public enemy - who's your hero? lyrics

[verse 1]
chuck d and i’m a keep on spreadin’
them names of livin’ and dead legends ’til armageddon
i save and support those makin a livin’ against those makin’ a k!lling
uh, i crush the villain
diametrically opposed, my mind’s able to leap and beat down
all the clowns in a single bound
i’m fit for some comic strip, save the silenced
from punks drunk off the threat of violence
my secret ident-ty is hated for what i am
instead of loved for what i’m not, godd-mn, i’m a man
not judged by what i got
if rap games like a sport, who the h-ll cares what i bought?
this is chuck, here to sn-tch up and bag up
ignorance no matter where it is, no matter where you are
“bulls on parade,” i rain on that charade
played in the shame, this hero’s a deeper shade
now why wouldn’t i be cantankerous?
at this stage and age, i be spinnin’ like a 45
video chicks the reason they peep them fl!cks
villain seed implanted so they take it for granted
in order to lead the people, you gotta love the people
to save the people, you must serve the people
to teach the people, you better reach the people
but only if you care, yo, who’s your hero?

[verse 2]
evil suits and ties attemptin’ to try
to flip the impressionable scripts of masterminds
feels like a jungle sometimes, makes me wonder
if rap is the new cointelpro makin’ us all go under
sounds of criminal thunder, call it my hate thats stoppin’ ya
i’m too old to be popular
i ain’t faster than no speeding bullet, i can’t fly
and i d-mn sure ain’t high
you wanna know why? here’s a page from ’69
“peace!” and that don’t mean no crooked police
avoid that pork at all costs and them old beefs
cause is fuel for the motor, foolin’ you to fill the quota
that’s why i hate that scarface fl!ck
not brad jordan, but that al pacino shirt you sportin’
yeah i said it, perhaps you ain’t read it if you was black or brown
your -ss d-mn sure wouldn’t be down
too many clowns promoting criminal backgrounds
using crime like sugar to get them kids hyper
these new pied pipers is the new cointelpro
that’s right, who’s your hero?

[pre-hook]
try for the money, even die for the money
cry for the money ’cause they try for the money
even die for the money, cry for the money

[verse 3]
i paid attention way back when
krs-one said “love’s gonna getcha” so it gets stuck in my kitchen
so many cats switchin’ to get on that old road to riches
stupid, talkin bout snitchin’
whole lotta k!llin’ with the so called bling
hides the villain, twisted thuggin into lovin just to get her
supported by mixtape dj’s who supposed to know better
time for some action
against the whippings of m-ss distraction
who’s your hero?
