Flavor Flav - Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos lyrics

[Flavor Flav] Ba** for your face, London! Everybody in the house make some noise! I want everybody in the house to say "ho!" (Ho!) Yo Chuck, kick it to 'em, man [Intro] A ballad behind bars or you could say real rock from the rock. An unusual musical happening in a most unusual place. The state prison... (Get in that cell, n***a!) [Verse 1] I got a letter from the government the other day I opened and read it, it said they were s**ers They wanted me for their army or whatever Picture me giving a damn, I said never Here is a land that never gave a damn About a brother like me and myself because they never did I wasn't with it but just that very minute it occurred to me The s**ers had authority Cold sweating as I dwell in my cell, how long has it been? They got me sitting in the state pen I gotta get out, but that thought was thought before I contemplated a plan on the cell floor I'm not a fugitive on the run But a brother like me begun to be another one Public enemy serving time They drew the line y'all, to criticize me some crime Nevertheless, they could not understand that I'm a Black man And I could never be a veteran On the strength, the situation's unreal I got a raw deal, so I'm looking for the steel [Verse 2] They got me rotting in the time that I'm serving Telling you what happened the same time they're throwing Four of us packed in a cell like slaves, oh well The same motherf**er got us living in his hell You have to realize, what its a form of slavery Organized under a swarm of devils Straight up - word 'em up on the level The reasons are several, most of them federal Here is my plan anyway and I say I got gusto, but only some I can trust, yo Some do a bid from 1 to 10 But I never did, and plus I never been I'm on a tier where no tears should ever fall Cell block and locked, I never clock it y'all Cause time and time again Time, they got me serving to those and to them, I'm not a citizen But ever when I catch a C-O Sleeping on the job, my plan is on go-ahead On the strength, I'ma tell you the deal I got nothing to lose Cause I'm going for the steel [Verse 3] Don't you know I caught a C-O Falling asleep on d**h row I grabbed his gun, then he did what I said so And every man's demand got served Along with the time they served, decency was deserved To understand my demands I gave a warning, I wanted the governor, y'all And plus the warden to know That I was innocent because I'm militant Posing a threat, you bet it's f**ing up the government My plan said I had to get out and break north Just like Oliver's neck, I had to get off My boys had the feds in check They couldn't do nothing We had a force to instigate a prison riot This is what it takes for peace So I just took the piece Black for Black inside time to cut the leash Freedom to get out to the ghetto, no sell out 6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head out But I'll give 'em a chance, cause I'm civilized As for the rest of the world, they can't realize A cell is hell, I'm a rebel so I rebel Between bars, got me thinking like an animal Got a woman C-O to call me a copter She tried to get away, and I popped her Twice, right? Now who wanna get nice? I had 6 C-Os, now it's 5 to go And I'm serious, call me delirious But I'm still a captive, I gotta rap this Time to break as time grows intense I got the steel in my right hand, now I'm looking for the fence [Verse 4] I ventured into the courtyard Followed by 52 brothers bruised, battered, and scarred but hard Going out with a bang, ready to bang out But power from the sky and from the tower shots rang out A high number of dose, yes and some came close Figure I trigger my steel, stand and hold my post This is what I mean, an anti-n***a machine If I come out alive and then they won't come clean And then I threw up my steel bullets flew up And to my surprise the water tower blew up, who shot What, who, what, the bazooka was who And to my rescue, it was the S1Ws Secured my getaway, so I just got away The joint broke, from the black smoke Then they saw it was rougher than the average bluffer Cause the steel was black, the attitude exact Now the chase is on telling you to c'mon 53 brothers on the run, and we are gone
