Public Enemy - Catch The Thrown lyrics

rate me

Chorus:

What you read is what you saw

And what you keep is what you saw

And what the people want to know

Is who's gonna cast the thrown

What you got is what they want

And what they see they say they need

And people bleeding from the...

Now who's gonna cast the thrown?

Thrown at, thrown under

Throw to the side, thrown up the.. we're throwing down

Thrown under the bus drag and underground

Power to the people salute the underground

Against those standards and mansions

Spitting down at us from up the higher ground

See the people, strike the power, face the poor...

In God we trust all money, this is slap in the face

To the rest of all human race!

Host hold your..

Change your name, but you can't change race n the United States

People say they're kings, but say they're queens

If we all gonna eat, what does it all mean?

We watch and listen, but I leave it alone

But who's gonna catch the thrown?

Chorus:

What you read is what you saw

And what you keep is what you saw

And what the people want to know

Is who's gonna cast the thrown

What you got is what they want

And what they see they say they need

And people bleeding from the...

Now who's gonna cast the thrown?

Divide and conquer, the oldest trick in the game

Is the war between the people who are really the same

As the rich people get richer, the poor get bitchie

The people keep kissing, the feds don't listen

This recession seen a black depression

Since your wasting in a nation heading for desperation

No quarter back is sat on a couch

Inside the black America is ouch!

Government still love you and President the executions

End up looking like some final solutions

Murder is the institution backed up and hacked up

Buy some hand written constitution.

Do what you do! Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Hebrew

You're all what you do, I'll be seeing human beings...

Yet never have so many but screwed up some few!

We watch the kings and queens and what they owe

But who's gonna catch the thrown?

(There's a man going round, take your...)

..designed to incriminate...

Equality is a myth!

They had me in jail for a crime I didn't even commit!

The stereo type

They feel every color is a failure right?

Brothers who resist I consider a threat

From Sitting Bull to Malcolm X

In the land of free I suspect elections

John Kennedy had the mob connections

President Reagan sold guns to Iraq

Yet they're trying to say the criminals are all black!

What's up with these corrupt politicians?

Them drugs they be shipping, but they never go to prison

And a fucked up system that they never tried to back me

Fuck gentlemen, guilty, clearly!

Chorus:

Cast the thrown, you gotta test the fire

Is that the one per cent that you need, or...

Cast the thrown, I gotta test the fire

Is that the one per cent that you want?

You gotta occupy!

(There's a man going round, take your...)

Free the... prisoners, they ain't listening

..but who is that whistling?

Foes making the killing and juxtapose against those giving a living

Give me something, cause... be official

Is the need to.. replace by the greed

I ain't trying to yell at you or sell you

.. they already...

And I'll be.. to you, did I mention?

The cheapest price is to pay attention

Now the chess is just being at your best

Without you can hold your own

Fuck! Who's gonna catch the thrown?

Chorus:

What you read is what you saw

And what you keep is what you saw

And what the people want to know

Is who's gonna cast the thrown?
