Public Enemy - Prophets Of Rage(1988)

[00:13.72] With vice I hold the mike device
[00:15.53] With force I keep it away of course
[00:18.25] And I'm keepin' you from sleepin'
[00:20.03] And on stage I rage
[00:21.89] And I'm rollin'
[00:22.79] To the poor I pour in on in metaphors
[00:24.59] Not bluffin', it's nothin'
[00:26.36] That we ain't did before
[00:28.16] We played you stayed
[00:29.03] The points made
[00:29.94] You consider it done
[00:30.84] By the prophets of rage
[00:31.72] (Power of the people say)
[00:37.88] I roll with the punches so I survive
[00:39.68] Try to rock 'cause it keeps the crowd alive
[00:42.30] I'm not ballin', I'm just callin'
[00:44.14] But I'm past the days of yes y'allin'
[00:46.80] Wa wiggle round and round
[00:47.77] I pump, you jump up
[00:49.56] Hear my words my verbs
[00:50.47] And get juiced up
[00:52.27] I been around a while
[00:53.23] You can descibe my sound
[00:54.10] Clear the way
[00:55.03] For the prophets of rage
[00:56.80] (Power of the people say)
[01:02.22] I rang ya bell
[01:03.13] Can you tell I got feelin'
[01:04.04] Just peace at least
[01:04.94] Cause I want it
[01:05.81] Want it so bad
[01:06.77] That I'm starvin'
[01:08.58] I'm like Garvey
[01:09.47] So you can see B
[01:10.39] It's like that, I'm like Nat
[01:12.17] Leave me the hell alone
[01:13.06] If you don't think I'm a brother
[01:14.88] Then check the chromosomes
[01:15.74] Then check the stage
[01:16.62] I declare it a new age
[01:17.53] Get down for the prophets of rage
[01:19.38] Keep you from gettin' like this
[01:49.17] You back the track
[01:50.04] You find we're the quotable
[01:51.86] You emulate
[01:52.75] Brothers, sisters thats beautiful
[01:54.54] Follow a path
[01:55.40] Of positivity you go
[01:56.36] Some sing it or rap it
[01:58.11] Or harmonize it through Go-Go
[01:59.07] Little you know but very
[01:59.93] Seldom I do party jams
[02:01.88] About a plan
[02:02.71] I'm considered the man
[02:03.64] I'm the recordable
[02:05.42] But God made it affordable
[02:06.31] I say it, you play it
[02:07.26] Back in your car or even portable
[02:09.06] Stereo
[02:09.96] Describes my scenario
[02:10.81] Left or right, Black or White
[02:13.57] They tell lies in the books
[02:14.42] That you're readin'
[02:15.40] It's knowledge of yourself
[02:16.23] That you're needin'
[02:18.12] Like Vescey or Prosser
[02:19.07] We have a reason why
[02:20.00] To debate the hate
[02:20.80] That's why we're born to die
[02:22.81] Mandela, cell dweller, Thatcher
[02:24.62] You can tell her clear the way for the prophets of rage
[02:27.32] (Power of the people you say)
[02:56.10] It's raw and keepin' you on the floor
[02:57.99] Its soul and keepin' you in control
[03:00.76] It's pt. 2 cause I'm
[03:02.56] Pumpin' what you're used to
[03:03.44] Until the whole juice crew
[03:04.31] Gets me in my goose down
[03:05.27] I do the rebel yell
[03:07.01] And I'm the duracell
[03:07.92] Call it plain insane
[03:09.74] Brothers causein' me pain
[03:10.64] When a brothers a victim
[03:11.51] And the sellers a dweller in a cage
[03:13.35] Yo, run the accapella
[03:15.18] (Power of the people say)
