Zack:
Hey check this out right about now....
I
wanna introduce a brotha...who came all the way outta here
from
Long Island, New york. And he's one of the fathers of
revolutionary
music in our time period. He was a huge influence
on
us and we wanna bring him out right now. So check it out, we
got
a man by the name of Chuck D, from Public Enemy. Yeah.
Chuck
D: Wassup, wassup! Zack: Yo.... ( x5 )
Chuck
D: "I got a letter from the government
The
other day
I
opened and read it
It
said they were suckers
They
wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture
me given' a damn - I said never
Here
is a land that never gave a damn
About
a brother like me and myself
Because
they never did
I
wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
It
occured to me
The
suckers had authority
Cold
sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
How
long has it been?
They
got me sittin' in the state pen
I
gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
I
contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I'm
not a fugitive on the run
But
a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public
enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
To
criticize me for some crime - never the less
They
could not understand that I'm a Black man
And
I could never be a veteran
On
the strength, the situation's unreal
I
got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel"
Yeah!
