Public Enemy - Game Face lyrics

[Intro: Flava Flav]

Hey yo, Chuck, yo the world if sleepin', G

We got to wake everybody up yo

Hey yo, it's goin' down, baby

Let everybody know how it's goin' down, baby

[Verse 1: Chuck D]

The way this goes down is simple, from this day forth

Anything to deal with rap, STAY OFF

It's just the players, no pay offs, strictly skills (uh)

If you're brain's the same you'll stick to your deals

And this field ain't about sellin' a mil'

With the run of the mill, so just be tellin' the real

It ain't like a third time fella's appeal

'Til the GOD scolds him and tells him to deal

I'll allow you to write, maybe allow you to bite

If you're down to fight the power here's the power to fight

Overpower the mic, hit the crowd with the bomb diggy

Ring the alarm, now the squads with me

From way back I show now weakness when I speak this

Mentally strong to keep this hit in my speeches given

Now listen from the beginnin' 'til I reach the endin'

My short stories winnin' and keep the beats spinnin'

[Chorus: Public Enemy]

You know the name, P.E.!

You know the game, P.E.! {*scratches*}

We ain't for the game

We for the change

I wake up everyday with my game face on

You know the name, P.E.!

You know the name, P.E.! {*scratches*}

Yeah we ain't for the fame

We for the change

I wake up everyday with my game face on

[Verse 2: Chuck D]

Break harder than ever, follow my lead

Through the fast lane in the game, they follow my speed

Either ease off the gas or floor it

You ain't ready to get it, I dunno why they keep askin' for it

This the real P.E., ain't no castin' for it

Cop lights, news camera, no action for it

Get the uncut raw, we somewhat sure

Hip hop's like a chess game, discussin' the war

Strategize, move like masterminds

When it's your go and your do', just cash mine

Last time we welcomed y'all to the Terrordome

Used the mic to reach out and touch, instead of the phone

I appear from the rear, stayin' from clear

Nobody can say if I'm here so they play it by ear

But here's the way I lay the idea

From this point on, the rest of '98, put it in high gear

[Chorus: Public Enemy]

You know the name, P.E.!

You know the game, P.E.! {*scratches*}

We ain't for the fame

We for a change

I wake up everyday with my game face on

You know the name, P.E.!

You know the game, P.E.! {*scratches*}

We ain't for the fame

We for a change

I wake up everyday with my game face on

[Verse 3: Professor Griff]

I saw it comin', premeditated world domination hesitated

Rough this nuclear war head, detonate it

I'm forbidden, so I stay hittin' up forgiven

For givin' the livin' the truth, 360 proof

So world look before this world's took

I curl books under my arm

Smoke charm and learn about this world's [???]

Revelation the world cooks

I spit gold versus the pearl hooks

The first album made the world crooks

Got 'em snatchin', robbin', thievin', stealin' ideas

Believe in pleadin' reason for treason, conceal it for years

My criminal [???] attract an accomplice to grub something

Results DRASTIC MEASURES

And the death of joy, the death of casket treasure

From the abyss, the greatest trick I played on the world

Was leadin' them to believe my mother's clit didn't exist

Then I extended the list

Revolutioned every flag raised by a clenchin' fist

[Outro: Flava Flav]

Yeah that's right, once again

Smooth the Hustler, and he ain't no crowd buster

Straight up Iceberg Slim

Yo, baby, you need to get with him

Flava Flav, Chuck D, Public Enemy, Smooth the Hustle

We out the backdoor, bab
