Know Your Enemy

Know your enemy

Come on

Born with insight and a raised fist

A witness to the slit wrist

As we move into '92

Still in a room without a view

Ya got to know, ya got to know

That when I say go, go, go

Amp up and amplify, defy

I'm a brother with a furious mind

Action must be taken

We don't need the key, we'll break in

Something must be done

About vengeance, a badge and a gun

'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system

I was born to rage against 'em

Fist in ya face in the place and I'll drop the style clearly

Know your enemy

Know your enemy

Yeah

Ayo, get with this, ugh

Word is born

Fight the war, fuck the norm

Now I got no patience

So sick of complacence

With the D, the E, the F, the I, the A, the N, the C, the E

Mind of a revolutionary, so clear the lane

The finger to the land of the chains

What? The "land of the free"?

Whoever told you that is your enemy

Now something must be done

About vengeance, a badge, and a gun

'Cause I'll rip the mic, rip the stage, rip the system

I was born to rage against 'em

Now action must be taken

We don't need the key, we'll break in

I've got no patience now

So sick of complacence now

I've got no patience now

So sick of complacence now

Sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of you

Time has come to pay

Know your enemy

Come on

Yes, I know my enemies

They're the teachers who taught me to fight me

Compromise, conformity

Assimilation, submission

Ignorance, hypocrisy

Brutality, the elite

All of which are American dreams

All of which are American dreams

All of which are American dreams

All of which are American dreams

All of which are American dreams

All of which are American dreams

All of which are American dreams

All of which are American dreams
