Public Enemy - Tie Goes To The Runner lyrics

"An outrage as a rap music
Group called Public Enemy
But these days, America is on a hair-trigger
And Public Enemy is taking some incoming
Fire on it's own it is music
That is becoming more and
More popular, so you should decide
For yourself: is this art
Or dangerous propaganda?"

Hold it, hold it! This is
Serious business, serious business, serious
Business! I don't stop time
And again, y'all! Ninety-three, you know
Me! Operation Taxin' Station in
The Nation! Serious business, you know
Me! Tie 'em 'round the neck, light the match
And go like this "yeah!"

Here a track I found underneath
Findin' beats is a treat


And I don't care if it top, pop
Abracadabra can't keep a tab a
This stickin' around like D and it stuck
Chuck into a mode, unloadin', pop, pop, pop
Go the weasels that dropped from the hip-hop
Kissin' the bass beats good
Bye, goin', goin', gone
(Goin', goin', gone) i keep it flowin' on
I'm like a lemon, I ain't livin' like a lime
Here's a line to those
Here's a rose keep the casket closed
Gone and in check, the next is from the X
Wrecked and affected by the rest, huh!
How I'm gonna go
I gotta flow 'cause they figured I'm a goner
Tie goes to the runner

Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner

Politickin', I be wreckin'
I reckon he's the electrician
Pullin' switches on brothers who
Be in disposition i never got along with the
Long arm of the law
I saw where they place the hardcore (Yo)
To them, it doesn't matter where it splatter
Our blood from the bullet, not ballot
I vote for Jim Brown i know it don't rhyme
Does it matter that he in fact he won't find
Excuses inside of Murphy Brown?
I'm on a level livin' low, here we go, I know
If this was Africa, I'd try to give a necktie
To those runnin' and lyin', disguisin'
Three guys, surprise, ayy yo
Tie goes to the runner

Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner

One more time! One more time!
One more time! One more time!
One more time! One more time!
One more time! One more time!

Not surprised at all about the riot zone
And I moan, "I wish they leave me alone, yo"
(Yo) this was predicted, not self-inflicted
By the rap outta the 'hood
They picked it good
Hittin' heavy critical aim at
All the phony names prezzes, VPs
Embezzlers who gettin' voted mayor
Lookin' at 'em with a evil eye, why lie?
I don't buy the fly look as the fall guy
I'm livin' low across the tracks
Politicians who stickin' had better
Watch their backs in another long hot summer
Tie goes to the runner

Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner
Tie goes to the runner

And I quote, I freak the notes
I double the dose and all she wrote
Devour got the power of a double, man
Get excited, just don't bite
It, you in trouble, man
Got a rhythm to ride, a rhyme to side
A thought provoke 'cause I don't joke
Here's a brother with an attitude
Don't get me rude
Chew it up, was up it's like food, yo!
