Don't, don't
Don't, don't
Don't, don't
(Now here's what I want you all to do for me)
Back, caught you lookin' for the same thing
It's a new thing, check out this I bring
Uh, oh, the roll below the level, 'cause I'm livin' low
Next to the bass, (c'mon), turn up the radio
They claimin' I'm a criminal
But now I wonder how, some people never know
The enemy could be their friend, guardian
I'm not a hooligan, I rock the party and clear all the madness
I'm not a racist, preach to teach to all
('Cause some they never had this)
Number one, not born to run, about the gun
I wasn't licensed to have one
The minute they see me, fear me
I'm the epitome, a "Public Enemy"
Used, abused, without clues
I refused to blow a fuse
They even had it on the news
Don't believe the hype
Don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype
Don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype
Yes, was the start of my last jam, so here it is again
Another def jam, but since I gave you all a little something
That I knew you lacked, they still consider me a new jack
All the critics you can hang 'em, I'll hold the rope
But they hope to the Pope, and pray it ain't dope
The follower of Farrakhan, don't tell me that you understand
Until you hear the man, the book of the new school rap game
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
Yes to them, but to me I'm a different kind
We're brothers of the same mind, unblind
Caught in the middle and not surrenderin'
I don't rhyme for the sake of riddlin', some claim that I'm a smuggler
Some say I never heard of ya, a rap burglar, false media
We don't need it, do we? (it's fake that's what it be to ya, dig me?
Yo, Terminator X, step up on the stand
And show these people what time it is, boy)
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't believe the hype
Don't believe the hype, don't believe the hype
