Rebel Without A Pause Lyrics - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back - Public Enemy

Yes, the rhythm, the rebel 

Without a pause, I'm lowering my level 

The hard rhymer, where you never been I'm in 

You want stylin', you know it's time again 

D the enemy, tellin' you to hear it 

They praised the music, this time they play the lyrics 

Some say no to the album, the show 

Bum rush the sound I made a year ago 

I guess you know, you guess I'm just a radical 

Not a sabbatical, yes to make it critical 

The only part your body should be parting to 

Panther power on the hour from the rebel to you 

Radio, suckers never play me 

On the mix, just O.K. me 

Now known and grown when they're clocking my zone it's known 

Snakin' and takin' everything that a brother owns 

Hard, my calling card 

Recorded and orderd, supporter of Chesimard 

Loud and proud kickin' live next poet supreme 

Loop a troop, bazooka, the scheme 

Flavor, a rebel in his own mind 

Supporter of my rhyme 

Designed to scatter a line of suckers who claim I do crime 

Terminator X 

From a rebel it's final on black vinyl 

Soul, rock and roll comin' like a rhino 

Tables turn, suckers burn to learn 

They can't dis-able the power of my label 

Def Jam, tells you who I am 

The enemy's public, they really give a damn 

Strong Island, where I got 'em wild and 

That's the reason they're claimin' that I'm violent 

Never silent, no dope gettin' dumb nope 

Claimin' where we get our rhythm from 

Number one, we hit ya and we give ya some 

No gun, and still never on the run 

You want to be an S.1, Griff will tell you when 

And then you'll come, you'll know what time it is 

Impeach the president, pullin' out the ray-gun 

Zap the next one, I could be you're Sho-gun 

Suckers, don't last a minute 

Soft and smooth, I ain't with it 

Hardcore, rawbone like a razor 

I'm like a lazer, I just won't graze ya 

Old enough to raise ya, so this will faze ya 

Get it right boy and maybe I will praise ya 

Playin' the role I got soul too 

Voice my opinion with volume 

Smooth, no what I am 

Rough, 'cause I'm the man 

No matter what the name, we're all the same 

Pieces in one big chess game 

Yeah, the voice of power 

Is in the house, go take a shower boy 

P.E. a group, a crew, not singular 

We were black Wranglers 

We're rap stranglers 

You can't angle us, I know you're listenin' 

I caught you pissin' in you're pants 

You're scared of us dissin' us 

The crowd is missin' us 

We're on a mission boy 

Terminator X 

Attitude, when I'm on fire 

Juice on the loose, electric wire 

Simple and plain, give me the lane 

I'll throw it down your throat like Barkley 

See the car keys, you'll never get these 

They belong to the 98 posse 

You want some more son, you want to get some 

Rush the door on a store, pick up the album 

You know the rhythm, the rhyme plus the beat is designed 

So I can enter your mind, Boys 

Bring the noise, my time 

Step aside for the flex, Terminator X
