Bring Tha Noize
Public Enemy with Anthrax Lyrics

Bass! How low can you go?
How deep can you sink into the dark realities of life?

Death row, what a brother knows
Awareness of the corrupt systems that lead to death and injustice

Once again, back is the incredible
Returning with an undeniable force and power

The rhyme animal
An artist who expresses himself fearlessly through powerful lyrics

The uncannable D, Public Enemy Number One
A force to be reckoned with, the top opposition to the establishment

Five-O said, 'Freeze!' and I got numb
The police tried to suppress me, leaving me feeling powerless

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

But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
But it's the records DJ Terminator X played that drove my message

Now they got me in a cell cause my records, they sell
Now I'm imprisoned because my music gained popularity

Cause a brother like me said, 'Well
Because I, as an outspoken artist, dared to speak my mind

Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
Farrakhan's teachings are profound, and everyone should pay attention

What he can say to you, what you wanna do is follow for now'
Listen to his words and consider following his guidance

Power of the people, say
The collective strength and will of the people

'Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical'
Create a transformative impact through my powerful lyrics

Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Black culture and activism are resurging, and we will ultimately triumph

Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again
Listen closely, everyone, we're embarking on this journey once more

Turn it up! Bring the noise!
Amplify the volume! Break the silence and create a stir!

Never badder than bad cause the brother is madder than mad
No one is more rebellious and furious than this artist

At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
Expressing outrage at the corrupt state of affairs, similar to a corrupt politician

Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
The essence of our music is dismissed and devalued by society

Cause the beats and the lines are so dope
Because our music's beats and lyrics are incredibly impressive

Listen for lessons I'm saying inside
Pay attention to the meaningful messages hidden in my lyrics

Music that the critics are blasting me for
Critics harshly condemn my music and its themes

They'll never care for the brothers and sisters
The critics will never truly support and understand our struggle

Mow, cause the country has us up for the war
Because the nation is preparing for war, we are marginalized and neglected

We got to demonstrate, come on now, they're gonna have to wait
We must protest and make our voices heard, even if it takes time

Till we get it right
Until we achieve true equality and justice

Radio stations I question their blackness
I challenge radio stations claiming to represent the black community

They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this
Let's test their commitment to black artists by seeing if they play our music

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
The crowd eagerly embraces me, pushing away anyone in my path

My deejay is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, ya know
My DJ, Terminator X, brings the heat and his nickname is Norm

He can cut a record from side to side
He possesses exceptional skills in mixing records seamlessly

So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Our journey and smooth flow should be less perilous than taking one's own life

Soul control, beat is the father of your rock’n'roll
Our music's soulful rhythm is the foundation of rock'n'roll

Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band, man
Our music is what you would consider a band's ultimate performance

Making a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
Attempting to replicate our music's impact is futile, you know

You call 'em demos, but we ride limos, too
You refer to our early recordings as demos, but we also enjoy success and luxury

Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
What will you do? Rap music is unafraid of resistance and opposition

Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono
The beat is tribute to Sonny Bono and Yoko Ono's artistic contributions

Run-DMC first said a deejay could be a band
Run-DMC was the first to assert that a DJ could be a complete musical act

Stand on its feet, get you out your seat
Our music stands tall, captivating listeners and compelling them to dance

Beat is for Eric B. and LL as well, hell
The beat pays homage to Eric B. and LL Cool J, showcasing their talent

Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells
Anthrax may be a rock band, but their music can still captivate and energize

Ever forever, universal, it will sell
Our music's impact is timeless and appeals to people universally

Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it
It's time for me, Terminator X, to step back and make my exit

From coast to coast, so you can stop being like a comatose
We're taking our message across the nation to awaken those who are indifferent

'Stand, my man? The beat's the same with a boast toast'
'Stand up, my friend. The beat remains powerful with a confident and triumphant toast'

Rock with some pizzazz, it will last. Why you ask?
We rock with style and flair, ensuring our music's longevity. Why do you question it?

Roll with the rock stars, still never get accepted as
Although we associate with famous musicians, society still fails to fully accept us

We got to plead the Fifth, we can investigate
We must assert our rights to remain silent and explore the truth ourselves

Don't need to wait, get the record straight
We don't need to delay, let's correct the misconceptions about us

Hey, posse's in effect, got the Flavor, Terminator
Our group is influential and powerful, featuring the charismatic Flavor Flav and Terminator X

X to sign checks, play to get paid
Terminator X signs cheques, ensuring we earn money through our performances

We got to check it out down on the avenue
We need to investigate the realities of life on the streets

A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
Several magazines criticize both me and you

Yeah, I'm telling you
Yes, I'm informing you about the reality of the situation
