only live, sony blocks german youtube for originals...

If you get over the fact that they work for Sony Music, RATM. Everything by RATM. I never understood why did they release Renegades, anyway.

Willie O Dea = former minister for defense in Ireland

public enemy. probably obvious but if you haven't listened to Fear of a Black Planet do as soon as possible. sounds like early "big beat" music mixed with more noise and a shitload of fury towards societal bullcrap.

if you get the album and listen up till when this track comes on it's twice as powerful. you want to tear something out

If you ain't sayin' nothin', you a system's accomplice

It should play with your conscience, do away with the nonsense

I'm overseeing anything within my circumference

This ain't a press junket, I ain't seekin' responses

I stand where the people got the heat in they pocket

You mesmerized by the calm nonchalant-ness

I spit a dart, rub on some John Hitchcock shit

If you ain't speakin' your life, your rhyme's adopted

If it don't feel right, then stop it, you nahmsayin'?

Kill 'em off, see who survives the sequel

It's un-American, niggas will never be equal

Fuck them jiggaboos, they not even people

It's not a myth; they're only three-fifths

Abe that nigga lover, what was on his mind?

Probably had nigga in him, knew he was their kind

Now a nigga for life, that's why pennies don't shine

So wave those flags with pride, especially the white part.

Not a rap per se but it's both a classic hiphop break and political, so make of it what you will:

I don’t want no computer chip in my arm

I don’t wanna die by a nuclear bomb

I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns

And grab the intercom, my first word’s will be I believe

Man made god, outta ignorance and fear

If God made man, then why the hell would he put us here?

I thought he’s supposed to be the all loving

The same God who let hitler put the jews in the oven

We don’t fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us

All this half-ass leadership, flippin position

They turn politcian and shut the hell up and follow tradition

For your tv screen, is telling lies to your vision

Every channel got some brainwashed cop shit to watch

Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots

It’s a plot, but busta can you tell me who’s greedier?

Big corporations, the pigs or the media?

Sign of the times, terrorism on the rise

Commercial airplanes, falling out the sky like flies

Make me wonder what secrets went down with bob brown (? )

Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found?

It’s not coincidence, it’s been too many studied incidents

It coulda been the klan who put that bomb at the olympics

But it probably was the fbi, deep at the call

Cuz if they make us all panic then they can start martial law
