Lyrics Public Enemy

Public Enemy

Public Enemy No. 1

Yo Chuck, bust the move, man

I was on my way up here to the studio, ya know what I'm sayin'?

And this brother stop me and axe 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, we gotta fill in, you turn him into a Public Enemy, man

Now remember that line you was kicking to me

On the way out to L.A.

While we was in the car on our way to the Shot

Well yo, right now kick the bass for them brothers

And let them know what goes on

What goes on?

Well, I'm all in, put it up on the board

Another rapper shot down from the mouth that roared

1, 2, 3 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 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 MC's

You can't rock the kid, so go, cut the cheese

Take this application of rhymes like these

My rap's red hot, 110 degrees

So don't start bassin', I'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 number one

One, one, one

One, one, one, one

You got no rap but you want to battle

It's like havin' a boat but you 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 your 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 a for going out of order

And now you're servin' football teams their water

You messed with the master, word to Chuck

And I'll wax cold tax, made sure you got dunked

You just got dissed, all but dismissed

Sucker duck MC's, you get me pissed

It's no fun being on the run

Because they got me, Public Enemy number one

One, one, one

One, one, one

Don't you know? Don't you know?

I got a posse of a force to back me up

Watch out, we got never the match

Ambush attack on my back, doubleteamin' get creamed

So we have us, so you are okay

Wanna hear it again, we got the force, enemy down

The L.I. circuit sound

Ain't it Chuckie D, myself and KG, Flavor, DJ Melody

Oh yes, I presume it's the tunes that make us groom

To make all the ladies swoon

But it's also the words from Our Direction, a gold boy session

Kickin' like a Bruce Lee's Chinese connection

On stereo, never ever MIND, no, all wax, yes I'm talkin' about vinyl

They said, "Stop freeze," I got froze up

Because I'm Public Enemy number one

One, one, one

One, one, one

One, one, one

For all you suckers, liars, your cheap amplifiers

You crossed up wires are always starting fires

You grown up criers, now here's a pair of pliers

Get a job like your mother, I heard she fixes old dryers

You have no desires, your father fixes tires

You try to sell ya equipment but you get no buyers

It's you they never hire, you're never on flyers

'Cause you and your crew is only known as good triers

Known as the poetic political lyrical son

I'm Public Enemy number one

One, one, one

One, one, one

One, one, one

Yeah, that's right Chuck man

That's what you gotta do

You gotta tell them just like that

Ya know what I'm sayin'?

'Cause yo man, let me tell you a little somethin', man

These brothers runnin' around, hard headed

Makin' a little jealous, ya know what I'm sayin'?

Just like that, ya know, they try to bring you down with 'em

But yo Chuck, you gotta let 'em know

Who's who in the world of beat

You gotta let 'em know that this is the 80's

And we can get all the ladies

And in the backyard we got a fly Mercedes

And that's the way the story goes

That's just the way the story goes

Let me tell you a little somethin', man
