Artist/Band: Public Enemy
Lyrics for Song: Prophets Of Rage
Lyrics for Album: Power To The People & The Beats: Greatest Hits [2011]



With vice I hold the mike device



With force I keep it away of course



And I'm keepin' you from sleepin'



And on stage I rage



And I'm rollin'



To the poor I pour in on in metaphors



Not bluffin', it's nothin'



That we ain't did before



We played you stayed



The points made



You consider it done



By the prophets of rage



(Power of the people say)



I roll with the punches so I survive



Try to rock 'cause it keeps the crowd alive



I'm not ballin', I'm just callin'



But I'm past the days of yes y'allin'



Wa wiggle round and round



I pump, you jump up



Hear my words my verbs



And get juiced up



I been around a while



You can descibe my sound



Clear the way



For the prophets of rage



(Power of the people say)



I rang ya bell



Can you tell I got feelin'



Just peace at least



Cause I want it



Want it so bad



That I'm starvin'



I'm like Garvey



So you can see B



It's like that, I'm like Nat



Leave me the hell alone



If you don't think I'm a brother



Then check the chromosomes



Then check the stage



I declare it a new age



Get down for the prophets of rage



Keep you from gettin' like this



You back the track



You find we're the quotable



You emulate



Brothers, sisters that's beautiful



Follow a path



Of positivity you go



Some sing it or rap it



Or harmonize it through Go-Go



Little you know but very



Seldom I do party jams



About a plan



I'm considered the man



I'm the recordable



But God made it affordable



I say it, you play it



Back in your car or even portable



Stereo



Describes my scenario



Left or right, Black or White



They tell lies in the books



That you're readin'



It's knowledge of yourself



That you're needin'



Like Vescey or Prosser



We have a reason why



To debate the hate



That's why we're born to die



Mandela, cell dweller, Thatcher



You can tell her clear the way for the prophets of rage



(Power of the people you say)



It's raw and keepin' you on the floor



Its soul and keepin' you in control



It's pt. 2 cause I'm



Pumpin' what you're used to



Until the whole juice crew



Gets me in my goose down



I do the rebel yell



And I'm the duracell



Call it plain insane



Brothers causein' me pain



When a brothers a victim



And the sellers a dweller in a cage



Yo, run the accapella



(Power of the people say)
