PUBLIC ENEMY
"Race Against Time"
(Chuck D / Gary G-Wiz / Studdah Man)

Microphone check
Microphone check

Can I get a check up from the neck up
Can I kick a rhyme
While I'm checkin my time
Can I get a cure
'Cause you did da crime
For sure
You're

Probably killin me
Wit these shots

Tell me what I got
And I'm gone

Pandemic
Who did it
Right who did it
That's who did it

WHO/World Health Organized
Murderized

Came to the aid got paid

Doctor doctor in a lab
Concocted a germ warfare to the botty
I rocked it

105 million goin down
In da ground

Most in da black an da brown
Ow!

How did I catch this riddle
If I didn't crossover
Like a Hardaway dribble

They blamed it on some
Green African money

Now ain't that funky

While da clock
Is doin da tickin and tock

I didn't know

Dat da guns aimed and cocked

We're runnin outta
Time
Time
Rage against

Testin 1 - 2
Testin 1 - 2

Can I get a blood check testin 1 - 2

Can I get a witness? (Yes, you can)
Can I get a witness? (Yes, you can)

Then check it

I'm checkin records and facts
About da battle
To da Indian, Japanese
Whites and blacks

Germs they spread it
Warfare I read it
Quote me on this yes and I said it
Bet it

Bigger damage than the trigger and glocks
Mass murder in mass from a
Blanket full a small pox

No guarantees gettin lesser fees
In Tuskegee blacks got shot
Wit disease

Please check da time
C'mon check da rhyme

Tribe a mine killed by da swine

Who crossed da line?
Who did da crime

The mind of a world destroyin kind

We're runnin outta
Time
Time
Rage against time

Oh
Ey

A lil piece of mind
While we runnin outta time
People of color
Goin out like no other kind
Mad drama genetic gettin wreck
Protect da neck check the epidemic
Drug use, addiction and murder
I heard a pregnancy
Infant mortality
Rest in poverty
Not piece
Disease till deceased
Sterilized
Realized
That beast
So here's a word to the wise
We're runnin outta
Time
Time
