks creatin' fear
Who wake up caught, mad at the mirror
Woke with nobody to hear ya
With a bad attitude
Forget how you look
Because ugly is under your face, my dude
No biggie, I figured
Can you rap a verse
Without first writing a curse?
Diamond in the teeth
Media beef
Diggin' the scene on the shit I'm seeing
Hmmmm...
Create fast like
You're gonna die tomorrow
Posting ain't talking
Texting ain't writing
Scrolling and reading
Grits ain't groceries, cyborg soul
[?]
Chess ain't checkers
I'm in a world you can hope to get to
Better pray your current world
Don't forget you, let you
I'm everywhere, nowhere at the same time
Should be a crime
Now losing my rhyme
64 bars to memorize
Saw a shrink to help me get it hypnotized
Hmmmm...
Five fingers of Black Death
Hypertension, diabetes, cancer, stress
Toxic, worst of everything
Bad food fueling the youth
Killing middle age
Killing OGs too
More than street beef and shooting
Is it beef stuck in your teeth?
What is you doin?
Time is like a river
Running like dark liquor on the liver
Fix my mouth to deliver
Hmmmm...
The lyrics WHAT EYE SAID of PUBLIC ENEMY is also present in the album Black sky over the projects: apartment 2025 (2025)
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
