Bring The Noise
Krafty Kuts Lyrics

Bass! How low can you go?
How low can you drop the bass and make it sound loud and powerful?

Death row, what a brother knows
A place where a condemned man awaits death is where some people learn about the harsh realities of life early on

Once again, back is the incredible
I am back here again and people think I am amazing

The rhyme animal
I am an artist who can craft stunning rhymes

The uncannable D, Public Enemy Number One
I am a unique rapper and singer with a style that cannot be matched. I am also known as the most dangerous and feared public enemy

Five-O said, "Freeze!" and I got numb
The police ordered me to stop and I instantly froze due to the fear and pressure in the moment

Can I tell 'em that I never really had a gun?
Should I explain to them that I never really carried a gun?

But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
The record that Terminator X spun had the power and influence that led to my arrest

Now they got me in a cell cause my records, they sell
The popularity and sale of my albums have led to my imprisonment

Cause a brother like me said, "Well
I was just honest and vocal about my beliefs and that has caused some trouble for me

Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
Farrakhan is a wise man and I recommend that people listen to his teachings

What he can say to you, what you wanna do is follow for now"
His words have the power to guide you and you should follow his teachings for now

Power of the people, say
The collective voice of the people has the power to bring change

"Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical"
I have the power to inspire and create miracles through my music

Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
The black community is united and determined to win against oppression

Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again
Listen up, folks, we are about to start once more

Turn it up! Bring the noise!
Increase the volume and intensity of the music!

Never badder than bad cause the brother is madder than mad
I am always the baddest, angriest person around

At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
I am angry because things are so corrupt, even more than some senators

Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
My music is on fire, but people treat it like something worthless

Cause the beats and the lines are so dope
Because the beat and lyrics of my songs are incredible

Listen for lessons I'm saying inside
Listen carefully to the messages that I am communicating through my music

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

They'll never care for the brothers and sisters
Critics and some others will never care about black people or blacks' interests

Mow, cause the country has us up for the war
Because the USA is taking advantage of the blacks by involving them in wars

We got to demonstrate, come on now, they're gonna have to wait
We have to stage a protest, and even if they try to stop us, they have to wait until we make our message and point clear

Till we get it right
Continuing our action until we get our demands met

Radio stations I question their blackness
I doubt the authenticity of radio stations that claim to be run by black people

They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this
They claim to be black, but we'll see if they have the courage to play my music

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
Please get away from the front, the crowd is trying to get to me

My deejay is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, ya know
I have a great deejay who is warm and friendly, and I refer to him as Norm

He can cut a record from side to side
He can manipulate records and produce great music in a range of styles

So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
It doesn't matter, the process of creating music should be much safer than putting your life at risk (suicide)

Soul control, beat is the father of your rock'n'roll
My control gives soul to the beat, which is the originator of rock and roll music

Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band, man
The music I create is for anyone to enjoy, even if you call it a band

Making a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
People try to misuse music, but they cannot bring it to harm

You call 'em demos, but we ride limos, too
You think our music is cheap and raw, but we also have luxurious lifestyles

Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
What can you do? Rap music is not afraid of any critics or censors

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

Run-DMC first said a deejay could be a band
The famous group Run-DMC first implied that a deejay could be just as important as a band

Stand on its feet, get you out your seat
Our music can make you stand up and dance

Beat is for Eric B. and LL as well, hell
The beat also belongs to musicians Eric B. and LL, no doubt

Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells
The music genre of heavy metal (represented by Anthrax) is still able to produce great music and fit well with rap ('rocking the bells')

Ever forever, universal, it will sell
This type of music (rap and related genres) will always be around and will always sell

Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it
It's time for me to leave, Terminator X is gone (a play on words on 'exit' and his name)

From coast to coast, so you can stop being like a comatose
From one end of the country to the other, my music can snap you back to life and energy

"Stand, my man? The beat's the same with a boast toast"
Any person can stand up and dance to the beat of the music, no need to hesitate

Rock with some pizzazz, it will last. Why you ask?
Let's rock with some flair because this music will last. Why do you ask?

Roll with the rock stars, still never get accepted as
Even though we roll with popular musicians, we still feel unaccepted

We got to plead the Fifth, we can investigate
We have to remain silent on some things (plead the Fifth Amendment) and investigate other things

Don't need to wait, get the record straight
Let's not wait, let's get straight to the point and set the record straight

Hey, posse's in effect, got the Flavor, Terminator
Hey, everybody is around and engaged, with lots of energy and the Flavor (a reference to the artist Flavor Flav), as well as Terminator X

X to sign checks, play to get paid
Terminator X is the one who signs the checks for our performances, and we play to get paid

We got to check it out down on the avenue
We have to go out and check what's going on in our environment

A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
Some magazines are criticizing me and/or you

Yeah, I'm telling you
Well, I am just saying
