Public Enemy - Hazy Shade Of Criminal lyrics

Ridenhour - drayton - the jbl - robertz - gary g-wiz Reach uppity reach gotta reach Power to the people & the beats Some people accuse some people of crimes Some people get away wit' losin' my rhyme They don't like where i'm comin' from So dey play dumb Dumb diggetty dumbb diggetty dumb But i'm tellin' you what they do Play a fool While the real thief cools in a pool He who got the finger on the war bu*ton Talkin' loud ain't sayin' nuttin Tv got 'em bigger than life All he needs is a knife Who's the criminal?
