[Intro: DJ Ready Red scratching quotes below w/echoes] The Negro, the negro still... is not free [Scarface:] No Sell out! The Negro, the negro still... is not free [Scarface:] No Sell out! [Willie D:] Here's another Geto Boys' release I came to teach to those I didn't reach On the jail, with a clean cut so Don't give me no joke about the radio Kids play where the sun don't shine I think it's time to Public knew the time Rap Music, they're trying to band it Cause blacks are getting paid and they can't stand it They say we're too violence for an instance But why in the hell just Rock still an existence? I'm a tell you why it still remains like the cord of the hang Cause it's a white thing This is a tag on the black sound It's just one more plot to keep brother/man down I ain't with this, God is my witness Somebody better tell those folks I mean business And it ain't no sell out [Chorus: DJ Ready Red scratching the quote below] 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 is 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 ain't curse black to excel And when that happens, people'll get scared as hell Call the Police they got rob Right under that nose, it have to be an inside job And who was that clown for Washington? The son of a b**h who tripped across Tom I ain't talking about the provident brother This particular chumpas our color Got a scoop on the group and he ran Lock him up for impersonating the black man! Uncle Tom, you want some? Rap-A-Lot ain't the one, find another son PE give me five, show them what you got FIGHT THE POWER! -> Public Enemy Ain't no sell out [Break:] [Scarface:] Yo D, I'm mad as hell, man Every time the black man starts preaching the way up To the black community, them folks get the messing with him [Willie D:] They call that Fever 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 the people, are not yet free The first commitment, only applied to the other race We're never had a taste How can you sieve delight when you're mixed? Chuck D, Flavor Flav, let them rip They ain't got enough brain in this trip For every voice they try to quite There'll be another one, and another one starting to bright If that's what it takes Y'all keep the fake, I gotta break And despite how they sabotage, they gonna have to realize That this ain't no sell out [Chorus: w/ Variation] 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 would set you free, someone quoted it That Griff stuck in nerve with the j**s when he told it CBS was just looking for a reason To get them out, and that was all they're needing I wasn't surpriced but it's tactic I knew it would happen, but I didn't know exactly Tripper Cross go to hell You think this sh** you did, that would starting notary fairy tales? Think again s**er If I was a budget you couldn't make me bucker 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 what we was 2 hundred years ago Sold Dollar Signs, didn't you Captain? Without sacrifice ain't nothing happening The plan is to hold us back The ulitmate gold is total control remember that, Jack Griff, I got your slack, and I'm a hold it 'til you get back Cause I ain't going sell out [Outro: DJ Ready Red scratching quotes below] 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, the negro still... is not free [Scarface:] No Sell out! The Negro, the negro still... is not free [Scarface:] No Sell out! The Negro, the negro still... is not free [Scarface:] No Sell out! The Negro, the negro still... is not free [Scarface:] No Sell out!
