Artist/Band: Public Enemy
Lyrics for Song: Lost At Birth
Lyrics for Album: Apocalypse '91...The Enemy Strikes Black [1991]



Ridenhour - robertz - gary g-wiz - depper



Clear the way for the prophets of rage

Engagin' on the stage, on a track

Tell 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 givin' while the livin' is livin' it up

So many people is sleepin' while standin' up

Not dressed to impress or fess it

That's it text to the brain like fedex

Treated one and the same

'cause the name of the game



Don't give 'em checks above necks

Some don't realize the same side

Siddity in the city

Suburbs or projects

But we're livin' in a different time

Some speed, some lead

While some jus' pump rhymes

Then again all in da 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

Or start breakin'

Public enemy no!


Lost At Birth

Public Enemy's 1991 track 'Lost At Birth' stands as a gritty, high-energy anthem from the album *Apocalypse '91...The Enemy Strikes Black*. Produced by the legendary Chuck D and Flavor Flav, the song exemplifies the group's signature blend of aggressive hip-hop, funk, and political urgency. Released during a pivotal era for hip-hop, the recording captures the raw intensity of the New York scene while addressing themes of systemic oppression and societal decay. With its driving basslines and iconic vocal delivery, the track remains a defining piece of the genre, influencing countless artists who followed in its wake. It serves as a powerful testament to Public Enemy's commitment to using music as a vehicle for social commentary.
