Hard Rhymin' - Extended Mix

Lyrics

Brothers and sisters, this is not a test
 I've been asked by Public Enemy leader Chuck D to make this emergency announcement
 The police in your cities, for all intents and purposes
 Have declared open season on black people (hey yo check one two)
 Public Enemy was driven into the underground by government forces
 However, a small resistance is forming
 Both Terminator X and Chuck D have resurfaced
 Leading a small mobile rebel unit, "The Valley of the Jeep Beats"
 (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8)
 (1-2-3-4-5-6) Hard rhyme and the rebel is on the mic
 One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
 They're still keepin', youth asleep an'
 We in the hood with heat and still beatin'
 And we back with the rap that packs the room
 Black tracks with the rhythm that make you 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 rhymin'
 Ridin' on the devil since I began rhymin'
 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 racist wars
 A lie's fed by these TV whores
 I know it's more to news fake the truth
 We break through won't lose we move with Public Enemy
 Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic
 One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
 (It's P.E. - whattup - it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do)
 (Brother tell me if it's on, it's on)
 Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic
 One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
 (It's P.E. - whattup - it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do)
 (Brother tell me if it's on, it's on)
 Now hip-hop was a gift that lifted up
 Loved rap 'til the companies ripped it up
 Now the soul is set, we've been had like jazz
 If you down for change then they take your voice away
 And then they tell you the best is white
 Co-signed 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 and songs
 Not knowin "There's a POISON Goin' On"
 'Til the message revealed and I show
 But you never get to hear it on the radio
 Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, fuck Jack!
 Bust that, squeeze, rewind the shit, c'mon
 Hard rhyme when
 Hard rhyme when
 Hard rhyme when
 Hard rhyme when
 Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic
 Hard rhyme when
 Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic
 Hard rhyme when
 Hey yo check one, two
 Listen for lessons, I'm sayin' in sad music
 Listen for lessons, I'm sayin' in sad music
 Listen for lessons, I'm sayin' in sad music
 Listen for lessons, lessons, lessons
 Listen for lessons, I'm sayin' in sad music
 Listen for lessons, I'm sayin' in sad music
 Listen for lessons, I'm sayin' in sad music
 Listen for lessons, I'm sayin' in sad music (Hey yo check one, two)
 Heart to the pedal, put your hands in the air
 H-Heart to the pedal, put your hands in the air
 Heart to the pedal, put your hands in the air
 H-Heart to the pedal, put your hands, hands
 Heart to the pedal, put your hands in the air
 H-H-Heart to the pedal, put your hands in the air, in the air
 Heart to the pedal, put your hands in the air
 H-H-Heart to the pedal, put your hands in the air (Hey yo check one, two)
 (Hey yo check one, two)
 We move as a team to keep them demons out
 Y'all know what I'm talkin' about
 See 'em used, abused, confused 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 vanish on the television pimpin' those
 On "Cribs" in a home that they never own
 Damn! Tell me that once again
 Radio and the video don't uplift
 Take a stand be demandin' all my freedom and my civil rights
 Worldwide fight the plan and they genocide
 Yes the road is long and hard
 And when I'm gone you'll say I did my part
 Keep gunnin', we the crew that never lose
 On the ones and the motherfuckin' twos, Public Enemy
 Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic
 One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
 (It's P.E. - whattup - it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do)
 (Brother tell me if it's on, it's on)
 Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic
 One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
 (It's P.E. - whattup - it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do)
 (Brother tell me if it's on, it's on)
 Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic
 One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
 (It's P.E. - whattup - it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do)
 (Brother tell me if it's on, it's on)
 Hard rhyme when the rebel is on the mic
 One time, rhyme animal's on the mic
 (It's P.E. - whattup - it's on you, brother what'chu wanna do)
 (Brother tell me if it's on, it's on)
 Hey yo check one two
 Yeah that's right, Flavor Flav takin' you back to the next millennium
 You know what I'm sayin'? Always cold, cold killi-enum
 You know what I'm sayin'? And I ain't playin'
 It's all in the message that we're layin'
 I got a secret weapon, you know what I'm sayin'?
 Let's take two steps to the rear, we gettin' out of here
 You know what I'm sayin'? Operation Cold Killin 'Em to the next millennium
 Flavor Flav, rock the house
