Public Enemy - Can You Hear Me Now(2007)

[00:19.87] Damn if I be some slave again
[00:22.54] Got no fake ass friends
[00:23.47] No timbs or rims
[00:25.37] Sure 'nuff don't know no designer names
[00:27.18] And I never played no video games
[00:29.93] I ain't got no diamond rings
[00:31.73] No bling bling, no minks
[00:33.58] No 2 earrings
[00:35.36] No pimp glasses mugs
[00:37.22] Or cups and things
[00:38.17] Or whatever the hell they be carryin
[00:39.92] Don't treat my highs too high
[00:42.66] Or my lows too low
[00:43.50] You wont see my soul
[00:44.47] Souled on no video
[00:45.33] Don't need no checks to get no chicks
[00:47.16] Or be some hypocrite to get you on my
[00:49.86] So let the young sing and
[00:51.61] Rap to the young
[00:52.69] As long as y'all don't think freedom
[00:54.43] Is free to be dumb
[00:55.32] It's suicidal to think I'm
[01:07.17] Your American Idol
[01:08.02] Hypnotic trapped in a 3000 mile box
[01:09.83] Chicks bobby socks today be Botox
[01:12.54] Now that hip hops the
[01:14.43] New so-called rock
[01:15.39] Parents dressin the outside
[01:17.19] Of their kids
[01:18.09] An' what they wear
[01:19.96] Instead of stressin the inside
[01:20.86] Way back, my peoples gave me pride
[01:22.63] Now in 2004 I ain't gotta hide
[01:25.34] If you can't afford it just
[01:27.24] Leave it to the side
[01:28.12] 'Cause you looking real
[01:29.97] Stupid with that tear in your eye
[01:30.88] Gotta a 1994 hear you talkin
[01:33.50] But it's damn sure better than walkin
[01:35.34] It might be old, it sure ain't gold
[01:38.00] Better than stylin in the cold
[01:40.77] It ain't no rolls, so wont get stoled
[01:42.66] But you wont see me walking on
[01:44.47] no side of the road
[01:46.27] At the age I am now
[01:57.13] If I can't teach
[01:58.00] I shouldn't even open up my
[01:59.83] Mouth begin to speak
[02:00.70] I need some radio
[02:02.52] To help me reach
[02:03.43] But I heard they get their money on
[02:05.24] By makin you weak
[02:06.14] Drowning in the sea of
[02:07.11] Some big dose of now
[02:08.06] No past no future
[02:09.88] Let the young grow wild
[02:11.66] Ain't gave em nuttin
[02:12.59] Some done robbed the child
[02:14.38] From substance

[02:18.94] Took the game and made
[02:20.72] It a gdamn shame
[02:21.72] Hell wit history you don't even

[02:28.15] Headin to your brain
[02:29.95] Now that's what I'm sayin
[02:41.70] I may not got no flow
[02:42.66] But I ain't pimped by no negro
[02:44.41] Backed by some
[02:45.37] Cracka wit
[02:46.23] His ass by the door
[02:47.18] Therefore
[02:48.01] I can never be poor
[02:48.94] 'Cause my mind, body, and soul
[02:49.82] Cannot be sold
[02:51.71] Priceless
[02:52.66] So I avoid the trifelin
[02:53.56] Worms in my cipher

[03:20.06]
