Chuck D

[Verse 1:]
No mistako
Not just some whacko from Waco
Crazy Ill plead insanity
Just to save humanity
Be good like no Johnny
Never liked no Guliani
Cause they never could stop me
Not their imaginary Rocky
Get me then acquit me attack me
What a shock to Pataki
Here here watch a brother duck the chair
I fear only the one
Upstairs who got no pears
Im not part of the click
Its whatcha see is whatcha get
My realitites personal
Many times rhymes forget
Some aint heavy like others
But they still be my brothers
And disgusted at the other folk laughin at us
Wit the ashes to the ashes the bluntz to the bluntz
A chip off the whole block
I shock and get the word in
Maybe thats why a brother like me shoulders the burden
I smells between the white sheets
A hell of a beast
In the back lurkin
Dont front step to the circle
[Chorus:]
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Number one cause the Big Willie (yeah)
Cause for some us its a dream
But to the rest its a nightmare
[Verse 2:]
Spending more time in the air than
A flight attendant
The rhyme got winded on the way up
On what I thought was a lay up
These two cent criticizers cant size
We dont realize we all under a microscope
Of a nation of other folk
So all this nigga callin is we fallin
Attitude have we forgotten
Entertaining is todays way of picken cotton
So that the younger gees and bees
Think all we can bees is a big dreamer
In order to get a Benz or a beemer
Some stuck in that 96 Lexus per minute shit
Its that same ol story that bores me
Ignores me
My metaphors be over
That head of even heads
To some Im prophetic
To the rest Im pathetic
I led a movement of mentals
Against the feds and point spread
On beats madd noize and funky instrumentals
There once was a time
We fought the power with a rhyme
Now the attitude goin round
No use tryin
[Chorus:]
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Number one cause the Big Willie (yeah)
Cause for some us its a dream
But to the rest its a nightmare
[Bridge:]
..aha...cmon...right
Ride on, ride on yeah
We dont need to be no Big Willie
Last verse check it out..
[Verse 3:]
Got more hits than Pete Rose
Had for the Reds
Now they be on anything Deion intercepts
Except Im in a zone now getin wreck
I get around
Can I get down like Craig Mack
How can I get down
Back like rock em sock em robots who forgot it was him
Who parlayed
The styles of KRS & Rakim
And brought it to a different level
Against the so called devil
Who had the nerve to throw a bell curve
And test me, arrest me
Lemme go let I grow no
Ive been thru the afro
Its been a long time so my childhoods
Retro
Unlike today
As we be watchin us pay
The price that bugs me known that God
Dont like ugly
Got a free pair of lugz
To run quicker from the slugz
But slipped from the madd dirt
That was swept under the rug
A lil down, but not out
Not what you thought it was
Its just peace no beefs, I getz love
[Chorus]
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Number one cause the Big Willie (yeah)
Cause for some us its a dream
But to the rest its a nightmare
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Mad at the man no doubt
Althogh you feelin all right
Its feelin somebody been have left out
Number one cause the Big Willie (yeah)
Cause for some us its a dream
But to the rest its a nightmare
