Black Is Back Songtext
von Public Enemy

Full blown
Rap, rock and roll
Whatever happened to solid gold?
Ain′t like it can't and won′t get sold
Sold by the same cats that stole yo' soul

Back on a track that don't sound too old
What′s goin′ on? I don't know, it′s trouble
Back in black to bust that bubble
Black superman's back, not daredevil

Don′t wear throwbacks 'cause I′m a throwback
So I threw that throwback on the racks
So let's go back, just way on back
Before 8 Tracks and Cadillacs

Cats still on crack, screamin' what they lack
And it started with your baby on Similac
Don′t get me started, get it up to speed
Gettin′ back your soul is what you need


You (hey), you (c'mon)
Black is back, yeah, black is back yeah
Alright, yeah, alright, yeah
You′ve got to get this straight
Black is back, yeah (c'mon)
Bl-bl-ack is back
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You′ve got to get this straight
Black is back

Get on the soul train, getcha soul drained
If ya soul's drained backed right to yo′ brain
Keep the people's away from P.E. the peeps
So the top ten joints keep 'em all asleep

So what they got, you think is hot
But the real things in life your soul forgot
Don′t hear it on the radio or MTV
And I damn don′t know about BET

You (hey), you (c'mon)
Black is back, yeah, black is back yeah
Alright, yeah, alright, yeah
You′ve got to get this straight
Black is back, yeah (c'mon)
You (hey), you (c′mon)
Bl-bl-ack is back
Yeah, yeah
You've got to get this straight (c′mon)


If we can't reach 'em, damn can′t teach ′em
Somebody hatin' ′cause we got the information
Do this once a moon like an eclipse
So back to the politics off my lips

Tell the scurred beware of them ghetto tricks
Tell the government, please stay off my dick
The criss whatever I never sip
Keep the whole damn bottle, I don't even trip

You (hey), you (c′mon)
Black is back, yeah, black is back yeah
Alright, yeah, alright, yeah
You've got to get this straight
Black is back, yeah (c′mon)
Hey, hey
Bl-bl-ack is back
Get this done son, PE soon
You've got to get this straight
Come on

So why'd you step boy
Grande, grandissimi (boy)
We′ve got the back, boy
