A dollar a rhyme but we barely get a dime
If you dont own the master
Then the master own you
Who do you trust from swindlers lust
From the back of the bus
Neither one of us control the fate of our soul
And swindlers lust
Hickory dickory dock hand in my pocket
Robbed me for my chocolate
Mo dollars mo cents for the big six
Another million led to bled claimin they innocence
Is it any wonder why black folks goin under
Cause niggas be sold in bundles
No pressure tell me why they dont care
Rap and r & b pavin the streets of belair
From the sales of singers no longer here
The bigger killer gets the bigger share
Now the ones I attack the negros got their back
And know 80-20 is a whack contract
Forever lack the voice of real black
Stole rock and roll and aint gave it back
Started off my defense
Now theyre the ones I defend against
Who fell up into the tricks
Fuck the fight the power shit
Get that chuck d nigga fixed
And keep him up outta the mix
Well hell tell em chuck dont suck no dick
Be an ass and the ass get kicked
Hand in my pocket robbed me for my chocolate
Watch em swindle yo ass and turn a profit
If you dont own the master
Then the master own you
Who do you trust from swindlers lust
From the back of the bus
Neither one of us control the fate of our soul
And swindlers lust
They dont care about me
They dont care about you
They dont care about you and ya crew
Ya family neighborhood and plus
They dont give a damn about us
Profit off the soul of black folk
Turn em into bitchez and niggas
And stupid ass jokes
Laugh wit us or laughin at us
That is what Im guessin
We interrupt this program wit that question
Laughin all the way to the bank
Remember dem own the banks
And dem g-damn tanks
Now what company do I thank
Aint this a bitch heard they owned slaves
And a ship that sank
If you dont own the master
Then the master own you
Who do you trust from swindlers lust
From the back of the bus
Neither one of us control the fate of our soul
And swindlers lust
This is for the blues people in the delta
This is for everybody in the 50s that didnt get their money
Little richard gettin half a penny a penny
All the super soul singers of the 60s
All the bands of the 70s on the outside lookin in
All the people that didnt make a dime off their session playin
And even the rappers in the 80s and the 90s
Still tryin to get paid for what they put in
If you dont own the master
Then the master own you
Who do you trust from swindlers lust
From the back of the bus
Neither one of us control the fate of our soul
And swindlers lust
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.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
