Public Enemy - Hit Da Road Jack lyrics

Ridenhour - K. Shocklee - Gary G-Wiz

I remember when us blacks

Were on our backs

Across tracks

Where we live

Now we packin' in Cadillacs

Or Pontiac if you know

What I'm sayin'

Po' old nigg thinks it's a Caddy

And now he's playin' mack daddy

But that's all right I blame it

All on Jack

Who's Jack you ask me

You say, I say it every time

But the rhyme goes

Into your head down to your toes

And you missed me

Play it off like a diss, yo

Let's go & diss the

Wick wick wack

Wiggedy whack in fact

I'm sayin' hit the road Hack

For the hook

I'll play it by the book

For the track

I'll bring it back

Look out: Hit the road Jack

Black is black

White is white

That's all right

If you're right

That's all right

No need to fight, yo

Much respect if your nature's in check

A little

If not expect me to cock a doodle do

A riddle

Just actin' cracka proves to be a

Killer to me like I refuse to be a negro

But we grow to be people

People

But our color had 'em playin' us out

Like we was Cinderella

But if you take it & break it down

Full of noise but Jack & his boys

Keep doin' what they wanna do

But hear me out

Jack goes under color

To kill one another

'Cause some blacks act devil too

And if you see him

You can tell by his act

Not his word but his deed

And we bleed all because of that

Lifestyle of a dirty rat

And if you act like that

Step back & hit the road Jack

Not Jack the Ripper

Or the jack of spades

I'm not jackin' for beats

Let's get Jack the raper

Mothers cried while forefathers died

From the whip

And not a bit ever made the paper

When I come they all

Run & hide

And they quit

And yell loud

Here he come wit' dat black s--t

I'm thru wit Jack

Bein' the quarterback of the scene

He's played out like bell-bottom jeans

I took a line from the Main Source

For that

I know they feel the same

Thank you

Hit da road Jack
