Public Enemy. How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul?. Harder Than You Think. Zeneszám
Yo, Chuck, what?s the move, man?
I was on my way up here to the studio, you know what I?m sayin??
And this brother stopped me and asked me
?Yo, what?s up with that brother, Chuckie D, he swear he nice?
I said, ?Yo, the brother don?t swear he nice
He knows he?s nice, you know what I?m sayin???
So, Chuck, I got a feeling you?re turning into a Public Enemy, man
Now remember that night you was kickin? to me
On the way out to L.A., [Incomprehensible] and Queens
While we was in the car on our way to the shot
Well, yo, right now, kick the bass for ?em brothers
And let ?em know what goes on
Rolling Stones of the rap game, not braggin?
Lips bigger than Jagger, not saggin?
Spell it backwards, I?ma leave it at that
That ain?t got nothin? to do with rap
Check the facts, expose those cats
Who pose as heroes, take advantage of blacks
Your government?s gangster so cut the crap
A war goin? on so where y?all at?
By the power comes great responsibility
F the police but who?s stoppin? you from killin? me?
Disasters, fiascoes over a loop by PE
If it?s I instead of we, believe in [Incomprehensible]
Spittin? riches, bitches, this new thing about snitches
Watch them asses move those ?em masses switches
System dissed them but barely missed her
My sole intention?s to save my brothers and sisters
Hard, get up, just like that
Hard, get up, just like that
Hard, get up, just like that
Hard, get up, just like that
Yeah, that?s right, Chuck, man, that?s what you gotta do
You gotta tell them just like that, you know what I?m sayin??
?Cause, yo, man, let me tell you a little something, man
These brothers runnin? around hard hatin?
They get a little jealous, you know what I?m sayin??
Just like that, you know they try to bring you down with ?em
But, yo, Chuck, you gotta tell ?em just like that
Screamin? gangsta, 20 years later
Of course endorsed while consciousness faded
New generation?s believin? them fables
Gangsta boogie on two turntables
Show no love so it?s easy to hate it
Desecrated while the coroner waited
Any given Sunday, so where y?all rate it?
With slavery, lynching and them drugs infiltrated
I?m like that dawg Chuckie, baby
Keep comin? back to live, love life like I'm crazy
Keep it movin?, risin? to the top
Doug Fresh, clean livin?, you don?t stop
Revolution means change, don?t look at me strange
So I can?t repeat what other rappers be sayin?
If you don?t stand for something you fall for anything
Harder than you think, it?s a beautiful thing
Hard, get up, just like that
Hard, get up, just like that
Hard, get up, just like that
Hard, get up, just like that
Yeah, that?s right, Chuck, man, that?s what you gotta do
You gotta tell them just like that, you know what I?m sayin??
?Cause, yo, man, let me tell you a little something, man
These brothers runnin? around hard hatin?
They get a little jealous, you know what I?m sayin??
Just like that, you know they try to bring you down with ?em
But, yo, Chuck, you gotta tell ?em just like that
So it?s time to leave you a preview
So you too can review what we do
20 years in this business, how you sell soul, gee wiz
People bear witness
Thank you for lettin? us be ourself
So don?t mind me if I repeat myself
These simple lines be good for your health
To keep them crime rhymes on the shelf
Live, love life like you just don?t care
5000 leaders never scared
Bring the noise, it?s the moment they fear
Get up, still a beautiful idea
Get up, throw your hands in the air
Get up and show no fear
Get up if y?all really care
