[Intro: Flavor Flav]
2
Yo Chuck, bust a move man
3
I was on my way up here to the studio, you know what I'm saying
4
And this brother stopped me and asked me
5
"Yo, what's up with that brother Chuckie D, he swear he nice?"
6
I said, "Yo, the brother don't swear he nice, he knows he's nice", you know what I'm saying
7
So Chuck, we gotta feeling you turning into a Public Enemy, man
8
Now remember that line you was kicking to me on the way out to L.A. Laurelton Queens
9
While we was in the car on our way to the shop
10
Well yo, right now, kick the bass for them brothers and let them know
11
What goes on
12
[Verse 1: Chuck D]
13
What goes on?
14
Well I'm all in, put it up on the board
15
Another rapper shot down from the mouth that roared
16
1-2-3 down for the count
17
The result of my lyrics, oh yes, no doubt
18
Cold rock rap - 49er supreme
19
Is what I choose and I use, I never lose to a team
20
Cause I can go solo, like a Tyson bolo
21
Make the fly girls wanna have my photo
22
Run in their room, hang it on the wall
23
In remembrance that I rocked them all
24
Suckers, ducks, ho-hum emcees
25
You can't rock the kid, so go cut the cheese
26
Take this application of rhymes like these
27
My rap's red hot, 110 degrees
28
So don't start bassing, I'll start placing
29
Bets on that you'll be disgracing
30
You and your mind from my beating from my rhymes
31
A time for a crime that I can't find
32
I'll show you my gun, my Uzi weighs a ton
33
Because I'm Public Enemy number one
34
[Hook]
35
One, one, one, one
36
One, one, one, one!
37
[Verse 2: Chuck D]
38
You got no rap but you want to battle
39
It's like having a boat but you've got no paddle
40
Cause I never pause, I say it because
41
I don't break in stores but I break all laws
42
Written while sitting, all bidding not hidden
43
Giving me the juice that you're not getting
44
I'm not a law obeyer, so you can tell your mayor
45
I'mma non-stop, rhythm rock, poetry sayer
46
I'm the rhyme player, the ozone layer
47
A battle what? Here's a bible so start your prayer
48
This word to the wise is justified
49
If they ask you what happened, just admit you lied
50
You just got caught up, for going out of order
51
And now you're serving football teams their water
52
You messed with the Master, word to Chuck
53
And I waxed cold taxed, make sure you got dunked
54
You just got dissed, all but dismissed
55
Sucker duck emcees you get me pissed
56
It's no fun being on the run
57
Because they got me Public Enemy number one
58
[Hook]
59
[Verse 3: Chuck D]
60
Don't you know, don't you know..
61
I got a posse of a force to back me up
62
Watch out, we got metal to match
63
Ambush attack on my back, double-team you get creamed
64
So we have it, so you won't catch
65
Wanna hear it again we got a force, enemy down
66
The L.I. circuit sound
67
And Chuckie D, myself and K-Jee, Flavor, DJ Melo-D
68
Oh yes, I presume it's the tunes that make us groom
69
To make all the ladies swoon
70
But it's also the words from our direction
71
Out the homeboy section, kicking like Bruce Lee "Chinese Connection"
72
On stereo, never ever mono
73
On wax, yes, I'm talking about vinyl
74
They said "Stop! Freeze!" I got froze up
75
Because I'm Public Enemy number one
76
[Hook]
77
[Verse 4: Chuck D]
78
For all you
79
Suckers, liars, your cheap amplifiers
80
Your crossed up wires are always starting fires
81
You grown up criers, now here's a pair of pliers
82
Get a job like your mother, heard she fixes old dryers
83
You have no desires, your father fixes tires
84
You try to sell your equipment but you get no buyers
85
It's you they never hire, you're never on flyers
86
Cause you and your crew is only known as good triers
87
Known as the poetic, political, lyrical son
88
I'm Public Enemy number one
89
[Hook]
90
[Outro: Flavor Flav]
91
Yeah, that's right Chuck, man
92
That's what you gotta do
93
You gotta tell 'em just like that, you know what I'm saying
94
Cause yo man, let me tell you a little something man
95
These brothers running around, hard headed
96
They get a little jealous, you know what I'm saying
97
Just like that, you know, they're trying to bring you down with them
98
But yo Chuck, you got to let them know who's who in the world to be
99
You got to let them know, that this is the 80's
100
And we can get all the ladies
101
And in the backyard we got a fly Mercedes
102
And that's the way the story goes
103
That's just the way the story goes
104
Let me tell you a little something man
