paroles de chanson Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos - Single Version - Public Enemy

I got a letter from the government the other day
I opened and read it, it said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me givin′ a damn I said, "Never"
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself because they never did
I wasn't wit′ it but just that very minute
It occured to me the suckers had authority
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
How long has it been they got me sittin' in the state pen?
I gotta get out but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I′m not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun to be another one
Public enemy servin′ time
They drew the line y'all to criticize me some crime
Nevertheless, they could not understand that I′m a black man
And I could never be a veteran, on the strength
The situation's unreal, I got a raw deal
So I′m lookin' for the steel (yo Chuck, we gonna break it outta here, man)
(And we′re just trumped, G)
I'm goin' for that steel
(Word up, she just tried to put a black eye on the game)
(By keeping you in there you know)
(But they can′t keep a good man down)
(Now they got me in the cell) yo Chuck
(Now they got me in the cell) yo Chuck
(Now they got me in the cell)
Yeah
Don′t you know I caught a C-O fallin' asleep on death row
I grabbed his gun and he did what I said so
And every man′s demand got served
Along with the time they served decency was deserved
To understand my demands I gave a warnin'
I wanted the governor, y′all and plus the warden to know
That I was innocent
Because I'm militant posing a threat
You bet it′s f- up the government
My plan said I had to get out and break north
Just like with Oliver's neck I had to get off
My boys had the feds in check
They couldn't try nothin′
We had a force to instigate a prison riot
This is what it takes for peace so I just took the piece
Black for black, it′s high time to cut the leash
Freedom to get out to the ghetto, no sell out
Six C-O's we got we ought to put their head out
But I′ll give 'em a chance ′cause I'm civilized
As for the rest of the world, they can′t realize
A cell is hell, I'm a rebel so I rebel
Between bars, got me thinkin' like an animal
Got a woman C-O to call me a ′copter
She tried to get away and I popped her twice, right
Now who wanna get nice?
I had six C-O′s and now it's five to go
And I′m serious, call me delirious
But I'm still a captive, I gotta rap this
Time to break as time grows intense
I got the steel in my right hand
Now I′m lookin' for the fence
Yo Chuck, we got the dope planted
G, word to the stock, man
I′m lookin' for that fence
And I got the 98 pile chief, so it's good for the S1
Yo Chuck, we coming, man
As I ventured into the courtyard
Followed by fifty-two brothers bruised, battered, and scarred but hard
Goin′ out with a bang, ready to bang out
But power from the sky, from the tower shots rang out
A high number of dose, yes and some came close
I figure I trigger my steel, stand and hold my post
This is what I mean, an anti-nigger machine
If I come out alive, then they won′t come clean
And then I threw up, my steel bullets flew up
And to my surprise the water tower blew up
Who shot what, who, what, the bazooka was who?
And to my rescue it was the S1W's
Secured my getaway, so I just gotaway
The joint broke from the black smoke
Then they saw it was rougher than the average bluffer
′Cause the steel was black, the attitude exact
Now the chase is on, I'm tellin′ you to come on
Fifty-three brothers on the run, and we are gone
