Hell No We Aint Alright
Public Enemy

[Chuck D: storm raging in the background]

Does it gotta come down to this...

In order to see things for what they are and what it is...

We still might not be free up in this piece

Or treated very equally as far as I can see...

Hell no we ain't alright!

[Chuck D (Flavor Flav)]

Now all these press conferences, breaking news alert (this just in)

While your government looks for a war to win

Flames for the blame game, names where I begin

Walls closin and get some help to my kin

(Who cares?) While the rest of the Bush nation stares

As the drama unfolds, as we the people under the stairs

Fifty percent of this Son of a Bush nation

is like, hatin on Haiti and settin up assassinations

Ask Pat Robertson, quiz him (mmm - smells like terrorism)

Racism in the news, still one-sided views

Sayin whites find food

Pray for the National Guard who be ready to shoot

Because they be sayin us blacks loot

(What is your boy Son of a Bush doin?) [laughing]

(NUTTIN!)

[Chorus 1: x3]

New Orleans in the mornin afternoon and night

Hell naw! {HELL NAW} We ain't alright

[Chorus 2]

New Orleans in the mornin afternoon and night

Hell naw! Damn, damn!

[Chuck D (Flavor Flav)]

Now them fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, I don't mean to scare

... wasn't this written somewhere?

Disgrace is all I be seein is hurtin black faces

Moved out to all them far away places

(Emergency) state, corpses alligators and snakes

Big difference between this haze and (the little diamonds on the VMA's)

You better look what's really important

Y'all under the sun, especially if you over 21

This ain't no TV show, ain't no video (this is really real!)

Beyond them same ol' keep it real

quotes from them TV stars, drivin big rim cars (streets keep floodin B)

No matter where you at no gas, driving is a luxury (urgency)

Don't y'all know? They said it's a state of emergency

Show somebody's government is far from reality

(Aiyyo check one two!)

[Chorus 1: repeat x4 instead of x3]

[TV broadcast samples]

And they don't have a CLUE of what's going on down there

I'm like you've gotta be kidding me, this is a NATIONAL disaster

It's awful down here man

God is lookin down on all this

And if they are not doin everything in their power to save people

They are gonna pay the price

[Chuck D (Flavor Flav)]

Now I see we be the new faces of refugees, who ain't even overseas

But stuck here on our knees

Forget the plasma TV, ain't no electricity

New world's upside down and OUT of order

Shelter, food, what's up yo? (Where's the water?)

No answers from disaster, them masses be hurtin

So who the f#$! they call - HALLIBURTON?!

Son of a Bush how you gonna just trust that cat

to fix s%#t when all that help is stuck in Iraq?

Makin war plans takin more stands in Afghanistan

Two thousands soldiers there dyin in the sand

But that's over there, right? What's over here?

It's a noise so loud some of y'all can't hear

But on TV I know that I can see

Bunches of people, lookin just like me

[Chorus 1 x4: change city/state name each refrain]

[1:] New Orleans

[2:] Mississippi

[3:] Alabama

[4:] U.S.A.

[Chuck D]

We definitely ain't alright

And some of y'all voted for that cat! Son of a Bush

That's right, what God giveth sometimes your country taketh away

Yeah, one love, comin from Public Enemy, #1 y'all

Public Enemy, 2006 (yeah)

Public Enemy 2007, all gettin together now

[Flavor Flav]

Let me tell y'all somethin

All of our hearts is out there with y'all, you know what I'm sayin?

And we sendin trucks, we sendin boats

Boxes of.. cans of soup and everything

Clothes and all of that, shoes

We donating everything to y'all, you know what I'm sayin?

Don't worry, y'all ain't by yourself

You need to know that
