On time, get it down to pump, the Hard Rhymer

[Verse: Chuck D]

Clear the way for the prophets of rage

Engaging on the stage, on a track, t ell Jack stay in the back

I was born

Every level I'm on, you're warned

Just in case you forgot, I pump in kilowatts

To let 'em know which direction

To go what's up I wanna know

I test the front row

Forgiven the giving while the living is living it up

So many people are sleeping while standing up

Not dressed to impress or fess it

That's it test to the brain like FedEx

Treated one and the same beause the name of the game

Don't give 'em checks above necks

Some don't realize we're on the same side

Subdity in the city, suburbs or projects

But we're living in a different time

Some speed, some lead while some just pump rhymes

Then again we're all in the same gang

Info to flow and heal all below

Let's go and find the piece of mind that's taken

Or else the black starts breakin'

Public Enemy Number One

Public Enemy Number One

Public Enemy Number One

Public Enemy Number One

Public Enemy Number One

Public Enemy Number One

Public Enemy Number One

[Outro]

"One, one, one, ooh-ha!"

Public Enemy

Apocalypse '91... The Enemy Strikes Black

Hardcore will never die

"Bring that beat back, man! Bring that beat back! Bring that beat back!"
