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 hes 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.
Wassup, wassup! Zack: Yo....
"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 wasnt 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
Im not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public enemy servin time - they drew the line yall
To criticize me for some crime - never the less
They could not understand that Im a Black man
And I could never be a veteran
On the strength, the situations unreal
I got a raw deal, so Im goin for the steel"
Yeah!
