PUBLIC ENEMY lyrics : "Burn Hollywood Burn"

Burn Hollywood burn I smell a riot
Goin' on first they're guilty now they're gone
Yeah I'll check out a movie

But it'll take a Black one to move me
Get me the hell away from this TV
All this news and views are beneath me

Cause all I hear about is shots ringin' out
About gangs puttin' each other's head out
So I rather kick some slang out

All right fellas let's go hang out
Hollywood or would they not
Make us all look bad like I know they had

But some things I'll never forget yeah
So step and fetch this %#@!
For all the years we looked like clowns

The joke is over smell the smoke from all around
Burn Hollywood burn


ICE CUBE:

Ice Cube is down with the PE

Now every single (*##$ wanna see me
Big Daddy is smooth word to muther
Let's check out a flick that exploits the color

Roamin' thru Hollywood late at night
Red and blue lights what a common sight
Pulled to the curb gettin' played like a sucker

Don't fight the power ... the mother $#&@er

BIG DADDY KANE:


As I walk the streets of Hollywood Boulevard
Thinkin' how hard it was to those that starred

In the movies portrayin' the roles
Of butlers and maids slaves and hoes
Many intelligent Black men seemed to look uncivilized

When on the screen
Like a guess I figure you to play some jigaboo
On the plantation, what else can a !@$@ do

And Black women in this profession
As for playin' a lawyer, out of the question
For what they play Aunt Jemima is the perfect term

Even if now she got a perm
So let's make our own movies like Spike Lee
Cause the roles being offered don't strike me

There's nothing that the Black man could use to earn
Burn Hollywood burn
