Hard Rhymin'
Public Enemy

(Hard truth soldier radio)

Brothers and sisters, this is not a test

I've been asked by Public Enemy leader Chuck D

To make this emergency announcement

The police in your cities, for all intents and purposes

Have declared open season on black people

(Hey yo, check one two)


Public Enemy was driven into the underground by Government forces

However a small resistance is forming

Both Terminator X and Chuck D have resurfaced

Leading a small mobile rebel unit, The Valley of the Jeep Beats

(1 2 3 4 5 6)


Hard rhyme and the rebel is on the mic

One time, rhyme animal's on the mic

They're still keepin', youth asleep an'

We in the hood with heat and still beatin'


And we back with the rap that packs the room

Black tracks with the rhythm that make you move

Can't hush the bum rush, we bust the sound

With these sonic bombs, feel the pressure all around


Raise the level I'm up again rhymin'

Ridin' on the devil, since I began rhymin'

Hell, we bring back the meat that rap lacks

'Cause like I said, we got sold down the river


And I ain't for these racist wars

A lie's fed by these TV whores

I know, it's more to news fake the truth

We break through won't lose we move with Public Enemy


Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic

One time rhyme animal's on the mic

It's P.E. it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do?

(Whattup?)

Brother tell me, if it's on, it's on


Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic

One time rhyme animal's on the mic

It's P.E. it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do?

(Whattup?)

Brother tell me, if it's on, it's on


Now hip-hop was a gift that lifted up

Loved rap 'til the companies ripped it up

Now the soul is set, we've been had like jazz

If you down for change then they take your voice away


And then they tell you the best is white

Co-signed by a nigga that pimped the mic

Make the rule the view that the beef is cool

But what it do is fool the few fools who buy the feud


Keep the people all blind and dumb dancin'

Never let a record that wreck become rampant

See the street copycat the crap rap and songs

Not knowin', There's a Poison Goin' On


'Til the message revealed and I show

But you never get to hear it on the radio

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, fuck Jack

Bust that, squeeze, rewind the shit, c'mon


Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic

One time rhyme animal's on the mic

It's P.E. it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do?

(Whattup?)

Brother tell me, if it's on, it's on



Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic

One time rhyme animal's on the mic

It's P.E. it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do?

(Whattup?)

Brother tell me, if it's on, it's on


C'mon now, DJ Lord

Here we go again

C'mon now, Guerrilla Funk

Hey yo check one


We move as a team to keep them demons out

Y'all know what I'm talkin' about

See 'em used, abused, confused us into thinkin' that

Bein' ghetto mean the same as bein' ignorant


And so we strive to rise and get by

No peace for the beast we police and shine the light

Culture vanish on the television pimpin' those

On Cribs in a home that they never own


Damn, tell me that once again

Radio and the video don't uplift

Take a stand be demandin' all my freedom and my civil rights

Worldwide fight the plan and they genocide


Yes, the road is long and hard

And when I'm gone you'll say, I did my part

Keep gunnin', we the crew that never lose

On the ones and the motherfuckin' twos, Public Enemy


Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic

One time rhyme animal's on the mic

It's P.E. it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do?

(Whattup?)

Brother tell me, if it's on, it's on


Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic

One time rhyme animal's on the mic

It's P.E. it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do?

(Whattup?)

Brother tell me, if it's on, it's on


Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic

One time rhyme animal's on the mic

It's P.E. it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do?

(Whattup?)

Brother tell me, if it's on, it's on


Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic

One time rhyme animal's on the mic

It's P.E. it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do?

(Whattup?)

Brother tell me, if it's on, it's on


(Hey yo check, one two)

Yeah that's right, Flavor Flav takin' you back to the next millennium

You know what I'm sayin'? Always cold cold killeenum

You know what I'm sayin'? And I ain't playin'

It's all in the message that we're layin'


I got a secret weapon, you know what I'm sayin'?

Let's take two steps to the rear, we gettin' out of here

(You know what I'm sayin'? )

Operation Cold Killin' 'Em to the next millennium


Flavor Flav, rock the house

Hey yo check, one two
