Bring tha Noise 20XX
Public Enemy Feat. Zakk Wylde Lyrics

Bass! How low can you go?
Let's start things off with a bang. How low can the bass go?

Death row what a brother knows
Brothers on death row know what's up. They know the system is rigged.

Once again, back is the incredible
Here we are again, and this time we're as incredible as ever.

The rhyme animal
I'm a lyrical beast - the rhyme animal.

The incredible D. Public Enemy number one
I'm D, and I'm Public Enemy number one. Nobody can touch me.

Five-O said "Freeze!" and I got numb
The cops told me to freeze, and I was so scared I couldn't even move.

Can't I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
I never had a gun, but will they believe me if I tell them?

But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
It's the music that my DJ, Terminator X, created that got us in this mess.

Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records they sell
They put me in jail because my music is popular and people buy it.

'Cause a brother like me said "Well
I got thrown in jail because I spoke my mind.

Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
Minister Farrakhan is a wise man, and people should listen to what he has to say.

What he can say to you, what you ought to do"
We all need to follow Minister Farrakhan's teachings and do the right thing.

Follow for now, power to the people say,
We need to stick together and fight against the oppression we face.

"Make a miracle. D, pump the lyrical"
I'm going to work magic with my words and show everyone what I'm capable of.

Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Black people are back and we're all in this fight together. We're going to win.

Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again
Pay attention, everyone. We're doing it again.

Turn it up! Bring tha noize!
Let's crank up the volume and make some noise! It's time to bring our message to the masses.

Never badder than bad 'cause the brother is madder than mad
I'm not just bad, I'm the worst. And I'm angry - angrier than anyone.

At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
I'm angry about the corrupt politicians and the broken system that allows it.

Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
Our music is on fire right now, but you treat it like a joke or a novelty item.

'Cause the beats in the lines are so dope
You can't deny that our beats and lyrics are amazing.

Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music
Pay close attention to the message I'm conveying within my music.

That the critics are blasting me for
Critics are tearing me down for what I'm trying to say.

They'll never care for the brothers
The critics and those in power will never care about the struggles and needs of the everyday people.

And sisters now across the country has us up for the war
People across the country are rising up and fighting for change.

We got to demonstrate, come on now, they're gonna have to wait
We need to take to the streets and show them what we're capable of. They're going to have to listen.

Till we get it right
We have to keep fighting until we create the change we want to see.

Radio Stations I question their blackness
I'm not sure these radio stations are really representing black people and our struggles.

They call themselves black, but we'll see if they play this
Let's see if these radio stations will actually play our music and help us spread our message.

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
I'm the one leading this movement, and the people are following me.

My deejay is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, ya know
My DJ, Terminator X, is the man. He's amazing at what he does, and I respect him a lot.

He can cut a record from side to side
Terminator X is a master of his craft. He can work his magic on any record.

So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Our music is meant to lift people up and transport them to a better place. It should be a safe escape from the harsh realities of life.

Soul control, beat is the father of your rock'n'roll
The soul in our music is what gives it life. The beat is what sets it apart and makes it stand out.

Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band, man
Our music is for everyone, in any situation. It's not just for certain people or genres.

Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
We're making great music, and people are trying to use it for their own benefit. But they can't take away from what we've created.

You call 'em demos, but we ride limos, too
We started from the bottom, but now we're riding high. We're living the good life.

Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
We're not backing down from anyone. We won't be silenced.

Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono
Our music is for everyone - even people who might not seem like they'd be into it.

Run DMC first said a deejay could be a band
We're building something new and exciting. DJs can be artists in their own right - they can be a whole band.

Stand on its feet, get you out your seat
Our music is meant to move you. It's not just background noise - it's meant to get you up and dancing.

Beat is for Eric B, and L.L. as well, hell
We respect and admire other artists who are doing their thing, like Eric B and L.L. Cool J.

Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells
Even the hardest rock bands like Anthrax can appreciate and enjoy our music.

Ever forever, universal, it will sell
Our music will stand the test of time. It's universal and will always find an audience.

Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it
I have to go now, but my DJ Terminator X will keep the music going strong.

From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose
We're bringing our message from one coast to the other, waking people up and making them pay attention.

'Stand, my man? The beat's the same with a boast dose
Stand up and be proud of who you are. Our music is meant to lift you up and make you feel great.

Rock with some pizzazz, it will last why you ask?
Our music has style and substance. It's not just a flash in the pan - it will last because it's meaningful.

Roll with the rock stars, still never get accepted as
We're doing big things and hanging out with rock stars, but we still don't get the respect we deserve.

We got to pleed the fifth, we can investigate
We have to be careful what we say and do. We're under a lot of scrutiny.

Don't need to wait, get the record straight
We don't have time to waste. We need to tell our story and set the record straight.

Hey, posse's in effect, got the Flavor Terminator
We're all working together as a team to spread our message far and wide. And we've got Terminator X on the beat.

X to sign checks, play to get paid
Terminator X is making big moves - he's signing checks and making money.

We got to check it out down on the avenue
We're taking our message to the streets and making sure the people hear it.

A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
The mainstream media is trying to discredit us and make us look bad.

Yeah, I'm telling you
But we won't be silenced. We're going to keep speaking out and fighting for what's right.
