Tim Commerford - Intro (Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos)(Live) lyrics

[Zack] Hey check this out right about now I wanna introduce a brotha That came all the way out here from the strong island New York And he's one of the fathers of revolutionary music In our time period He was a huge influence on us and we wanna bring him out right now So check it out We got a man by the name of Chuck D, from Public Enemy Yeah [Chuck D] Wa**up, wa**up! Wa**up, wa**up! Wa**up, wa**up! Wa**up, wa**up! [Zack] Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo [Chuck D] I'm with Rage on the stage and I back Zack Tim on the ba**, Tom in your face We got Brad on the drums, can you get some? Drummer in the ? can you get some? Pump pump on my lap at all times We murder the boom-bap This is the rage in your ear Here ye, here ye The crowd so near me, but you still don't hear me 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 the army or whatever Picture me given' 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 wit' it, but just that very minute it Occurred to me The s**ers had authority Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell How long has it been? They got me sittin' 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 servin' time, they drew the line y'all To criticize me for some crime Never the less 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, Zack, so I'm lookin' for the steel Peace y'all [Zack] C'mon y'all, give it up for Chuck D! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
