Public Enemy - Caught, Can We Get a Witness Lyrics

Caught, now in court 'cause I stole a beatThis is a sampling sportBut I'm giving it a new nameWhat you hear is mineP.E. you know the timeNow, what in the heaven does a jury know about hellIf I took it, but but they just look at meLike, Hey I'm on a missionI'm talkin' 'bout conditionsAin't right sittin' like dynamiteGonna blow you up and it just mightBlow up the bench andJudge, the courtroom plus I gotta mentionThis court is dismissed when I grab the mikeYo Flave... What is this?Get hyped, c'mon we gottaGather around - gotchaMail from the courts and jailClaims I stole the beats that I railLook at how I'm livin' likeAnd they're gonna check the mike, right? - SikeLook at how I'm livin' now, lower than lowWhat a sucker knowI found this mineral that I call a beatI paid zeroI packed my load 'cause it's better than goldPeople don't ask the price, but its soldThey say that I sample, but they shouldSample this my bit bullWe ain't goin' for thisThey say that I stole thisCan I get a witness?Understand where we're goinThen listen to this, plus my RolandComin' from way down belowRebound c'mon boost up the stereoSnakes in the morningWake up, scared afraid of my warningThey claim that I'm violentNow I choose to be silentCan I get a witness?C'mon get wit' itSomething ain't right, I got to admit itMade me mad when I was on tourThat I declared war on black radioThey say that I planned thisOn the radio most of you will demand thisWon't be on a playlistBust the way that I say this: No Sell OutYou singers are spinelessAs you sing your senseless songs to the mindlessYour general subject love is minimalIts sex for profitScream that I sampleFor example, Tom you ran to the federalCourt in U.S. it don't mean youYeah, 'cause they fronted on youThe posses ready, Terminator X yes he's readyThe S1Ws, Griff are you ready?They say that I stole thisI rebel with a raised fist, can we get a witness?
