Public Enemy - Nothing is Quick in the Desert lyrics

Stay out of the desert

1, 2, 1, 2, Yo yo 1, 2
Nothing is Quick in the Desert 1, 2 yo

Not put here to judge between
The quick and the dead
I be slick with this nick of
Time rhyme that I said (Go)
Digitize the present, download it in a minute
The future is now
Cause there ain't no frontin' in it
Steady stayin' chained to that
Wagon of old ways that last pass second
We now call the old days
Yesterday slaves, just hangin' to get hung
Oblivious to those slangin' poison
With the tongue (Yo)
Unaware that being everywhere just
Ain't no lie
Desert MCs those who deserve to die
Or get poor trying, bitch stop lying
Everybody sellin', but ain't nobody buyin'
(Uh)
Adrenaline rushin', like my blood be gold
Like in 1849, rhyme soul is sold
Like all good people could be
Cowards in the end
And the death comes quick in
The desert my friend
Nothing is quick in the desert!

If I had to describe the way I survive
The radio, the TV, the worldwide web

Nothing is quick in the desert!
