    bass in your face not an eight track
    gettin’ it good to the wood
    so the people give you some of that reactin’ to the facts
    that i kick and it stick and it stay around
    pointin’ to the joint put the buddha down
    goin goin deep to the roots
    ain’t givin’ it up so turn me loose
    but then again i got a story that’s harder than the hardcore
    cost of the holocaust i’m talkin’ ’bout the one still goin’ on
    i know where i’m from not dum diddie dum
    from the base motherland the place of the drum
    invaded by the wack diddie wack
    and fooled the black and left us faded
    king and chief probably had a big beef
    because of that now i grit my teeth
    so here’s a song to the strong
    ’bout the shake of the snake and the smile went along
    with that can’t truss it

    break flavor flav
    you can’t truss it
    let them know
    you can’t truss it
    yo let them know
    you can’t truss it
    let them know

    chuck d
    kickin’ wicked rhymes like a fortune teller
    cause the wickedness done by jack
    where everybody at divided and sold
    for liquor and the gold
    smacked in the back for the other man to mack

    break flavor flav
    what
    wicked man wicked man
    get back step back kick it man

    chuck d
    now the story that i’m kickin’ is gory
    little rock where they be dockin’ this boat
    no hope i’m shackled oh plus gang tackled
    by the other hand swingin’ the rope god damn
    wearin’ red white and blue jack and his crew
    the guy’s authorized beat down for the brown
    man to the man each one so i teach one
    born to terrorize sisters and every brother
    one love who said it i know whodini sang it
    but the hater taught hate that’s why we gang bang it
    beware of the hand when it’s comin’ from the left
    i ain’t trippin just watch your step
    can’t truss it

    break flavor flav
    can’t truss it
    yo let them know
    can’t truss it
    yo let them know
    can’t truss it
    yo let them know
    can’t truss it can’t truss it
    can’t truss it can’t truss it
    can’t truss it can’t truss it

    chuck d
    and i’ll judge everyone one by the one
    look here comes the judge watch it here he come now
    don’t sentence me judge i ain’t did nothin’ to nobody
    i can only guess what’s happenin’
    years ago he woulda been the ship’s captain
    gettin’ me bruised on a cruise what i got to lose
    lost all contact got me layin’ on my back
    ugh rollin’ in my own leftover
    when i roll over i roll over in somebody else
    90 damn days on a slave ship
    count them fallin’ off 4 hundred at a time
    blood in the wood and it’s mine
    i’m chokin’ on spit feelin’ pain
    like my brain bein’ chained
    still gotta give it what i got
    but it’s hot in the day it’s cold in the night
    but i thrive to survive i pray to god to stay alive
    attitude boils up inside
    and that ain’t it you think i ever quit
    still i plan to get my hands around the neck of the man with the whip
    months passed they brand a label on my ass
    to signify i’m owned i’m on the microphone
    sayin’ 555 how i’m livin’
    we been livin’ here livin’ ain’t the word i been givin’
    haven’t got classify us in the havenots
    fightin’ haves cause it’s all about money damn
    when it comes to armageddon mean i’m getting mine
    here i am turn it over sam
    47 to the year do you understand
    that’s why it’s hard for the black to love the land

    chuck d
    once again bass in your face not an eight track
    gettin’ it good to the wood
    so the people give you some of that reactin’ to the facts
    that i kick and it stick and it stay around
    pointin’ to the joint put the buddha down
    goin goin gettin’ to the roots
    ain’t givin’ it up so turn me loose
    but then again i got a story that’s harder than the hardcore
    cost of the holocaust i’m talkin’ ’bout the one still goin’ on
    i know where i’m from not dum diddie dum
    from the base motherland the place of the drum
    invaded by the wack diddie wack
    and fooled the black and left us faded
    king and chief probably had a big beef
    because of that now i grit my teeth
    so here’s a song to the strong
    bout the shake of the snake and the smile went along
    with that can’t truss it

    flavor flav
    can’t truss it can’t truss it
    you can’t truss it you can’t truss it
    you can’t truss it you can’t truss it
    you can’t truss it you can’t truss it
    you can’t truss it you can’t truss it
