Bring the Noise
Anthrax[www.illutrix.com] Lyrics

Bass! How low can you go?
How low can the bass go?

Death row, what a brother knows
Brothers know about death row

Once again, back is the incredible
Once again, the incredible is back

The rhyme animal
I'm the rhyme animal

The uncannable D, Public Enemy Number One
I am the unstoppable D, Public Enemy Number One

Five-O said, "Freeze!" and I got numb
The police ordered me to freeze and it made me numb

Can I tell 'em that I never really had a gun?
Can I confess to never having a gun?

But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
But it's the vinyl record spun by Terminator X

Now they got me in a cell cause my records, they sell
They have me in jail because my records sell

Cause a brother like me said, "Well
Because a guy like me said,

Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
Farrakhan is a prophet and I recommend listening to him

What he can say to you, what you wanna do is follow for now"
His message might inspire you to follow for now

Power of the people, say
People have the power, say

"Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical"
David should create a miracle and rap

Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Black people are back and we're going to win

Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again
Listen up, folks, it's happening again

Turn it up! Bring the noise!
Increase the volume and cause a commotion

Never badder than bad cause the brother is madder than mad
I am never worse than bad and always angrier than angry

At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
I'm angry about the corruption in politics

Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
Our music is hot, but you treat it like something worthless

Cause the beats and the lines are so dope
The beats and the lyrics are really good

Listen for lessons I'm saying inside
Listen to the messages I put in the song

Music that the critics are blasting me for
Music that the critics are criticizing me for

They'll never care for the brothers and sisters
They'll never care for the black community

Mow, cause the country has us up for the war
Because the country has us up for the war now

We got to demonstrate, come on now, they're gonna have to wait
We need to protest, and they'll have to wait for us

Till we get it right
Until we fix what's wrong

Radio stations I question their blackness
I question the authenticity of some black-owned radio stations

They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this
They claim they're black, but let's see if they'll endorse this song

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
Get out of my way, the crowd is coming towards me

My deejay is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, ya know
My dj is great, I call him Norm, you know

He can cut a record from side to side
He's really skilled in manipulating music

So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
The ride should be enjoyable, safer than risking your life

Soul control, beat is the father of your rock'n'roll
Soulful music and beats are the inspiration of rock and roll music

Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band, man
Music that's for what you like or call a band, my friend

Making a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
Making music and misusing it, but you can't do that, you know

You call 'em demos, but we ride limos, too
You call them demos, but we also ride in luxury cars

Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
What are you gonna do? Rap music is not scared of you

Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono
The beat belongs to Sonny Bono and Yoko Ono

Run-DMC first said a deejay could be a band
Run-DMC was first to suggest a DJ could be a band

Stand on its feet, get you out your seat
It will get you dancing and standing on your feet

Beat is for Eric B. and LL as well, hell
The beat belongs to Eric B. and LL Cool J as well, expression of surprise

Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells
Vinyl records are for Anthrax music, and still it can excite people

Ever forever, universal, it will sell
It will always be universal and sell well

Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it
It's time for me to leave, Terminator X exit

From coast to coast, so you can stop being like a comatose
All across the country, so you can stop being inactive

"Stand, my man? The beat's the same with a boast toast"
Are you ready, man? The beat's the same but with a boastful touch

Rock with some pizzazz, it will last. Why you ask?
Rock with some flair, it will last long. Do you wonder why?

Roll with the rock stars, still never get accepted as
Hang out with rock stars but still not fully accepted

We got to plead the Fifth, we can investigate
We have to keep the right to remain silent and investigate

Don't need to wait, get the record straight
No need to wait, let's get the truth out

Hey, posse's in effect, got the Flavor, Terminator
Hey, the squad is here and ready, with Flavor and Terminator

X to sign checks, play to get paid
Terminator X signs the checks and plays to get paid

We got to check it out down on the avenue
We have to go check it out down on the street

A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
A few magazines are attacking me and you

Yeah, I'm telling you
Yes, I'm telling you
