PUBLIC ENEMY lyrics : "Fight The Power"

1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got sould

(Brothers and sisters, hey)
Listen if you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'

Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I know
While the Black bands sweatin'

And the rhythm rhymes rollin'
Got to give us what we want
Gotta give us what we need

Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say

Fight the power

Chorus


As the rhythm designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhymes

Designed to fill your mind
Now that you've realized the prides arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough

from the heart
It's a start, a work of art
To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange

People, people we are the same
No we're not the same
Cause we don't know the game

What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
You say what is this?
My beloved lets get down to business

Mental self defensive fitness
(Yo) bum rush the show
You gotta go for what you know

Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say...
Fight the Power


Chorus


Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant %#@! to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was

Simple and plain
Mother $#&@ him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud

I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find

Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam

Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) lets get this party started right
Right on, c'mon

What we got to say
Power to the people no delay
To make everybody see

In order to fight the powers that be

(Fight the Power)
