Caught Can I Get A Witness - Lyrics by Public Enemy


Lyrics

Ridenhour - shocklee - sadler

Caught, now in court 'cause i stole a beat
This is a sampling sport
But i'm giving it a new name
What you hear is mine
P.e. you know the time
Now, what in the heaven does a jury know about hell
If i took it, but but they just look at me
Like, hey i'm on a mission
I'm talkin' 'bout conditions
Ain't right sittin' like dynamite
Gonna blow you up and it just might
Blow up the bench and
Judge, the courtroom plus i gotta mention
This court is dismissed when i grab the mike
Yo flave...what is this?

Get hyped, c'mon we gotta
Gather around - gotcha
Mail from the courts and jail
Claims i stole the beats that i rail
Look at how i'm livin' like
And they're gonna check the mike, right? - sike
Look at how i'm livin' now, lower than low
What a sucker know
I found this mineral that i call a beat
I paid zero
I packed my load 'cause it's better than gold
People don't ask the price, but its sold
They say that i sample, but they should
Sample this my bit bull
We ain't goin' for this
They say that i stole this
Can i get a witness?

Understand where we're goin
Then listen to this, plus my roland
Comin' from way down below
Rebound c'mon boost up the stereo
Snakes in the morning
Wake up, scared afraid of my warning
They claim that i'm violent
Now i choose to be silent
Can i get a witness?

C'mon get wit' it
Something ain't right, i got to admit it
Made me mad when i was on tour
That i declared war on black radio
They say that i planned this
On the radio most of you will demand this
Won't be on a playlist
Bust the way that i say this: no sell out

You singers are spineless
As you sing your senseless songs to the mindless
Your general subject love is minimal
Its sex for profit
Scream that i sample
For example, tom you ran to the federal
Court in u.s. it don't mean you
Yeah, 'cause they fronted on you
The posses ready, terminator x yes he's ready
The s1ws, griff are you ready?

They say that i stole this
I rebel with a raised fist, can we get a witness?
