Tie Goes to the Runner
Public Enemy

Here a track I found underneath
Findin' beats is a treat
And I don't care if it top pop
Abracadabra can't keep a tab a

This stickin' around like D an' it stuck Chuck
Into a mode unloadin' pop, pop, pop
Go the weasels that dropped from the hip hop
Kissin' the goodbye goin', goin', gone

Keep it flowin' on
Like a lemon I ain't livin', like a lime here's a line
To those here's a rose keep the casket closed
Gone and in check the next is from the X

Wrecked and affected by the rest huh
How I'm gonna go I gotta flow
'Cause they figure I'm a gonna
Tie goes to the runner

Politikin' I be wreckin'
I reckon he's the electrician
Pullin' the switches on brothers
Who be in disposition

I never got along wit' the long arm of the law
I saw where they place the hardcore
To them it doesn't matter where it splatter
Our blood from the bullet not ballot I vote for Jim Brown

I know it don't rhyme
Does it matter that he in fact he won't find
Excuses inside of Murphy Brown
I'm on a level livin' low here we go I know

If this was Africa I'd try to give a necktie
To those runnin' and lyin' disguisin'
Three guys
(Surprise)
Tie goes to the runner

Not surprised at all
About the riot zone and I moan
I wish they leave me alone yo
This was predicted not self-inflicted

By the rap outta the 'hood they picked it good
Hittin' heavy critical aim at all the phony names
Prez embezzlers who gettin' voted mayor
Lookin' at 'em wit' an evil eye
(Why lie)

I don't buy the fly look as the fall guy
I'm livin' low across the tracks
Politikin' who stickin' had better
Watch their backs in another long hot summer
Tie goes to the runner

And I quote, I freak da notes
I double the dose all she wrote
Devour got the power of a double man
Get excited just don't bite it or you're in trouble man

Got a rhythm to ride a thought provoke
'Cause I don't joke here's a brother wit' an attitude
Don't get me rude
Chew it up wass up it's like food
