An' now you're servin' football teams their water An' let them know what goes on, what goes on Written while sittin', all fittin', not bitten Run in their room and hang it on the wall I'm a non-stop, rhythm, rock poetry sayer Bets on that? You'll be disgracin' Because they got me, Public Enemy number one It's like havin' a boat but you got no paddle Kickin' like Bruce Lee's Chinese connection One, one, one Because I'm Public Enemy number one A battle, what? Here's a Bible, start your prayer You can't rock the kid, so go cut the cheese If they ask you what happened, just admit you lied Publisher: DEF AMERICAN SONGS You have no desires, your father fixes tires It's you they never hire, you're never on flyers One, one, one I'm the rhyme player, the ozone layer I don't break in stores but I break all laws My rap's red hot, 110 degrees Make the fly girls wanna have my photo You gotta let 'em know that this is the 80's That's just the way the story goes Yo, Chuck, bust a move, man An' in the backyard we got a fly Mercedes They get a little jealous, ya know what I'm sayin'? One, one, one Ya know what I'm sayin'? So Chuck, I got a feelin' On stereo, never ever mind, yo I'm Public Enemy number one Oh yes, I presume it's the tunes that make us groom I was on my way up here to the studio You gotta tell them just like that, ya know what I'm sayin'? 'Cause I can go solo, like a Tyson bolo Suckers, ducks, ho hum MCs This word to the wise is justified Watch out, we got never the match Yeah, that's right, Chuck, man, that's what you gotta do These brothers runnin' around, hard headed Your crossed up wires are always startin' fires Ya know what I'm sayin'? An' this brother stop me an' ask me 1, 2, 3, down for the count But yo, Chuck, you gotta let 'em know One, one, one You try to sell ya equipment but you get no buyers One, one, one 'Cause yo, man, let me tell you a little somethin', man You messed with the master, word to Chuck You got no rap but you want to battle So we have us, so you're okay? An' I'll wax cold tax, made sure you got dunked For all you suckers, liars and cheap amplifiers "Yo, wassup with that brother Chuckie D? He swear he nice" You just got dissed, all but dismissed On the way out to L.A. [Incomprehensible] Givin' me the juice that your not gettin' Well yo, right now, kick the bass for them brothers I'll show you my gun, my Uzi weighs a ton Who's who in the world of beat An' we can get all the ladies One, one, one Don't you know, don't you know? Well, I'm all in, put it up on the board Take this application of rhymes like these One, one, one You an' your mind from a beatin' from my rhymes They said, "Stop, freeze", I got froze up A time for a crime that I can't find All wax, yes, I'm talkin' about vinyl Is what I choose an' I use, I never lose to a team 'Cause I never pause, I say it because The result of my lyrics, oh yes, no doubt One, one, one Cold rock rap, 49er supreme 'Cause you an' your crew is only known as good triers Because I'm Public Enemy number one Now remember that line you was kickin' to me To make all the ladies swoon It's no fun bein' on the run Songwriters: James Boxley, Carlton Ridenhour You turn him into a Public Enemy, man In remembrance that I rocked them all While we was in the car, on our way to the Shot I said, "Yo, the brother don't swear he's nice, he knows he's nice" I'm not a law obeyer so you can tell your mayor Wanna hear it again? We got a force Another rapper shot down from the mouth that roared One, one, one, one You grown up criers, now here's a pair of pliers Ambush attack, on my back, double teamin', get creamed Sucker duck MCs, you get me pissed Get a job like your mother, I heard she fixes old dryers An' that's the way the story goes Known as the poetic, political, lyrical son Just like that, ya know, they try to bring you down with 'em You just got caught a for goin' out of order But it's also the words from our direction, a gold boy session Enemy down, the L.I. circuit sound So don't start bassin', I'll start placin' I got a posse of a force to back me up One, one, one Ain't it Chuckie D, myself an' K.G., Flavor, DJ Melody
