| [00:00.52] |
Don't, don't, don't, don't |
| [00:04.47] |
Don't, don't, don't |
| [00:07.81] |
Now here's what I want you all to do for me |
| [00:09.68] |
Back caught you lookin' for the same thing |
| [00:12.25] |
It's a new thing-check out this I bring |
| [00:14.71] |
Uhh, oh, the roll below the level, 'cause I'm livin' low |
| [00:17.22] |
Next to the bass, c'mon, turn up the radio |
| [00:19.54] |
They claimin' I'm a criminal |
| [00:21.39] |
By now I wonder how, some people never know |
| [00:24.45] |
The enemy could be their friend, guardian |
| [00:26.85] |
I'm not a hooligan, I rock the party and clear all the madness |
| [00:30.65] |
I'm not a racist, preach to teach to all |
| [00:33.00] |
'Cause some they never had this |
| [00:34.21] |
Number one, not born to run about the gun |
| [00:37.12] |
I wasn't licensed to have one |
| [00:39.12] |
The minute they see me, fear me |
| [00:41.53] |
I'm the epitome, of Public Enemy |
| [00:43.88] |
Used, abused, without clues |
| [00:45.55] |
I refused to blow a fuse |
| [00:46.85] |
They even had it on the news |
| [00:48.84] |
Don't believe the hype |
| [00:50.24] |
Don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype |
| [00:52.49] |
Don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype |
| [00:57.98] |
Yes was the start of my last jam, so here it is again |
| [01:02.45] |
Another def jam, but since I gave you all a little something |
| [01:05.70] |
That I knew you lacked, they still consider me a new jack |
| [01:08.18] |
All the critics you can hang 'em, I'll hold the rope |
| [01:10.83] |
But they hope to the Pope, and pray it ain't dope |
| [01:13.16] |
The follower of Farrakhan, don't tell me that you understand |
| [01:16.80] |
Until you hear the man, the book of the new school rap game |
| [01:19.93] |
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane |
| [01:22.94] |
Yes to them but to me I'm a different kind |
| [01:25.23] |
We're brothers of the same mind, unblind |
| [01:27.76] |
Caught in the middle and not surrenderin' |
| [01:30.12] |
I don't rhyme for the sake of of riddlin', some claim that I'm a smuggler |
| [01:33.96] |
Some say I never heard of ya, a rap burglar, false media |
| [01:38.52] |
We don't need it do we? It's fake that's what it be to ya, dig me? |
| [01:42.02] |
Yo, Terminator X, step up on the stand |
| [01:45.05] |
And show these people what time it is boy |
| [01:47.09] |
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype |
| [01:49.94] |
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype |
| [01:56.55] |
Don't believe the hype, don't believe the hype |
| [02:01.54] |
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype |
| [02:06.48] |
Don't believe the hype, it's a sequel |
| [02:09.03] |
As an equal, can I get this through to you |
| [02:11.80] |
My ninety-eight's boomin' with a trunk of funk |
| [02:14.21] |
All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk |
| [02:16.63] |
Comin' from the school of hard knocks |
| [02:19.08] |
Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox |
| [02:21.43] |
Attack the Black, because I know they lack exact |
| [02:23.66] |
The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox |
| [02:26.29] |
The leader of the new school, uncool |
| [02:29.01] |
Never played the fool, just made the rules |
| [02:31.28] |
Remember there's a need to get alarmed |
| [02:33.68] |
Again I said I was a time bomb |
| [02:35.84] |
In the daytime radio's scared of me |
| [02:38.60] |
'Cause I'm mad, 'cause I'm the enemy |
| [02:40.90] |
They can't come on and play me in prime time |
| [02:43.37] |
'Cause I know the time, plus I'm gettin' mine |
| [02:45.89] |
I get on the mix late in the night |
| [02:48.45] |
They know I'm livin' right, so here go the mike, psych |
| [02:52.10] |
Before I let it go, don't rush my show |
| [02:53.24] |
You try to reach and grab and get elbowed |
| [02:55.62] |
Word to Herb, yo if you can't swing this |
| [02:58.10] |
Learn the words, you might sing this |
| [03:00.48] |
Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you |
| [03:02.90] |
As you get up and dance at the LQ |
| [03:05.39] |
When some deny it, defy it, I swing bolos |
| [03:07.61] |
And then they clear the lane, I go solo |
| [03:10.10] |
The meaning of all of that, some media is the wack |
| [03:12.39] |
As you believe it's true |
| [03:14.45] |
It blows me through the roof |
| [03:15.24] |
Suckers, liars, get me a shovel |
| [03:17.41] |
Some writers I know are damn devils |
| [03:19.84] |
For them I say, don't believe the hype |
| [03:21.93] |
Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right? |
| [03:24.23] |
Their pens and pads I'll snatch, 'cause I've had it |
| [03:27.14] |
I'm not a addict, fiendin' for static |
| [03:29.45] |
I'll see their tape recorder and I grab it |
| [03:31.94] |
No, you can't have it back, silly rabbit |
| [03:34.46] |
I'm going' to my media assassin', Harry Allen, I gotta ask him |
| [03:39.49] |
Yo Harry, you're a writer, are we that type? |
| [03:41.65] |
Don't believe the hype |
| [03:43.53] |
Now here's what I want you all to do for me |
| [03:53.87] |
Don't believe |
| [03:55.29] |
Don't, don't, don't believe the hype |
| [03:57.89] |
Don't believe |
| [04:00.50] |
Don't, don't, don't believe the hype |
| [04:03.42] |
I got Flava and all those things you know |
| [04:06.23] |
Yeah boy, part two bum rush and show |
| [04:08.76] |
Yo Griff, get the green, black, red, and |
| [04:11.01] |
Gold down, countdown to Armageddon |
| [04:13.50] |
Eighty-eight to eight the S-One's will |
| [04:16.07] |
Put the left in effect and I still will |
| [04:18.42] |
Rock the hard jams, treat it like a seminar |
| [04:20.80] |
Reach the bourgeois and rock the boulevard |
| [04:23.24] |
Some say I'm negative, but they're not positive |
| [04:25.72] |
But what I got to give, the media says this |
| [04:28.11] |
Red black and green, you know what I mean |
| [04:30.47] |
The media says this, yo don't believe the hype |
| [04:31.28] |
They got to be beating that pipe you know what I'm sayin' |
| [04:32.89] |
Yo the Megas got 'em goin' up to see Captain Kirk |
| [04:35.59] |
Like a jerk and they outta work, let me tell you a lil' some'in' man |
| [04:37.81] |
A lot of people on radio scared of 'em |
| [04:40.49] |
Bcoz they're too ignorant to understand the lyrics of the |
| [04:43.13] |
that we pumpin' into them clogs their brain cells |
| [04:45.46] |
That just spun their little skulls they call caps |
| [04:47.94] |
You know what I'm sayin' but the S-One's are straightenin' it up |
| [04:51.15] |
Quick fast in a hurry, don't worry vision ain't blurry |
| [04:54.80] |
You know what I'm sayin' yo Terminator X |
| [04:56.69] |
Don't, don't believe, don't believe the hype |
| [05:03.70] |
Don't, don't believe, don't believe the hype |
| [05:09.21] |
Don't believe the hype, don't believe the hype |
| [05:13.41] |
Don't, don't believe the, don't believe the hype |
| [05:18.42] |
|
