Public Enemy Public Enemy Number Won (feat. Mike D, Adrock & Run-DMC)
[Intro (Skit): Ad-Rock & Mike D of Beastie Boys]
Yo, Mike D
Yo, what up Ad-Rock
Remember that time in '85 when we were in our van, we driving through Cleveland and...
Oh, oh you in that weird rash all over your body
NO! I mean yes, but no
I'm talking about when Rick gave us the demo tape of Public Enemy
Yo, we played that shit back and forth like about a million times
That shit was nice
So nice, you know I've been thinking we should call Chuck D on the phone right now and ask him
What goes on ?
[Scratches]
[Verse 1: Flavor Flav]
I'm all in put it up on the board
Another rapper shut down from the mouth that row
1, 2, 3 double for the count
To reach out to my lyrics oh yes no doubt
Cold rock rap, forty-niner supreme
It's what I choose and I use I never lose to a team
I can go solo like a tight symbolo
Make a fly girl wanna have my dolo
Run in the room hanging on the wall and
Remembering instead I rocked 'em all
Suckers talk to Run, MC's
You can't rock against him so go to Chuck N Cheese
For this application the rhymes like bees
My rap sweat hot from the 10 degrees
So don't start basin'
I start pushing
Bad to a neck, it'll be disgracing
You and your mind won't be in a rhyme
A time for grind that I can't find
I show you my gun, my Uzi weighs a tonne
Word to Public Enemy number won
[Scratches]
[Verse 2: Rev Run]
From the tippy tippy top
Never taking a L
Nobody rock so hot so well
Like the rugged D, the man you see
Rock it to the rhythm of the sure shot beat
Say one for the treble, two for the bass
Rhyme for the mind, shine on your face
Three for the reign, and four for the two
Five cuz I'm live straight from the crew
Six for my game nah I ain't gon' stop this
Got my whole swag from two fifth and Hollis
Run got the wisdom, D got the knowledge
Straight from the dome, air tight and polished
Seven to the eight and nine times I say
Run go be great top ten today
Eleven emcees they all try to flex
When Run grab the mic and took flying stick
[Verse 3: DMC]
There was a time when I was losing it
Alcohol I was abusing it
The wealth of health I wasn't choosing it
To help myself I wasn't doing it
Mom and dad they mean a lot to me
They helped me get where I got to be
But they told me they adopted me
To help me fulfill prophecy
I did not know how I have enemy
In Jack and Gin and Hennesy
They came friend in me
With the intent of ending me
Taking my power like Kryptonite
Cause it is known when I get to mic
I go into a zone and I rip the mic
Just like these rhymes that I spit tonight
To get on the stand how much it took
To kick that essence and leave 'em shook
Kill all the clowns and crush the crooks
Cuz I'm a super hero in the comic books
Make believe into reality
I'm everything I pretend to be
Everything I need is inside of me
And anything else is the enemy
[Scratches]
Terminator X
Before we get started
Now here's a little story we got to tell
And they sound so def, you know so well
It started way back in history
With the Beastie Boys, LL Cool J
Run-DMC and Public Enemy
[Verse 4: Chuck D]
Rick was a label with two turntables
And a mic mc's do what you like
'83 being in the place to be
'84 rhyming to open doors
Def to the Jam and know who I am
Stand to the job and I crack the force
I got a posse of force that back me up
Watch out we got rhythm to match
Ambush attack on my team double team you get creamed
You got it so you don't catch
Wanna hear it again
We got a force, Def Jam down
The OG circuit sound, Public Enemy
LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Flav, Run-DMC check out the protection
Rock The Bells in the section
Kicking like Bruce Lee's Chinese Connection
All stereo never ever mono
All wax just I'm talking about vinyl
The world said freeze we unfrozen
They got me public enemy number won
[Samples]
I'm like this y'all, I'm like this and this and this and this y'all
Check this y'all, I'm like this y'all
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to be a witness
To the one and only to DJ Lord
Public enemy number won
[Outro]
We gonna let you hear a little bit of that later
Some of that Public Enemy, you stay tuned for that
