Geto Boys - No Sell Out lyrics

[DJ Ready Red] The negro still is not free No sellout The negro still is not free No sellout [Willie D] Here's another Geto Boys' release I came to teach to those I didn't reach On the G.O., with a clean cut so Don't give me no junk about the radio Kiss it where the sun don't shine I think it's time the public knew the time Rap music, they're trying to ban it Cause blacks are getting paid and they can't stand it They say we're too violent for instance But why in the hell is Rock still in existence? I'ma tell you why it still remains, like a coat it'll hang Cause it's a white thing This attack on the black sound Is just one more plot to keep brotherman down I ain't with this, God is my witness Somebody better tell those folks I mean business And it ain't no sellout [DJ Ready Red] Black man, stand up Somebody has to speak the truth against it Black man, stand up Somebody has to speak the truth against it [Willie D] Public Enemy was dissed by the industry Cause the people they trusted sold out to the Opposition and superstition The foundation wasn't sound for the mission They said the group did something wrong But that's a lie, you heard the songs They encourage blacks to excel And when that happens, people get scared as hell Call the Police they got robbed Right under their nose, it have to be an inside job And who was that clown from Washington? The son of a ... who triple-cross them I ain't talking about the provident brother This particular chump was our color Got a scoop on the group and he ran Lock him up for impersonating a black man Uncle Tom, you want some? Rap-A-Lot ain't the one, find another son P.E. give me five, show them what you got Fight The Power Ain't no sellout [Scarface] Yo D, I'm mad as hell, man Every time a black man starts preaching the way up to the black community Them folks get to messing with him [Willie D] They call that fear of a black planet, get me? [Scarface] I got you [Willie D] Well, why don't you get up there and tell these people What the Geto Boys already know [Scarface] Sure We as a people are not yet free The first amendment only applies to the other race We never had a taste How can you see the light when you're maced? Chuck D, Flavor Flav, let 'em rip They ain't got enough wind in this trip For every voice they try to quiet There'll be another one, and another one starting a riot If that's what it takes Yo, I keep the faith, I gotta break And despite how they sabotage, they gonna have to realize That this ain't no sellout Black man, stand up Somebody has to speak the truth against it Black man, black man Somebody has to speak the truth against it [Willie D] The truth will set you free, someone quoted But Griff struck a nerve with the Jews when he told it CBS was just looking for a reason To get him out, and that was all they needed I wasn't surprised by this tactic I knew it would happen, but I didn't know exactly Triple-Cross go to hell You think since you did they would start narrating fairy tales? Think again s**er If I was a belt you couldn't make me buckle The Geto Boys still bringing the noise You're losing your poise, getting played like toys Selling the enemy info That's what got us where we was two hundred years ago Saw Dollar Signs, didn't ya Captain? Without sacrifice ain't nothing happening The plan is to hold us back The ultimate gold is total control remember that, Jack Griff, I got your slack, and I'ma hold it 'til you get back Cause I ain't going sellout [DJ Ready Red] Somebody has to speak the truth against it What do I care about anger in you? Somebody has to speak the truth against it What do I care about anger in you? The negro still is not free No sellout The negro still is not free No sellout
