rage against the machine - intro (black steel in the hour of chaos) lyrics

[intro]
[zack:] hey check this out right about now….
i wanna introduce a brotha…who came all the way outta
here
from long 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:] w-ssup, w-ssup! zack: yo….
[x5]

[chuck d:] “i got a letter from the government
the other day
i opened and read it
it said they were suckers
they wanted me for their army or whatever
picture me given’ a d-mn – i said never
here is a land that never gave a d-mn
about a brother like me and myself
because they never did
i wasn’t wit’ it, but just that very minute…
it occured to me
the suckers 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, so i’m goin’ for the steel”

yeah!
