Public Enemy - Hell No We Ain't All Right! lyrics

[Chuck D: storm raging in the background] Does it gotta come down to this... In order to see things for what they are and what it is... We still might not be free up in this piece Or treated very equally as far as I can see... Hell no we ain't alright! [Chuck D (Flavor Flav)] Now all these press conferences, breaking news alert (this just in) While your government looks for a war to win Flames for the blame game, names where I begin Walls closin and get some help to my kin (Who cares?) While the rest of the Bush nation stares As the drama unfolds, as we the people under the stairs Fifty percent of this "Son of a Bush" nation is like, hatin on Haiti and settin up a**a**inations Ask Pat Robertson, quiz him (mmm - smells like terrorism) Racism in the news, still one-sided views Sayin whites find food Pray for the National Guard who be ready to shoot Because they be sayin us blacks loot (What is your boy "Son of a Bush" doin?) [laughing] (NUTTIN!) [Chorus 1: x3] New Orleans in the mornin afternoon and night Hell naw! {HELL NAW} We ain't alright [Chorus 2] New Orleans in the mornin afternoon and night Hell naw! "Damn, damn!" [Chuck D (Flavor Flav)] Now them fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, I don't mean to scare ... wasn't this written somewhere? Disgrace is all I be seein is hurtin black faces Moved out to all them far away places (Emergency) state, corpses alligators and snakes Big difference between this haze and (the little diamonds on the VMA's) You better look what's really important Y'all under the sun, especially if you over 21 This ain't no TV show, ain't no video (this is really real!) Beyond them same ol' keep it real quotes from them TV stars, drivin big rim cars (streets keep floodin B) No matter where you at no gas, driving is a luxury (urgency) Don't y'all know? They said it's a state of emergency Show somebody's government is far from reality (Aiyyo check one two!) [Chorus 1: repeat x4 instead of x3] [TV broadcast samples] And they don't have a CLUE of what's going on down there I'm like you've gotta be kidding me, this is a NATIONAL disaster It's awful down here man God is lookin down on all this And if they are not doin everything in their power to save people They are gonna pay the price [Chuck D (Flavor Flav)] Now I see we be the new faces of refugees, who ain't even overseas But stuck here on our knees Forget the plasma TV, ain't no electricity New world's upside down and OUT of order Shelter, food, what's up yo? (Where's the water?) No answers from disaster, them ma**es be hurtin So who the f#$! they call - HALLIBURTON?! "Son of a Bush" how you gonna just trust that cat to fix s%#t when all that help is stuck in Iraq? Makin war plans takin more stands in Afghanistan Two thousands soldiers there dyin in the sand But that's over there, right? What's over here? It's a noise so loud some of y'all can't hear But on TV I know that I can see Bunches of people, lookin just like me [Chorus 1 x4: change city/state name each refrain] [1:] New Orleans [2:] Mississippi [3:] Alabama [4:] U.S.A. [Chuck D] We definitely ain't alright And some of y'all voted for that cat! "Son of a Bush" That's right, what God giveth sometimes your country taketh away Yeah, one love, comin from Public Enemy, #1 y'all Public Enemy, 2006 (yeah) Public Enemy 2007, all gettin together now [Flavor Flav] Let me tell y'all somethin All of our hearts is out there with y'all, you know what I'm sayin? And we sendin trucks, we sendin boats Boxes of.. cans of soup and everything Clothes and all of that, shoes We donating everything to y'all, you know what I'm sayin? Don't worry, y'all ain't by yourself You need to know that
