Public Enemy - Beyond Trayvon Lyrics






[Professor Griff]
From the pages of the cress theory, I know you hear me
If you out there, listen up, u might feel me
Do I, look suspicious on this track, wit the black in it
Black hoodie, consciousness and black facts
Young kid shot, is the cry we heard
Like emmitt til, it was tears and our hearts fell
No arrest warrant and no weapon found
One eye witness, black body down
I can hear it now, it's the same ole racist shit
Thought he had a gun, is the same ole some bullshit
Confessions, of a trigger happy hit man
Murderous homicidal nature, there racist plan
Burying our black boys, blood thirsty hungar games
The face of race is white, they got no shame
Stand your ground, legalize lynch law
Touch another black kid you have to touch us all

[Rahmega]
Its time to stand up and just fight for what you believe in
I don't call it violence I just call it self defense, call it black intelligence braw to you by the people
You just in it to get it, I am in it to make a change, in it to change the game, in it to rearrange, modern day lynching

All that leave us is pain, knowledge is power, all I give you is with brains, you see its money power respect, all seems the same.

[Khalilwho]
Get fear looks
But I live round here
My house right next to yours
But I still get stares
In a
World of wrongness
And fights for the strongest
What's the innocent to do
When the fight gets brought kid
No way your that scared of my hoodie
People everywhere getting snared over hoodies
Seen a couple pairs get aired by the hoodies
But
They don't care
My skin's bared under hoodies

[Jamal Malik aka Young Junior]
This world is so chaotic
all I witness is violence
Watching my brothers die and their sons grow with no guidance
Truth's what I'm providing
to all those who've been blinded
Being sold this equality bullshit I ain't buying
I'm so sick and tired of being profiled and instantly
Watched close suspiciously because of my ethnicity
So stereotypical its despicable
And every black male in a hoodie isn't a criminal

[Goonie B]
This is everyday life where I'm from it goes on but I swear it can not go beyond trevon because I'm wearing a hoodie I gotta get shot or stopped by the cops its not just in flordia its out in farrock people really expect us to act civil right we got a black president and still fighting for civil rights we need to come togeather and unite because its time to fight the power so put your fists up in the sky

[Chuck D]
Freed the ass
Mind followed
With raps that killed tomorrow
Cant support it
Fought it
But somebody bought it
Community caught it
But the government taught it
And all you heard
Violence hard drugs sex and murder
Songs never hated artists who
Keep making em
Strong against the wrong
Whats been created
But look
Many neighborhoods still devestated
I say it
Flows overrated
Shows underrated
I hate it
When its degrated and downgraded
Spittin copywritten
To music
Some of yall grew up to use it
People don't dance to it and just abuse it
Yall say that
When I say this
Injustice still goes on
Beyond trayvon
Thank you nme sun
For this word to the young
You the future
Save our daughters and sons

    Don't Give Up The Fight

    Public Enemy

    DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT LYRICS

    [Verse 1: Chuck D]
    I occupy the planet Earth
    I testify, it's a piece of work
    I'm gratified down to the dirt
    Been around the world a few times, I seen the hurt
    Quakes, hurricanes, and tornadoes
    Warning times to man's designs
    Under that concrete y'all call the street
    Is the heart of land, you can hear the beat

    [Bridge]
    The pain in all the lies, uh
    And the pain in all them lives
    The pain of losin' homes, yeah
    With the pain of the unknown, yeah
    And the pain of what you spent
    The pain of government
    No matter what you say, you don't pay
    Here they come to take it away
    So don't give it up

    [Hook: Ziggy Marley and Flavor Flav]
    Don't give up
    You don't give up the fight (2x)

    [Verse 2]
    The foreign lands and the seven seas
    Radiation is the world's disease
    Bringing nations down to the knees
    Mother Nature, she ain't pleased
    Trees diseased, deep freeze
    Doin' us like that government cheese
    Smell that burning in the breeze
    Summertime 120 degrees

    [Bridge]

    [Verse 3: Ziggy Marley:]
    (Hey!) Pay close attention
    Don't be distracted by invention
    All the rappers around the nation
    This is how you'll find redemption

    [Verse 4:]
    So shut 'em down in appreciation
    Of the world itself and God's creation
    What good is the 'hood if you up to no good
    Them government gangsters would hang you on wood
    Stop the tape, my mind's stuck in '68
    Haight Asbury, now our ass buried in hate
    I paraphrase beyond the gaze
    A haze hovers over a crowd that disobeys

    [Hook]

    (How to fight the power, cannot run and hide) (x4)
    (How to fight the power, cannot run and hide, shouldn't be suicide) (x4)
