[00:01.58] A-yo ice, man. Im working on this term paper for college. whats the
[00:04.32] First amendment
[00:04.88] Freedom of speech, thats some motherfuckin bullshit
[00:07.13] You say the wrong thing, theyll lock your ass up quick
[00:09.63] The fcc says profanity - no airplay
[00:11.06] They can suck my dick while I take a shit all day
[00:13.56] Think I give a fuck about some silly bitch named gore
[00:15.93] Yo pmrc, here we go, raw
[00:17.49] Yo tip, whats the matter you aint gettin no dick
[00:19.80] Youre bitchin about rocknroll, thats censorship, dumb bitch
[00:21.67] The constitution says we all got a right to speak
[00:23.92] Say what we want tip, your argument is weak
[00:25.98] Censor records, tv, school books too
[00:27.60] And who decides whats right to hear you
[00:29.60] Hey pmrc, you stupid fuckin assholes
[00:31.97] The sticker on the record is what makes em sell gold
[00:34.46] Cant you see, you alcoholic idiots
[00:35.90] The more you try to suppress us, the larger we get
[00:45.63]
[00:59.00] Fuck that right! I want the right to talk
[01:01.18] I want the right to speak, I want the right to walk
[01:03.74] Where I wanna, yell and Im gonna
[01:05.30] Tell and rebel every time Im on a
[01:06.98] Microphone on the stage cold illin
[01:08.29] The knowledge I drop will be heard by millions
[01:10.35] We aint the problems, we aint the villains
[01:12.97] Its the suckers deprivin the truth from our children
[01:15.28] You cant hide the fact, jack
[01:16.78] Theres violence in the streets every day, any fool can recognise that
[01:19.53] But you try to lie and lie
[01:21.08] And say americas some motherfuckin apple pie
[01:22.77] Yo, you gotta be high to believe that
[01:25.39] Youre gonna change the world by a sticker on a record sleeve
[01:28.07] Cos once you take away my right to speak
[01:30.07] Everybody in the worlds up shit creek
[01:52.78] Let me tell you about down south
[01:54.22] Where a motherfucker might as well not even have a mouth
[01:56.61] Columbus, georgia, said theyd lock me up
[01:58.35] If I got on the stage in my show and said fuck
[02:00.92] So I thought for a minute and said no,
[02:02.91] I wasnt even gonna do a damned show
[02:04.66] Cos for me to change my words from my rhymes
[02:06.90] Is never gonna happen cos theres no sell outs on mine
[02:09.34] But I vowed to get those motherfuckers one day
[02:11.34] They even arrested bobby brown and cool j
[02:13.08] Yo, they got theirs comin, cos Im mad and Im gunnin
[02:15.51] Homeboys, and theres no runnin
[02:16.64] Im gonna tell you how I feel about you
[02:19.07] No bull, no lies, no slack, just straight fact
[02:21.07] Columbus, georgia, you can suck my dick
[02:23.08] You aint nothin but a piece of fuckin shit on the damned map
[02:25.89] Freedom of speech, let em take it from me
[02:42.99]
[02:48.56] Next theyll take it from you, then what you gonna do?
[02:50.87] Let em censor books, let em censor art
[02:52.62] Pmrc, this is where the witch hunt starts
[02:54.37] Youll censor what we see, we read, we hear, we learn
[02:56.74] The books will burn
[02:58.48] You better think it out
[02:59.61] We should be able to say anything, our lungs were meant to shout
[03:02.60] Say what we feel, yell out whats real
[03:04.72] Even though it may not bring mass appeal
[03:06.84] Your opinion is yours, my opinion is mine
[03:08.78] If you dont like what Im sayin? fine
[03:10.71] But dont close it, always keep an open mind
[03:12.90] A man who fails to listen is blind
[03:14.77] We only got one right left in the world today
[03:17.14] Let me have it or throw the constitution away
[03:40.79] What theyre trying to do with radio, with this, uh, mccarron-walter
[03:44.47] Act and a lot of other ways, is start by saying that theyre
[03:48.86] Protecting the public from wicked rock bands, or girlie magazines, or
[03:54.04] Whatever. but, if you follow the chain of dominoes that falls down,
[03:57.78] What theyre really trying to do is shut off our access to information
[04:02.77] Itself.
[04:05.27] If they cant do it by law they know theres other ways to do it.
