[Zack:] Hey check this out right about now....
|
I wanna introduce a brotha...who came all the way outta here
|
from Long Island, New york. And he's one of the fathers of
|
revolutionary music in our time period. He was a huge influence
|
on us and we wanna bring him out right now. So check it out, we
|
got a man by the name of Chuck D, from Public Enemy. Yeah.
|
[Chuck D:] Wassup, wassup! Zack: Yo....

|
[Chuck D:] "I got a letter from the government
|
The other day
|
I opened and read it
|
It said they were suckers
|
They wanted me for their army or whatever
|
Picture me given' a damn - I said never
|
Here is a land that never gave a damn
|
About a brother like me and myself
|
Because they never did
|
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
|
It occured to me
|
The suckers had authority
|
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
|
How long has it been?
|
They got me sittin' in the state pen
|
I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
|
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
|
I'm not a fugitive on the run
|
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
|
Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
|
To criticize me for some crime - never the less
|
They could not understand that I'm a Black man
|
And I could never be a veteran
|
On the strength, the situation's unreal
|
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel"
|
|
Yeah!
