Public Enemy - Rebirth lyrics

And right 'bout now, we get ready to get live
To this beat we get live to this beat
So I want everybody in the
House to help me count
This beat down yo, later for that!
We ain't count down nothin', know I'm sayin?
We ain't count down nothin', 'cause the
Beat is too large for that
Know I'm sayin'? The beat's too large

When I get down, I give what go around
And when I cough, I do my best to cut it off
I don't claim to be a preacher
Not paid to be a teacher, but I'm grown
I try to be a leader to the bone
Never could follow a man with a bottle
He's a baby with a beard and
Not a feared role model
And they ask me where I get it
I got it from my pops
With a man in the house
And all the bullshit stops
Then I sing a song about what
The hell is goin' wrong
You never know if you only trust
The TV and the radio
These days, you can't see who's in cahoots
'Cause now the KKK wears three-piece suit's
It's like that y'all, it's like that y'all
In fact, you know it's like that y'all

Yeah, that's right straight from Bricktown
Boy! Know I'm
Sayin? Freeport, LI, Roosevelt on the map
Know I'm sayin'?
