Lyrics

Yo Chuck, bust a move man I was on my way up here to the studio, you know what I'm sayin'? And this brother stop me and ask me "Yo, wassup with that brother Chuckie D? He swear he nice" I said, "Yo the brother don't swear he's nice, he knows he's nice" Ya know what I'm sayin'? So Chuck, I got a feelin' you turnin' him into a Public Enemy, man Now remember that line you was kicking to me On the way out to LA Lounge in Queens While we was in the car on our way to the Shop Well yo, right now kick the bass for them brothers And let 'em know, what goes on Rolling Stones of the rap game, not braggin' Lips bigger than Jagger, not saggin' Spell it backwards, I'ma leave it at that That ain't got nothin' to do with rap Check the facts, expose those cats Who pose as heroes, take advantage of blacks Your government's gangster, so cut the crap A war goin' on so where y'all at? "Fight the Power" comes great responsibility F the police, but who's stoppingyou from killlin me? Disaster, fiascos over a loop by P.E. If it's I instead of we believin' TV Spittin' riches, bitches, and this new thing about snitches Watch them asses move as the masses switches System dissed them but barely missed her My soul intention to save my brothers and sisters Hard (get up!) Just like that Hard (get up!) Just like that Hard (get up!) Just like that Hard (get up!) Just like that Yeah, that's right Chuck, man That's what you gotta do You got to tell 'em just like that, ya know what I'm sayin'? 'Cause yo, lemme tell you a lil' something man These brothers runnin' around, hard-headed They get a lil' jealous, you know what I'm sayin'? Just like that! You know, they try to bring you down wit' 'em But yo, Chuck, you got to tell 'em just like that Screamin' gangsta 20 years later Of course endorsed while consciousness faded New generation believin' them fables "Gangster Boogie" on two turntables (just like that) Show no love so it's easy to hate it Desecrated while the coroner waited Any given Sunday, so where y'all rate it? Wit' slavery, lynchin', and them drugs infiltrated (just like that) I'm like that doll Chuckie, baby Keep comin' back to live, love life like I'm crazy Keep it movin', rising to the top Doug Fresh clean livin' you don't stop (just like that) Revolution means change, don't look at me strange So I can't repeat what other rappers be sayin' If you don't stand for something, you fall for anything Harder than you think, it's a beautiful thing Hard (get up!) Just like that Hard (get up!) Just like that Hard (get up!) Just like that Hard (get up!) Just like that Yeah, that's right Chuck, man That's what you gotta do You got to tell 'em just like that, ya know what I'm sayin'? 'Cause yo, lemme tell you a lil' something man These brothers runnin; around, hard-headed They get a lil' jealous, you know what I'm sayin'? Just like that! You know, they try to bring you down wit 'em But yo, Chuck, you got to tell 'em just like that So it's time to leave you a preview So you too can review what we do 20 years in this business, how you sell soul? Gee whiz, people bear witness (just like that) Thank you for lettin' us be ourselves So don't mind me if I repeat myself These simple lines be good for your health To keep them crime rhymes on the shelf (just like that) Live, love life like you just don't care Five thousand leaders never scared "Bring the Noise," it's the moment they feared Get up! Still a beautiful idea (just like that) Hard (get up!) Throw your hands in the air (just like that) Hard (get up!) Yeah, show no fear (just like that) Hard (get up!) If y'all really care (just like that) Hard (P, 20 years!) Just like that (now get up!) Yeah, that's right, we Public Enemy number one in New York Public Enemy number one in Philly, Public Enemy number one in D.C. Public Enemy number one in Cleveland, Ohio (we're harder than you think) Also we're Public Enemy number one in St. Louis (It's a beautiful thing) Public Enemy number one in New Jersey And bust it, we also Public Enemy number one in Cincinnatti, (we're harder than you think) And Atlanta, even Public Enemy number one in Chicago Public Enemy number one in Detroit (it's a beautiful thing) Public Enemy number one in Oakland (We're harder than you think) Public Enemy number one in Baltimore Public Enemy number one in Miami, Public Enemy number one in Indiana Also Public Enemy number one in L.A. (It's a beautiful thing indeed) Also we're Public Enemy number one in Alabama, y'all (we're harder, than you think!) Public Enemy number one in Tennesee, Public Enemy number one in Mississippi (Just like that, just like that, just like that)
