PUBLIC ENEMY lyrics : "Rightstarter (Message To A Black Man)"

Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet
Let's start this

Right

You spend a buck in the 80's - whatcha you get is a

preacher
Forgivin' this torture of the system that brought
'cha

I'm on a mission and you got that right
Addin' fuel to the fire - punch to the fight
Many have forgotten what we came here for

Never knew or had a clue - so you're on the floor
Just growin not knowin about your past
now you're lookin' pretty stupid while you're

shakin' your $$#

Mind over matter - mouth in motion

Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right


Some people fear me when I talk this way
Some come near me - some run away

Some people take heed to every word I say
Some wanna build a posse - some stay away
Some people think that we plan to fail

Wonder why we go under or we go to jail
Some ask us why we act the way we act
Without lookin' how long they kept us back


Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet

Let's start this
Right


Yes you if I bore you - I won't ignore you
I'm sayin things that they say I'm not supposed to
Give you pride that you may not find

If you're blind about your past then I'll point
behind
Kings, Queens, warriors, lovers

People proud - sisters and brothers
Their biggest fear - suckers get tears
When we can top their best idea


Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet

Let's start this
Right


Mind revolution - our solution
Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Corners don't sell it - no you can't buy it

Defy cause I'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right


Our solution - mind revolution
Can't sell it - no you can't buy it in a potion

You lie about the life that you wanted to try
Tellin' me about a head - you decided to fly
Another brother with the same woes that you face

But you shot with the same hands - you fall from grace
Every brother should be every brother's keeper
But you shot with your left while your right was on your

beeper

Mind over matter - mouth in motion

Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right


As the world turns - it's a terrible waste
To see the stupid look stuck on your face

Timebomb alarm for the world - just try it
Known to all zones as the one man riot
I'm on a mission to set you straight
Children - it's not too late
Explain to the world when it's plain to see

To be what the world doesn't want us to be

Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet
Let's start this

Right
