Lyrics Public Enemy - Fire from the Gods

Public Enemy

What do you see when you look at me?
Am I the byproduct of tragedy?
One of the many of a lost generation, born in the ruins of a broken nation.
Politics are parlor tricks.
Hate and fear sold in different languages.
How long will it take for you to realize that we’ve had enough, and we’re over
it
You can beat me, lie to me, disrespect me, see how long it’ll take me to break
and fall apart, as if I ain’t got the heart to carry on this fight.
We’ve seen the darkest nights.
Damned me from the start when you label me
public enemy number one.
That’s alright, 'cause I’ll take you all on
You can beat me, lie to me, disrespect me as far as you can see,
you will never break me.
Beat me, lie to me, disrespect me.
Overseer, overseer, overseer.
Am I not the future?
Am I not the one to carry on the legacy?
Why is the verdict out before you even
heard me speak?
Well, I’m not torn.
You’re torn.
God tell me how long we can go on like this,
so unfocused on the bigger picture.
United we rise, divided we die, and you’re so obsessed with our demise.
The epitome of tyranny, you turned your back against me.
If this is war, you can’t win it.
You will never break my spirit.
You can beat up on my body, but you’ll never see me break and fall apart,
as if I ain’t got the heart to carry on this fight.
We’ve seen the darkest nights.
Damned me from the start when you label me
public enemy number one
Hey, hey, are you listening?
Hey, hey, can you hear me?
It goes on and on, it goes on and on.
Survival of the fittest when the hate is
so strong.
Unity, rebellion is the armor that I don, to combat the agenda.
Brick walls for the barrier, build fear and hysteria.
Drop bombs in my area.
The gun is superior.
This is the revolt coming live through your speaker.
Can’t stop, won’t stop.
You will never see us break and fall apart, as if I ain’t got the heart to
carry on this fight.
We’ve seen the darkest nights.
Damned me from the start, when you label me
public enemy number one
