Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm all in, put it up on the board
Another rapper shot down from the mouth that roared
One, two, three, down for the count
The result of my lyrics, oh, yes, no doubt
Cold rock rap, 49er supreme
Is what I choose and I use, I never lose to a team
'Cause I can go solo like a Tyson bolo
Make the fly girls wanna have my photo
Run in their room, hang it on the wall
In remembrance that I rocked them all
Suckers, ducks, ho-hum emcees
You can't rock the kid so go cut the cheese
Take this application of rhymes like these
My rap's red hot, hundred ten degrees
So don't start bassin', l'll start placin'
Bets on that, you'll be disgracing
You and your mind from a beatin' from my rhymes
A time for a crime that I can't find
I'll show you my gun, my Uzi weighs a ton
Because I'm Public Enemy no. 1
[Verse 2]
You got no rap, but you want to battle
It's like havin' a boat, but you've got no paddle
'Cause I never pause, I say it because
I don't break in stores, but I break all laws
Written while sittin', all fittin', not bitten
Givin' me the juice that you're not gettin'
I'm not a law obeyer so you can tell your mayor
I'm a non-stop rhythm rock, poetry sayer
I'm the rhyme player, the ozone layer
A battle what? Here's a Bible, start your prayer
This word to the wise is justified
If they ask you what happened, just admit you lied
You just got caught up, for goin' out of order
And now you're servin' football teams their water
You messed with the master, word to Chuck
And I waxed, cold taxed, made sure you got dunked
You just got dissed, all but dismissed
Sucker duck emcees, you get me pissed
It's no fun bein' on the run
Because they got me, Public Enemy no. 1
[Verse 3]
Don't you know, don't you know
I got a posse of a force to back me up?
Watch out, we got mettle to match
Ambush, attack on my back
Double-team to get creamed
So we have it so you won't catch
Wanna hear it again, we got a force, enemy down
The L-I circuit sound
And Chuckie D, myself, and KG
Flavor, DJ Melo D
Oh, yes, I presume it's the tunes that make us groove
To make all the ladies swoon
But it's also the words from our direction, a gold boy section
Kickin' like Bruce Lee's Chinese Connection
On stereo, never ever mono
On wax, yes, I'm talkin' 'bout vinyl
They said, "Stop, freeze," I got froze up
Because I'm Public Enemy no. 1
[Verse 4]
For all you
Suckers, liars, your cheap amplifiers
Your crossed up wires are always startin' fires
You grown up criers, now here's a pair of pliers
Get a job like your mother, hear she fixes old dryers
You have no desires, your father fixes tires
You try to sell your equipment, but you get no buyers
It's you they never hire, you're never on fliers
'Cause you and your crew is only known as good triers
Known as the poetic, political, lyrical son
I'm Public Enemy no. 1
