[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen
Public Enemy
Damn
This is super
Dynamite
[Chorus]
Soul, soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul, soul
Soul, soul, soul, soul (I know you got it, live it up)
Soul, soul, soul, soul (Come on, you got it, all that)
[Verse 1]
Once again, this is it
Turn it up, here we go
But this time, the rhyme's
Gonna ask who did the crime
Then let's get down to the nitty-gritty
I wanna know who picked Wilson's pocket
After he rocked it, fact, he shocked it
Same kinda thing they threw at James (Brown)
And what they did to Redd was a shame
The bigger the Blacks get, the bigger the feds want a piece of that
Booty
Intentional Rape System
Like we ain't paid enough in this bitch, that's why I dissed them
I learned we earned, got no concern
Instead, we burned, where the hell is our return?
Plain and simp', the system's a pimp
But I refuse to be a ho who stole the soul
[Verse 2]
Ain't no different than in South Africa
Over here they'll go after you to steal your soul
Like over there, they stole our gold
Yo, they say the Black don't know how to act (Who, me?)
'Cause we're waitin' for the big payback
But we know it'll never come
That's why I say, "Come and get some"
Why when the Black moves in, Jack moves out
Come to stay, Jack moves away
Ain't we all people?
How the hell can a color be no good to a neighborhood?
Help straighten me out
'Cause my tribe gets a funny vibe
Sayin' I'm wrong for singin' a song
Without solutions
All the dancers answer questions
Try to be the best and
Let everybody know before I blow
'Cause I wanna know what sucker stole the soul
[Chorus]
Soul, soul, soul, soul (I know you got it, come on, live it up)
Soul, soul, soul, soul (Yeah, come on)
[Bridge]
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
Who stole the soul?
Okay, I wanna register a complaint
Come on, y'all
Come on, y'all
Again, y'all
Again, y'all
Come on, y'all
Again, y'all
Aha
[Verse 3]
We choose to use their ways and holidays
Notice some of them are heller days
Invented by those that never repented
For the sins within that killed my kin
But that's all right
I try to do what a brother does
But I'll never know if you're my cuz
That's why I try my best to unite
Damn the rest if they don't like it
Banned from many arenas
Word from the motherland, has anybody seen her? (Have you seen her?)
Jack was nimble, Jack was quick (Sophina)
Got a question for Jack, ask him
Forty acres and a mule, Jack (Jack)
Where is it? Why'd you try to fool the Black? (Black)
It wasn't you, but you pledge allegiance
To the red, white, and blue
Suckers that stole the soul
[Chorus]
Soul, soul, soul, soul (Yeah, come on, I know you got it, live it up)
Soul, soul, soul, soul (Come on, come on, again)
Soul, soul, soul, soul (Yeah, live it up, keep it up, come on)
Soul, soul, soul (I know you got it, damn right, yo)
[Outro]
I said, "Hey, man, why don't you tell a brother how to get to Brooklyn, Jack?
You know we gotta stick together, man
What's the matter with you?
Where is your soul?"
I don't know
