Evil way


Lawlessness, Badlands
Uncivilized — you're a bad man
But even the baddest
Savages eventually get humbled by the averages

Donkey of the day, ass with no pass
Addicted to the screens, screaming for the laughs
What I got to do with you being you?
River deep, mountain high, like the best of your crew

I got the leader of the pack
That don't give a track
About nobody praying
In a whirl they be playing

Why swell your ego to think you gonna
Get away with crime?
Cameras everywhere — this ain't 1985

You got to change your evil way
No gangster — it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil way

What goes up comes back down
Gravity got a way to bring down clowns
Stumbling on the face, tumbled down a staircase
Evil is a terrible waste

Let's go — download this muther for ya
We the roll, baby

Millennial wild, crack-rugged grandchild
Bone-chillin' killers, movie-made matinee thriller
Gun, gun, gun — homie homicide, take a ride
Run, run, run — yo, you cannot hide

From your folly, hello Dolly
Unless you get a pardon
Abide by a law you and I never saw
Let these gangsters out the door

You got to change your evil way
No gangster — it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil ways

Lawlessness, Badlands
Uncivilized — you're a bad man
But even the baddest
Savages eventually get humbled by the averages

Gots the nerve of a red pickup
Truckin' mother
Son of a badass Magger
Hunting down in Badlands

Woke up mad in the mirror
With a bad attitude
Ugly is under that face, my dude

Everything ain't funny
Another slave to the money
Hunted down like a dog now
You're a slave to the runnin'

You got to change your evil way
No gangster — it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y'all to know
Change your evil ways

Change your evil ways...

Biografia

Public Enemy is an American hip hop group formed in 1982 in Long Island, New York. Considered one of the most influential groups in the history of the genre, they are known for their political and social approach to rap, with lyrics that denounce systemic racism and social injustices. Influenced by artists like Curtis Mayfield and Gil Scott-Heron, Public Enemy carried on the tradition of 'message music' incorporating elements of funk, jazz, and rock into their music. The group primarily consists of Chuck D (vocals), Flavor Flav (co-vocals and percussion) and Professor Griff (political advisor). Among their most representative songs are "Fight the Power", "Bring the Noise" and "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos". Public Enemy has released numerous successful albums, including "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" (1988) and "Fear of a Black Planet" (1990), both considered masterpieces of the genre. Their cultural impact has been enormous, contributing to defining hip-hop as a political and social force.
