Harder than you think


verse 1

WHAT GOES ON?
ROLLIN STONES OF THE RAP GAME NOT BRAGGIN
LIPS BIGGER THAN JAGGER , NOT SAGGIN
SPELL IT BACKWARDS
IM A LEAVE IT AT THAT..

THAT AINT GOT NOTHIN TO DO WITH RAP
CHECK THE FACTS EXPOSE THOSE CATS
WHO POSE AS HEROS AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BLACKS
YOUR GOVERNMENTS GANGSTER SO CUT THE CRAP
A WAR GOIN ON SO WHERE YOU AT?

FIGHT THE POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBLITY
F THE POLICE BUT WHOS STOPPIN YOU FROM KILLIN ME?
DISASTERS , FIASCOS OVER A LOOP BY PE
IF ITS AN I INSTEAD OF WE
BELIEVIN TV
SPITTIN RICHES , BITCHES, AND THIS NEW THING ABOUT SNITCHES
WATCH THEM ASSES MOVE THE MASSES SWITCHES
SYSTEM DISSED THEM BUT BARELY MISSED HER
MY SOUL INTENTION TO SAVE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

GET UP

GET UP

GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT

verse 2

SCREAMIN GANGSTA 20 YEARS LATER
OF COURSE ENDORSED WHILE CONSCIOUSNESS FADED
NEW GENERATIONS BELIEVING THEM FABLES
GANGSTER BOOGIE ON TWO TURNTABLES

SHOW NO LOVE SO ITS EASY TO HATE IT
DESECRATED WHILE THE CORONER WAITED
ANY GIVEN SUNDAY SO WHERE YALL RATE IT?
WIT SLAVERY, LYNCHING , AND THEM DRUGS INFILTRATED

IM LIKE THAT DOLL CHUCKIE , BABY
KEEP COMIN BACK TO LIVE LOVE LIFE LIKE I'M CRAZY
KEEP IT MOVIN RISIN TO THE TOP
DOUG FRESH CLEAN LIVIN YOU DONT STOP

REVOLUTION MEANS CHANGE
DONT LOOK AT ME STRANGE
SO I CANT REPEAT WHAT OTHER RAPPERS BE SAYIN
YOU DONT STAND FOR SOMETHING

HARDER THAN YOU THINK
ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING

GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT
GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT
GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT
GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT

verse 3

SO ITS TIME TO LEAVE YOU A PREVIEW
SO YOU TOO CAN REVIEW WHAT WE DO
20 YEARS IN THIS BUSINESS
HOW YOU SELL SELL SOUL, G WIZ
PEOPLE BEAR WITNESS
THANK YOU FOR LETTIN US BE OURSELF
SO DONT MIND ME IF I REPEAT MYSELF
THESE SIMPLE LINES BE GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH
TO KEEP THEM CRIME RHYMES ON THE SHELF
LIVE LIFE LOVE LIKE YOU JUST DONT CARE
5000 LEADERS NEVER SCARED
BRING THE NOISE ITS THE MOMENT THEY FEAR
GET UP STILL A BEAUTIFUL IDEA

GET UP
THROW YO HANDS IN THE AIR
GET UP SHOW NO FEAR
GET UP IF YALL REALLY CARE
PE 20 YEARS
NOW GET UP

GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT
GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT
GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT
GET UP
HARD...JUST LIKE THAT

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

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.
