Hell No (We Ain't Alright) |
Does it gotta come down to this… |
In order to see things for what they are and what it is… |
We still might not be free up in this piece |
Or treated very equally as far as I can see… |
Hell no we ain’t alright! |
Now all these press conferences, breaking news alert (this just in) |
While your government looks for a war to win |
Flames for the blame game, names where I begin |
Walls closin and get some help to my kin |
(Who cares?) While the rest of the Bush nation stares |
As the drama unfolds, as we the people under the stairs |
Fifty percent of this «Son of a Bush"nation |
is like, hatin on Haiti and settin up assassinations |
Ask Pat Robertson, quiz him (mmm — smells like terrorism) |
Racism in the news, still one-sided views |
Sayin whites find food |
Pray for the National Guard who be ready to shoot |
Because they be sayin us blacks loot |
(What is your boy «Son of a Bush"doin?) |
(NUTTIN!) |
New Orleans in the mornin afternoon and night |
Hell naw! |
We ain’t alright |
New Orleans in the mornin afternoon and night |
Hell naw! |
«Damn, damn!» |
Now them fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, I don’t mean to scare |
… wasn’t this written somewhere? |
Disgrace is all I be seein is hurtin black faces |
Moved out to all them far away places |
(Emergency) state, corpses alligators and snakes |
Big difference between this haze and (the little diamonds on the VMA’s) |
You better look what’s really important |
Y’all under the sun, especially if you over 21 |
This ain’t no TV show, ain’t no video (this is really real!) |
Beyond them same ol' keep it real |
«es from them TV stars, drivin big rim cars (streets keep floodin B) |
No matter where you at no gas, driving is a luxury (urgency) |
Don’t y’all know? |
They said it’s a state of emergency |
Show somebody’s government is far from reality |
(Aiyyo check one two!) |
And they don’t have a CLUE of what’s going on down there |
I’m like you’ve gotta be kidding me, this is a NATIONAL disaster |
It’s awful down here man |
God is lookin down on all this |
And if they are not doin everything in their power to save people |
They are gonna pay the price |
Now I see we be the new faces of refugees, who ain’t even overseas |
But stuck here on our knees |
Forget the plasma TV, ain’t no electricity |
New world’s upside down and OUT of order |
Shelter, food, what’s up yo? |
(Where's the water?) |
No answers from disaster, them masses be hurtin |
So who the f#$! |
they call — HALLIBURTON?! |
«Son of a Bush"how you gonna just trust that cat |
to fix s%#t when all that help is stuck in Iraq? |
Makin war plans takin more stands in Afghanistan |
Two thousands soldiers there dyin in the sand |
But that’s over there, right? |
What’s over here? |
It’s a noise so loud some of y’all can’t hear |
But on TV I know that I can see |
Bunches of people, lookin just like me |
New Orleans |
Mississippi |
Alabama |
U.S.A. |
We definitely ain’t alright |
And some of y’all voted for that cat! |
«Son of a Bush» |
That’s right, what God giveth sometimes your country taketh away |
Yeah, one love, comin from Public Enemy, #1 y’all |
Public Enemy, 2006 (yeah) |
Public Enemy 2007, all gettin together now |
Let me tell y’all somethin |
All of our hearts is out there with y’all, you know what I’m sayin? |
And we sendin trucks, we sendin boats |
Boxes of. |
cans of soup and everything |
Clothes and all of that, shoes |
We donating everything to y’all, you know what I’m sayin? |
Don’t worry, y’all ain’t by yourself |
You need to know that |
