Gary G-Wiz - The 13th Message / Livin' in a Zoo lyrics

[Intro: 13th Message by Chuck D] Yo, what's up?! This is the P.E.S.A. - Public Enemy Service Announcement Cause I feel this is somethin' that we got to say You see, they're tryin' to make Hardcore Rap disappear Tryin' to make it final for the vinyl Sayin' at this time for the wax to relax Black Radio, yes, I said Black Radio Is puttin' most of us to sleep in the 90s With too many, I said too many, slow jams And I wanna know where's the beats For the mind and for the feet, not the songs that's puttin' me to sleep You see, they're tryin' to make Hardcore Rap disappear By makin' the Rap DJs obsolete, right Kenny Kane? "YOU KNOW IT G" My man Kenny Kane from Tampra By makin' the Rap DJs obsolete, while program and music directors gettin' rich With kick backs and phoney seminars Your Record companies out there throw rap on the wall Still know very little about it And figure what sticks it, and what don't, won't be it And the government, awww yes, the government, they want Hardcore to vanish ICE-T's COP KILLER wasn't even a Rap record But you see, ICE-T is a rapper extraordinair And here in America it don't matter Rap is an synonymous with black And even our own don't realize that Rap is even blacker than themselves And to the whites who consider themselves an establishment They feel Rap is the beginin' of cultural overthrow In their vary own households, between themselves and their kids Oh oh, and the president, the good old president Yo, president, wanna see Hardcore go ghost CUBE is a soldier approved that it raises the roof, with the truth And the NEW WORLD ORDER, wants to see the Hardcore go the way of the Dinosaur A sticker here, a sticker there And now we wear the sticker like a padge, now what? Some wanna see us sing, because when you sing you can't get to the point quick enough In the Hardcore points as sharp and blow the whole joint up Others wanna see the Hardcore dance, and dancin' is enovlved But not when the problem gotta get solved Insurance companies and avenues and buildings and cities They treat us like thieves, but let me tell you; I'm not a thief Just because I spell relief; H-A-R-D Row to the Core will never die If it ain't us, it's somebody else they wanna k** HardCore will never die Hard is not a matter of sk**s but a battle of wills Remember that!! [Chuck D] Sk**s to k** and fill a hole We roll deep with a frown that's down Low in the meddle of jeep beats So I'm makin' a point, not stickin' bu*ts or blunts But the Terminator X and the rhythm he cuts Figure this bigger brother gonna trigger the track You know, I ain't Country and my name ain't Zack Step back to back, and take a look at the racks My world is a ghetto full of tapes and wax The CDs, they only double the tax And makin' money money, New York city to lax Tell the s**ers s**er never ever relax I'm kickin' cold facts so true It feels like I'm livin' in a zoo [Hook: Flavor Flav] Now, who wanna tell the psycho? But I'm all right though I wanna fight crazy and dirty These n***as wanna tell the psycho But I'm all right though I wanna fight crazy and dirty [Chuck D] Sayin' I'm down like psycho, where's my rifle? Right though, I ain't Michael Yo, I ain't sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time in a crime with a nine Rather find another brutal rhyme It's us verses, I put it all in verses If the sound reverses, I pump it up with curses f** sittin' in the back of the bus But don't front what we lack We got it loaded in a back pack See, they can do it to a man But with men s**ers Semi' Think that sh** before they come again No science to the wild senile Slackin' cause he's packin' like a runaway child Yeah, would I ever try to sever? Hell no, never would work if the rhyme wasn't clever Wild, in an Isle stackin' high from the floor tile Back in the rack, where the rap never seen yet Gettin' to the corner wanna scream what I gonna wanna do Feels like I'm livin' in a zoo [Hook: Flavor Flav w/ variations X2] Who wanna tell the psycho?
