Generate meaning
1
I got a letter from the government
2
The other day
3
I opened and read it
4
It said they were suckers
5
They wanted me for their army or whatever
6
Picture me given' a damn - I said never
7
Here is a land that never gave a damn
8
About a brother like me and myself
9
Because they never did
10
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
11
It occured to me
12
The suckers had authority
13
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
14
How long has it been?
15
They got me sittin' in the state pen
16
I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
17
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
18
I'm not a fugitive on the run
19
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
20
Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
21
To criticize me some crime - never the less
22
They could not understand that I'm a Black man
23
And I could never be a veteran
24
On the strength, the situation's unreal
25
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel
26
They got me rottin' in the time that I'm servin'
27
Tellin' you what happened the same time they're throwin'
28
4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh well
29
The same motherfucker got us livin' is his hell
30
You have to realize - what its a form of slavery
31
Organized under a swarm of devils
32
Straight up - word'em up on the level
33
The reasons are several, most of them federal
34
Here is my plan anyway and I say
35
I got gusto, but only some I can trust - yo
36
Some do a bid from 1 to 10
37
And I never did, and plus I never been
38
I'm on a tier where no tears should ever fall
39
Cell block and locked - I never clock it y'all
40
'Cause time and time again time
41
They got me servin' to those and to them
42
I'm not a citizen
43
But ever when I catch a C-O
44
Sleepin' on the job - my plan is on go-ahead
45
On the strength, I'ma tell you the deal
46
I got nothin' to lose
47
'Cause I'm goin' for the steel
48
You know I caught a C-O
49
Fallin' asleep on death row
50
I grabbed his gun - then he did what I said so
51
And everyman's got served
52
Along with the time they served
53
Decency was deserved
54
To understand my demands
55
I gave a warnin' - I wanted the governor, y'all
56
And plus the warden to know
57
That I was innocent -
58
Because I'm militant
59
Posing a threat, you bet it's fuckin' up the government
60
My plan said I had to get out and break north
61
Just like with Oliver's neck
62
I had to get off - my boys had the feds in check
63
They couldn't do nuthin'
64
We had a force to instigate a prison riot
65
This is what it takes for peace
66
So I just took the piece
67
Black for Black inside time to cut the leash
68
Freedom to get out - to the ghetto - no sell out
69
6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head out
70
But I'll give 'em a chance, cause I'm civilized
71
As for the rest of the world, they can't realize
72
A cell is hell - I'm a rebel so I rebel
73
Between bars, got me thinkin' like an animal
74
Got a woman C-O to call me a copter
75
She tried to get away, and I popped her
76
Twice, right
77
Now who wanna get nice?
78
I had 6 C-Os, now it's 5 to go
79
And I'm serious - call me delirious
80
But I'm still a captive
81
I gotta rap this
82
Time to break as time grows intense
83
I got the steel in my right hand
84
Now I'm lookin' for the fence
85
I ventured into the courtyard
86
Followed by 52 brothers
87
Bruised, battered, and scarred but hard
88
Goin' out with a bang
89
Ready to bang out
90
But power from the sky
91
And from the tower shots rang out
92
A high number of dose - yes
93
And some came close
94
Figure I trigger my steel
95
Stand and hold my post
96
This is what I mean - an anti-nigger machine
97
If I come out alive and then they won't - come clean
98
And then I threw up my steel bullets - flew up
99
Blew up, who shot...
100
What, who, the bazooka was who
101
And to my rescue, it was the S1Ws
102
Secured my getaway, so I just gotaway
103
The joint broke, from the black smoke
104
Then they saw it was rougher thatn the average bluffer
105
'Cause the steel was black, the attitude exact
106
Now the chase is on tellin' you to c'mon
107
53 brothers on the run, and we are gone
Public Enemy - Black Steel In The Hour O...
