Earlier today a Broward county appellate court judges

Upheld a previous ruling

To ban the sale of Miami rap group

The 2 Live Crew's double platinum album

Nasty as they wanna be in Broward county

We think it's the, uh, banning of free speech

First amendment protect material presumptively

We don't talk about, uh, harassment sexually

Brutalizin' women in my music, man

We don't do that in my music, man

I'm tired of you sayin' that

We've white collar people tryin' to cramp our styles

Sayin' we're too nasty and we're too live

Corrupted politicians playin' games

Bringin' us down to boost their fame

They must be jokin', thinkin' we were poor

But they're like flies move on the wall

We stand tall from beginnin' to end

With help from fans and all our friends

Freedom of speech will never die

For us to have our ancestors died

Don't keep thinkin' that we will quit

We'll always stand and never sit

We're too live, too black, too strong

Doin' the right thing and not the wrong

So listen up, y'all to what we say

We won't be banned in the USA

Banned in the USA

Luke's concerts are for adults

It was an adult show you have to be eighteen

Luke's concerts are for adults

It was an adult show you have to be eighteen

I record is a year old but, but all the publicity

There's a lot of people curiosity is around

We're sellin' records to a totally different audience

I take the precaution that nobody else has

I stickered my album

I made two versions

Two versions, two versions

The first amendment gave us freedom of speech

So what you're sayin', it didn't include me?

I like to party and have a good time

There's nothin' but pleasure in, in our rhyme

I know you don't think we'll ever quit

We got some people on our side that won't take your lip

We gonna do all the things we wanna do

You can't stand to see a brother get as rich as you

This is the 90's and we comin' on strong

Sayin' things and doin' things that you sayin's wrong

Wisin' up 'cause on election day

We'll see who's banned in the USA

The United States of America

Government of the people

The United States of America

For, for the people

The United States of America

By, by the people

By the people

The show in Hollywood

Those are twenty one and older people

They had police out there

Cars of people comin' in the club

And they still arrested us

For performin' in the front of adults

What is this?

Is this not America?

This is not China

This is not Russia

This is not the place where they brought down the walls

This is America

We have the right to say what we wanna say

We have the right to do what we wanna do

And what I do in my house you might not do in your house

So what I do in my house is my business

And the simple fact of it all

Is that we are bonded by the first amendment

We have the freedom of expression

We have the freedom of choice

And you Chinese, black, green, purple, Jew

You have the right to listen to whoever you want to

And even the 2 Live Crew

So all you right wingers

Left wingers

Bigots

Communists

There is a place for you in this world

Because this is the land of the free

The home of the brave

And 2 Live is what we are
