New Whirl Odor

[Intro]

"...Public Enemy"

"We will make it funky!"

"Public Enemy"

[Hook]

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

[Verse 1]

Check that soul in 'cause the tape is rollin

The Black don't crack, where that party at?

Stax, jump back, come on, wax them tracks

Johnny Juice, cut it live like them old 45's

Strong songs survive on them biggest records

Ninety-five beats per second, P.E. record

Now the color of death looks like the future is history

Now why you dissin' me? Cause it ain't no mystery

On the outside peekin' in, end of your freeride

No way we can win, 'cause this the beginning of the end

Of your liberal friends who sometimes pretend

Everything's changed, while nothing's changed much

Uh, don't y'all know, this is Chuck D

Stays to the left of this and to the right of that

Just Black, don't y'all know where my mind be at

Shit, I wanna know where's the rest of my cats

High trees be catchin' a lot of wind, my friend

I smell a New Whirl Odor

[Interlude]

"Here we go again"

"Public Enemy, New Whirl Odor"

[Hook]

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

[Verse 2]

I flock to refugees who flock to me

The Roots, The Coup, and kick aside the genocide and the juice

Comedians, actors, nuclear reactors, players and ballplayers

Singers, dancers, and rhymesayers

Why do us like you do, ska-doo, fuck the residue

Frustrated five on two's, no breaks for mad crews

Now who the fuck is you? Cause we sick-a you

Now who the fuck is you? Cause we sick-a you

Community hoe-ses who be posin' as Moses in street clothes

Who be the closest in blows-es

Now every rhyme be for the future of mankind

Crazy heads be cuttin' off they dreads

Ruinin' health with little knowledge of self

Income taxes breakin' off the backs off-a Blacks

Who done four hundred years in this abyss?

So I'm pissed the fuck at this New Whirl Odor

[Hook]

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

I smell a New Whirl Odor, I smell a New Whirl Odor

[Verse 3]

Some things in the air when the smoke clears

Will it only be White folks and nothin' but Black jokes?

How many be gone if they bomb barbershops and hair salons?

It's time to dot com, time to dot com

Before they rub out clubs where you get your drink on

Mother, father, sister, bro, love is the message

But war be the frontpage in this mess-age

Ghetto celebs spread by the hundreds, macked by the same tactics

With us in a tundra goin' under

Avoidin' cries from sodomized society

It's scary getting screwed without a dictionary

It's scary getting screwed without a dictionary

It's scary getting screwed without a dictionary

[Outro]

The world is a ball of confusion

The world is a ball of confusion

The world is a ball of confusion

The world is a ball of confusion
