Bring The Noise
Public Enemy vs Benny Benassi Lyrics

Too black, too strong
Public Enemy embodies black power and strength.

Yo, Chuck These alley trippers are still frontin' on us Show 'em that we can do this 'Cause we always knew this, ha ha Yeah, boy!
The group is confident in themselves and are dismissing anyone who doubts them.

Bass! How low can you go?
A request for the bass to be played at the lowest available frequency.

Death row, what a brother know Once again, back is the incredible rhyme animal, the incredible
The group is back and ready to deliver more incredible lyrics.

D, Public Enemy number one "Five-O" said, "Freeze!" and I got numb Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun? But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
Public Enemy has been labeled as enemy number one but they know it's the DJ who is responsible for the beats.

Now they got me in a cell 'Cause my records, they sell 'Cause a brother like me said, Well Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to What he can say to you" What you ought to do Is follow for now, power of the people, say, "Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical" Black is back, all in, We're gonna win Check it out
Public Enemy's music is powerful and has been noticed by authorities.

Hey yo, Chuck, they're sayin' we too black, man Yo, I don't understand what they're saying But little do they know they can get a smack for that, man
People are criticizing the group's blackness but they are dismissing it and warning people to be careful with what they say.

Never badder than bad 'cause the brother is madder than mad At the fact that's corrupt like a senator Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope 'Cause the beats in the lines are so dope
Public Enemy is angry at corrupt people in power and they feel like their music deserves more attention and respect.

Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music That the critics are all blasting me for They'll never care for the brothers and sisters Now across the country has us up for the war We got to demonstrate, come on now They're gonna have to wait 'til we get it right Radio stations, I question their blackness They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this
Public Enemy's music has a message but critics and radio stations are not giving them the attention they deserve.

Hey yo, Chuck, they're illin', we chillin' Yo, PE in the house, top billing Yo, Chuck, show 'em what you can do, boy
The group is relaxed and confident, urging Chuck to show off his skills.

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me My DJ is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, y'know He can cut a record from side to side So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
The group is on stage and the crowd is excited. The DJ is skilled and can easily move the music from one song to the next.

Soul control, beat is the father of your rock'n'roll Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band, man Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, y'know You call 'em demos But we ride limos, too Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
The group believes that hip-hop and rap music is the foundation for most popular music today. They also believe that rock bands copy their style.

Beat is for Sonny Bono Beat is for Yoko Ono Run-DMC first said a DJ could be a band Stand on its own feet, get you out your seat Beat is for Eric B. and LL, as well, hell Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells Ever forever, universal, it will sell Time for me to exit, Terminator X it
Hip-hop is not just music, it's a movement. Even rock bands are using hip-hop techniques to make their music more popular.

Yo, they should know by now that they can't stop this ? Word up, better keep tellin' me to turn it down But yo, Flavor Flav ain't going out like that
Public Enemy is saying that people should know by now that they can't stop them from making music. They're also warning people not to tell them to stop making their music.

From coast to coast, so used to being like a comatose Stand, my man, the beat's the same with a boast toast Rock with some pizzazz, it will last. Why you ask? Roll with the rock stars, still never get accepted as
The group is telling the listener that if they want to be noticed they need to be more confident and show some enthusiasm like a rock star.

We got to plead the Fifth, you can investigate Don't need to wait, get the record straight Hey, posse in effect, got Flavor, Terminator X to sign checks, play to get paid
Public Enemy is saying they will not confess to anything and people should just listen to their music. They are also saying that they are a team and everyone involved will get paid for their work.

You got to check it out down on the avenue A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you Yeah, I'm telling you Hey yo, Griff, ? the S1W We got to handle this We ain't goin' out like that Yo man, straight up on the Columbo tip We can do this, like Brutus 'Cause we always knew this You know what I'm sayin' There's just one thing that puzzles me, my brother What's wrong with all these people around here, man
Public Enemy is saying that they are under attack but they have a plan and they will not be defeated. They also wonder why there are so many people against them and their music.

Turn it up! Bring the noise! Turn it up! Bring the noise!
An exhortation to turn up the volume and make more noise.
