American Gangster movie - Can't Truss It lyrics
rate meSong by Public Enemy<br /><br>
Bass in your face<br>
Not an eight track<br>
Gettin' it good to the wood<br>
So the people<br>
Give you some a dat<br>
Reactin' to the fax<br>
That I kick and it stick<br>
And it stay around<br>
Pointin' to the joint put the Buddha down<br>
Goin' goin' gettin' to the roots<br>
Ain't givin' it up<br>
So turn me loose<br>
But then again I got a story<br>
That's harder than the hardcore<br>
Cost of the holocaust<br>
I'm talin' 'bout the one still goin' on<br>
I know<br>
Where I'm from, not dum diddie dum<br>
From the base motherland<br>
The place of the drum<br>
Invaded by the wack diddie wack<br>
Fooled the black, left us faded<br>
King and chief probably had a big beef<br>
Because of dat now I grit my teeth<br>
So here's a song to the strong<br>
'Bout a shake of a snake<br>
And the smile went along wit dat<br>
Can't truss it<br>
Kickin' wicked rhymes<br>
Like a fortune teller<br>
'Cause the wickedness done by Jack<br>
Where everybody at<br>
Divided and sold<br>
For liquor and the gold<br>
Smacked in the back<br>
For the other man to mack<br>
Now the story that I'm kickin' is gory<br>
Little Rock where they be<br>
Dockin' this boat<br>
No hope I'm shackled<br>
Plus gang tackled<br>
By the other hand swingin' the rope<br>
Wearin' red, white and blue Jack and his crew<br>
The guy's authorized beat down for the brown<br>
Man to the man, each one so it teach one<br>
Born to terrorize sisters and every brother<br>
One love who said it<br>
I know Whodini sang it<br>
But the hater taught hate<br>
That's why we gang bang it<br>
Beware of the hand<br>
When it's comin' from the left<br>
I ain't trippin' just watch ya step<br>
Can't truss it<br>
An I judge everyone, one by the one<br>
Look here come the judge<br>
Watch it here he come now<br>
I can only guess what's happ'nin'<br>
Years ago he woulda been<br>
The ships captain<br>
Gettin' me bruised on a cruise<br>
What I got to lose, lost all contact<br>
Got me layin' on my back<br>
Rollin' in my own leftover<br>
When I roll over, I roll over in somebody else's<br>
90 F--kin' days on a slave ship<br>
Count 'em fallin' off 2, 3, 4 hun'ed at a time<br>
Blood in the wood and it's mine<br>
I'm chokin' on spit feelin' pain<br>
Like my brain bein' chained<br>
Still gotta give it what I got<br>
But it's hot in the day, cold in the night<br>
But I thrive to survive, I pray to god to stay alive<br>
Attitude boils up inside<br>
And that ain't it (think I'll every quit)<br>
Still I pray to get my hands 'round<br>
The neck of the man wit' the whip<br>
3 months pass, they brand a label on my ass<br>
To signify<br>
Owned<br>
I'm on the microphone<br>
Sayin' 1555<br>
How I'm livin'<br>
We been livin' here<br>
Livin' ain't the word<br>
I been givin'<br>
Haven't got<br>
Classify us in the have-nots<br>
Fightin' haves<br>
'Cause it's all about money<br>
When it comes to Armageddon<br>
Mean I'm getting mine<br>
Here I am turn it over Sam<br>
427 to the year<br>
Do you understand<br>
That's why it's hard<br>
For the black to love the land<br>
Once again<br>
Bass in your face<br>
Not an eight track<br>
Gettin' it good to the wood<br>
So the people<br>
Give you some a dat<br>
Reactin' to the fax<br>
That I kick and it stick<br>
And it stay around<br>
Pointin' to the joint, put the Buddha down<br>
Goin', goin', gettin' to the roots<br>
Ain't givin' it up<br>
So turn me loose<br>
But then again I got a story<br>
That's harder than the hardcore<br>
Cost of the holocaust<br>
I'm talin' 'bout the one still goin' on<br>
I know<br>
Where I'm from, not dum diddie dum<br>
From the base motherland<br>
The place of the drum<br>
Invaded by the wack diddie wack<br>
Fooled the black, left us faded<br>
King and chief probably had a big beef<br>
Because of dat now I grit my teeth<br>
So here's a song to the strong<br>
'Bout a shake of a snake<br>
And the smile went along wit dat<br>
Can't truss it <br>
