Public Enemy - Icebreaker lyrics

[Chuck D] I know a silent nation in dislocation Frustration from legislation Led to demographic in isolation Another participation in decapitation 10-4 die river deep mountain high Is a wall stuck between dying and doing time Cant ignore smack dab border war As the beat goes on, words flowed on I caught the law Pyramids machu pichu Things they don't teach you Don't apologize You were here first on this earth Before these millennial cowboys claimed their turf Now who's 1000 miles and ran Deserted in the desert Wild wild west hurt to the dirt Anti immigration Against brown swkin Sounds like brown shirts Silenced by so called legal violence Somebody had permission To put humans in this condition This land is who's land?? They must've forgot Kicking the black in the a** While keeping the brown out This one sided law makes me scream and shout I. c. e. is what I'm talking about [Sgt Hawke] Sgt hawke and I'm found where the cop be I get on illegals like I'm a paparazzi You see the flash but it ain't a camera Gunfire shells hot enough to damage ya No trafficking no drug smuggling I.c.e and we came in thugging Straight off the wire like snoop and chris You get rush like limbargh we get at you quick [Sekreto (translated in english)] What will they do when they find out about this Come for me, for what I represent This is my accent and I'm proud of it. We're bunches and cannot be stopped Absurd laws with racist intentions Benefit only to these cla**ifiers They insist, I insist - so here we go Broken chains, jumping borders Thrive or die, we're no longer satisfied Its time for power to change hands More righteous humans, is more human rights They say, they owners, but we were here first The world is free and without fear we broadcast Multi-color race, is how we're painted I have a dream and that dream has become my desire Power to my peoples, not power to the governments [Chuck D] Car radios highway hoes Motorbike types Skateboard who*es watch em close them doors Clap them hands and stomp them feet To more government wars Good man bad government Great driver wack car So I seen it before Marxism dual citizens China support Meaning yall go get a pa**port Slavery is americas past sport Homeland security Against my homeboys securing me Chained brains diaspora Comin nafta The same idea of the united states of africa Bering strait Before palin and paleface Waiting for the ice to break 70% of americans ain't been no place So the human race gets displaced While the greedy man Sees the land His plan Seize the land To feed his face A child lost in the wild Picked your food Built your house While still on exile Barbed wire and cactus the new middle pa**age To a person This new whirl odors just rehearsing [Marcus J] By the time I get to the end of my verse Calisthenics of the tongue exercising the first That's freedom of speech so I speak my right Seems to me there will always be powers to fight So chuck let them know that the bulls break ice With the power of these words that we put within a mic Like those in the past put power to pen It was number 13 made us all equal men Now arizona back to legislate the hate Guess freedom ain't free on this side of the gate But everything changes if I look a certain way Securing the homeland from how it was made Now the ice that we skate upon is definitely thin But we got to break bad to let the good begin A cold flag pole grabbed a hold of my tongue 5-0 froze and we all got dumb [Tiradiation] One man's terrorist, another's freedom fighter Future tech molotov co*ktails and a lighter Legalized gang sh**, federal b.i. You wanna buy a weapon, they won't hesitate a second Wether african, mexican, middle east of haitian They'll slaughter the indigenous and plunder your nation Petition the u.n. to gain legal traction Then call you the enemy to justify the action The brown in this world is to draw ire Of the secret society soul s**ing vampire Either I come from a long line of liars Or a degenerate senator's pants are on fire Surround you with walls to protect freedom Over-lapping laws to ensure confusion Protect your neck in the 2012 season Then bounce a check in the bank of illusion [Professor Griff] Home grown terrorist, for the benefit Can't find a title or a name that truly fits These land jackers, pale face land grabbers Caught in a border war, the stench from the border who*es Real demons, feinin for a real reason Can't truss em cause they always f**in schemin. Broke treaty's wit the redman, they said dam Klan disqized as fam, f** uncle sam Pause for the cause, open the mental doors Foreign invaders, human traffic traders Un-documented worker, want it back Panic when the brown man link wit the pro blacks Who's the real citizen, have you ever been You raped and robbed every people that ever let you in Legalized theft , of the natives land Speak with a fork tongue, rum and gun in hand The I c e, Who get's deported and who goes free Who get's detained and remains Who get's a card and who gets the blame
