haha
SO my english teacher made us watch DO the Right Thign by Spike Lee. By the way its a good movie. And there's a song in there by Public Enemy called "Fight the Power". And he spent all the time typing up the lyrics to it for me and every other student int eh class. So instead of throwing it away I am putting it in here. MUAHAHAHA. Yes its weird but too bad.
"1989 the number another summer (get down)
Sound of the funky drummer
Music hittin' your heart cause I know you got sould
(brothers and sisters, hey)
listen if you're missin' y'all
Swingin' while I'm singin'
Givin' whatcha gettin'
Knowin' what I know
While the Black band's sweatin'
And the rhythm rhymes rollin'
Got to give us waht we want
Gotta give us what we need
Our freedom of speech is freedom or death
We got to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear you say
Fight the power
Chorus (fight the power..)
As the rhyth designed to bounce
What counts is that the rhyme's
Designed to fill your mind
Now that you've realized the pride's arrived
We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart
It's a start, a work of art
To revolutionize make a change nothin's strange
People, people we are the same
No we're not the same
Cause we don't know the game
What we need is awareness, we can't get careless
You say what is this?
My beloved let's get down to business
Mental self-defensive fitness
(Yo) bum rush the show
You gotta go for what you know
Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be
Lemme hear ya say...
Fight the Power
Chorus
Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
simple and plain
Mother fuck him and John Wayne
Cause i'm black and I'm proud
I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped
Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps
Sample a look back you look and find
Nothing but rednecks for 400 years if you check
Don't worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damn if I say it you can slap me right here
(Get it) let's get this party started right
Right on, c'mon
What we got to say
Power to the people no delay
To make everybody see
In order to fight the powers that be
(Fight the power)
Wow. What a bunch of hypercrites. I just realized how stupid this song actually is. No offense if any of you like it, but god damn.
