Bring the Noise!

[Kire]

Bass! How low can you go?
Death row. What a brother knows.
Once again back is the incredible
the thyme animal
the incredible D Public Enemy Number One
"Five O" said "Freeze!" and I got numb
Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
But it's the wax that the Terminator X spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records they sell
'Cause a brother like me said "Well...
...Frarrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
what he can say to you, what you ought to do."
Follow for now, power of the people, say,
"Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical"
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again

Chorus: Turn it up! Bring the noise!

Never badder than bad 'cause the brother is madder than mad
At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
Soul on roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
'Cause the beats in the lines are so dope
Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music that the critics are blasting
me for
They'll never care for the brothers and sisters
now across the country has us up for the war




We got to demonstrate, come on now, they're gonna have to wait
Till we get it right
Radio stations I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this

Chorus: Turn it up! Bring the noise!

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
My deejay is warm, he's X, I call him Norm, ya know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Soul control, beat is the father of your rock'n'roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band, man
Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
You call 'em demos, but we ride limos, too
Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono
Run-DMC first said a deejay could be a band
Stand on its feet, get you out your seat
Beat is for Eric B. and LL, as well, hell
Wax is for Anthrax, still it can rock bells
Ever forever, universal, it will sell
Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it

Chorus...

From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose
"Stand, my man? The beat's the same with a boost toast
Rock with some pizzazz, it will last. Why you ask?
Roll with the rock stars, still never get accepted as
We got to plead the Fifth, we can investigate
Don't need to wait, get the record straight
Hey, posse's in effect, got the Flavor Terminator
X to sign checks, play to get paid
We got to check it out down on the avenue
A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
Yeah, I'm telling you...

1. I used to LOVE that song.

Small town white kid jamming to Public Enemy. It doesn't get any more ridiculous. I liked the bastardized duet with Anthrax as well.

[Kire]

2. I saw Anthrax and PE do that live at Madison Square Garden

great show, Alice in Chains, Megadeth and Slayer, too

seat cushions were ripped out and all kinds of stuff was thrown around during Slayer

I got a shiner in the eye during Anthrax

Clash of the Titans, 1991

3. Twas the emergence of real slam dancing and mosh pits then.

I bet that show was absolute chaos. I've been to shows where I wouldnt' even venture near the pit for fear that I might be killed.

[Kire]

4. I hadn't been in one in ten years until last winter.

I went to see Social Distortion. I was terrified waiting for it, but it was a lot of fun. I was in the pit through about two-thirds of the show.

I got an elbow in the mouth and a bruise on my lip got infected to the point that even straws wouldn't help.

5. You are braver than I.

I wouldn't last 2 minutes in that.

[Kire]

6. I can't wait for the next one.

but I think it will be a while
