Hard rhymin, the rebel is on the mic
One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
And still keepin', you from sleepin'
We in the hood with heat and still beatin'

And we back with the rap that packs the room
Black tracks with the rythmn that make ya move
Can't hush the bum-rush we bust the sound with these sonic bombs
Feel the pressure all around

Raise the level I'm up again ryhmin
Ridin' on the devil since I began ryhmin
Hell, we bring back the meat that rap lacks
Cause like I said, we got sold down the river

And I ain't for these ra-cist wars
Or lies fed by these t.v. whores
I know it's more, the news fake the truth
We break through, won't lose, we move, It's Public Enemy

Chorus:
Hard rhymin, the rebel is on the mic
One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
It's on you brother what you gonna do brother
Tell me if it's on , it's on
2x

Now hip-hop was the gift that lifted up,
I loved rap till them companies ripped it up
Now the soul is sapped, we've been had like jazz
If you down for change, then they take your voice away

And then they tell ya the best is white
Cosigned by a nigga that pimped the mic
Make the rule the view that the beef is cool, but
What it do is fool the few fools who buy the feud

Keep the people all blind and dumb dancin
Never let a record that wreck become rampant
See the street copycat the crap rap in songs, I'm knowin'
There's a poison goin on

Feel the message revealed in our show
But you'll never get to hear it on the radio,
Jack be nimble jack be quick,fuck Jack, bust that
Squeeze and reload the clip, come on

Chorus:
Hard rhymin, the rebel is on the mic
One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
It's on you brother what you gonna do brother
Tell me if it's on , it's on
2x

We move as a team to keep them demons out
Now y'all know what I'm talkin about
I seen em use, abuse, confuse us into thinkin that
Bein ghetto mean the same as bein ignorant

And so we strive to rise and get by
No peace for the beast we police and shine the light
Culture bandits on the television pimpin those
On ³Cribs² in a home that they never owned

Damn, tell me now, what's the diff
Radio and the video don't uplift
Take a stand, be demanding all my freedom and my civil rights
worldwide fight the plan and the genocide

Yes the road is long and hard, and when I'm gone y'all say I did my part
Keep gunnin' we the crew'll never lose
On the ones and the motherfuckin twos,
Public Enemy for life

Chorus:
Hard rhymin, the rebel is on the mic
One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
It's on you brother what you gonna do brother
Tell me if it's on , it's on
2x
