Thin Line Between Law Rape Lyrics - Public Enemy

Ridenhour - rochester - walford 

Ya took me from a place 

Where the race didn't matter 

And gathered up bodies 

Without a choice 

So I rather 

Pass my opinion/back 

Run ya over 

With my rack an pinion 

Never stop the engine 

For watcha fathers did do the indian 

North & south 

Plus the carribbean 

I got a vendetta 

Cause I know better 

Better black than a stereotype white 

No cash flow wit out work 

Talkin bout the past 

You busted our past 

You busted our ass 

Now you afraid cause I never got paid 

Now sucka jump 

You cant take whatcha want 

Chorus 

You can't take whatcha want 

Cause ya took whatcha want 

Cant get away cause we got it on tape 

You cant take whatcha want 

Cause ya took whatcha want 

Thin line between law & rape (scream) 

You can't take whatcha want 

Dont cha know 

We ain't got nuttin left 

Cause you took the rest 

We ain't got jazz rock & roll 

Rappin the lose 

Wit a few fat ladies left singin da blues 

Go abracadabra to make 

A wish I can mess wit 

Wonder why I'm under 

Neath a crew I cant get wit 

I never knew land was an acquisition 

Bs from the best man in position 

Come again wit dat shit 

And set hit like a punk 

No, you cant take whatcha want 

Chorus 2x 

Break 

You cant take whatcha want 

I open up the trunk 

I see your phony ass 

Try to counterfeit funk 

From land to land 

To sea to sea 

Allover got the other man 

Messin wit me 

Took the motherland 

Made a slave of my mother and man 

Got a good man 

Sayin goddamn 

...................long pause 

And to hell with 

Back in the days 

Unless we go way back 

To the black ways 

Always 

Watch your back 

If ya crooked don't front 

You cant take whatcha want 

Chorus 2x 

We died on the line 

We walk the fine line he talked a good line
