Hell No, We Ain't Allright Lyrics - Beats And Places - Public Enemy

People are dying. 

They don't have homes. 

They don't have jobs. 

The city of New Orleans will never be the same 

Now let's get off your asses and let's do something 

and let's fix the biggest goddamn crisis in the history of this country 

Guess it gotta come down to this. 

In order to see things for what they are and what they is. 

We still may not be free up in this piece or treated very equally as 

far as I can see. now if you saw what I saw 

And see what I see on the TV that lead me to write this song 

after talking to my father. 

But the anger in this song seem to write it's damn self... 

Hell No We Ain't Alright 

(It's your boy Son of a Bush. Hahaha.) 

Now all these press conferences and breaking news alert [this just in] 

While your government looks for a war to win. 

Claim for the blame game, names where I begin 

Walls closin, need to get some help to my kin 

While the rest of this Bush nation stands 

the drama unfolds as we the people under the stand 

Fifty percent of this Son of a Bush nation 

is like hatin on hatin aspect of assassination 

Ask Pat Robinson, quiz him 

[Smells like terrorism] 

Racism in the news, still one sided views. 

Sayin whites find food 

Pray for the National Guard who be ready to shoot 

because they be sayin us blacks loot 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright!) 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright!) 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright!) 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no!) Damn damn. 

"Neva bada than" - "Bring the Noise" 

Now them violence is quick, tsunamis, I don't mean to scare 

Wasn't this written somewhere? 

Disgraces, all I been seein is hurtin black faces 

Moved out to harm in far away places 

[Emergency] statements, corpses, alligators, and snakes 

Big difference between this haze and [the little diamonds on the VMAs] 

Betta look what's really important, y'all under the sun 

Especially if you are over 21 

(This ain't no TV show) ain't no video (this is really real!) 

Y'all hearin' the same old keep it real 

Posin' for TV stars, havin' big rim cars 

[But these streets be bloody, b] no matter where you at no gas 

Driving a luxury (urgency) 

Don't y'all know? (It's in a state of emergency) 

Show somebody's government is far from reality 

Somebody's government is far from reality! 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright!) 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright! We got a problem.) 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright!) 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no!) 

And they don't have a clue what's going on down there 

And I'm like, you gotta be kidding me 

This is a natural disaster 

Anyway you look at it, it's a tragedy. 

It's awful down here, man 

God is lookin down on all this 

And if they aren't doing everything in their power to save people 

They are gonna pay the price 

Do you know where I'm coming from? 

Now I see we be the new faces of refugees 

We ain't even overseas, but stuck here on our knees 

Forget the plasma TV, ain't no electricity 

New world's upside down and out of order 

Shelter? Food? Wassup, [where's the water?] 

No answers from disaster, them masses hurtin' 

So who the f- we call - Halliburton? 

Son of a Bush, how you wanna just trust that cat 

to fix shit, when all the help is stuck in Iraq? 

Makin war plans, takin more stands than Afghanistan 

2, 000 soldiers there dyin in the sand. 

But that's over there, right? [What's over here?] 

Is a noise so loud 

That some can't hear 

But on TV I can see 

Bunches of people 

Looking just like me 

And they ain't all right 

(Wait wait wait wait yo yo what?) 

New Orleans in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright!) 

Mississippi in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright!) 

Alabama in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright!) 

USA in the mornin, afternoon, and night 

(Hell no! Hell no. We Ain't Alright.) 

We definitly ain't alright. 

And some of y'all voted for that cat! Son of a Bush. 

That's right, what God giveth sometimes your country taketh away 

I'mma see y'all at the million man march 

Tenth year aniversary of the million man march. 

That's right the minutes are gonna drop, and that's right, fahrenheit 

Yeah. And many of our people and our organizations are getting 

together now in Washington DC 

October 16th y'all... 2005 

We had all these issues to talk about, we got more issues to talk 

about now y'all 

Betta yet, ideas to listen to and spread 

Yeah... Comin from Public Enemy. Number one y'all... Public Enemy 2005 

Public Enemy 2006. Yeah. Public Enemy 2007 

(Let me tell y'all somethin 

All of our hearts is out there with y'all, you know what I'm sayin? 

And we sendin trucks, we sendin boats, boxes of cans of soup... and everything 

Clothes and all of that. shoes 

We donating everything to y'all, you know what I'm saying? 

Don't worry, y'all ain't by yourself, you need to know that)
