[Intro: Flava Flav] Hey yo, Chuck, yo the world if sleepin', G We got to wake everybody up yo Hey yo, it's goin' down, baby Let everybody know how it's goin' down, baby [Verse 1: Chuck D] The way this goes down is simple, from this day forth Anything to deal with rap, STAY OFF It's just the players, no pay offs, strictly skills (uh) If you're brain's the same you'll stick to your deals And this field ain't about sellin' a mil' With the run of the mill, so just be tellin' the real It ain't like a third time fella's appeal 'Til the GOD scolds him and tells him to deal I'll allow you to write, maybe allow you to bite If you're down to fight the power here's the power to fight Overpower the mic, hit the crowd with the bomb diggy Ring the alarm, now the squads with me From way back I show now weakness when I speak this Mentally strong to keep this hit in my speeches given Now listen from the beginnin' 'til I reach the endin' My short stories winnin' and keep the beats spinnin' [Chorus: Public Enemy] You know the name, P.E.!
