Public Enemy - Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos слова песни
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 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 They got me rottin` in the time that I`m servin` Tellin` you what happened the same time they`re throwin` 4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh well The same motherfucker got us livin` is his hell You have to realize - what its a form of slavery Organized under a swarm of devils Straight up - word`em up on the level The reasons are several, most of them federal Here is my plan anyway and I say I got gusto, but only some I can trust - yo Some do a bid from 1 to 10 And I never did, and plus I never been I`m on a tier where no tears should ever fall Cell block and locked - I never clock it y`all `Cause time and time again time They got me servin` to those and to them I`m not a citizen But ever when I catch a C-O Sleepin` on the job - my plan is on go-ahead On the strength, I`ma tell you the deal I got nothin` to lose `Cause I`m goin` for the steel You know I caught a C-O Fallin` asleep on death row I grabbed his gun - then he did what I said so And everyman`s got served Along with the time they served Decency was deserved To understand my demands I gave a warnin` - I wanted the governor, y`all And plus the warden to know That I was innocent - Because I`m militant Posing a threat, you bet it`s fuckin` up the government My plan said I had to get out and break north Just like with Oliver`s neck I had to get off - my boys had the feds in check They couldn`t do nuthin` We had a force to instigate a prison riot This is what it takes for peace So I just took the piece Black for Black inside time to cut the leash Freedom to get out - to the ghetto - no sell out 6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head out But I`ll give `em a chance, cause I`m civilized As for the rest of the world, they can`t realize A cell is hell - I`m a rebel so I rebel Between bars, got me thinkin` like an animal Got a woman C-O to call me a copter She tried to get away, and I popped her Twice, right Now who wanna get nice? I had 6 C-Os, now it`s 5 to go And I`m serious - call me delirious But I`m still a captive I gotta rap this Time to break as time grows intense I got the steel in my right hand Now I`m lookin` for the fence I ventured into the courtyard Followed by 52 brothers Bruised, battered, and scarred but hard Goin` out with a bang Ready to bang out But power from the sky And from the tower shots rang out A high number of dose - yes And some came close Figure I trigger my steel Stand and hold my post This is what I mean - an anti-nigger machine If I come out alive and then they won`t - come clean And then I threw up my steel bullets - flew up Blew up, who shot... What, who, the bazooka was who And to my rescue, it was the S1Ws Secured my getaway, so I just gotaway The joint broke, from the black smoke Then they saw it was rougher thatn the average bluffer `Cause the steel was black, the attitude exact Now the chase is on tellin` you to c`mon 53 brothers on the run, and we are gone
