Public Enemy - Catch The Thrown lyrics

What you reap is what you sow And what you keep is what you owe And what the people want to know Is whose gonna catch the thrown? And what you got is what they want And what they see they say they need And people bleeding from the greed Now whose gonna catch the thrown? [Chuck D] Thrown at Thrown under Thrown to the side Throwin up disgusted So were throwin down Thrown under the bus draggin on the Ground Power to the people salute the underground Against those standing In mansions Spittin at us from up that higher ground Feed the people Fight the power Fix the poor But that 1% done shut the door In god we trust on money Is a slap in the face To the rest of the whole human race Post racial wealth and taste Change a name But you cant change race in the united states People say they kings Plus say they're queens If we all don't eat What does it all mean? We watch and listen But I'll leave it alone But who's gonna catch the thrown? What you reap is what you sow And what you keep is what you owe And what the people want to know Is whose gonna catch the thrown? And what you got is what they want And what they see they say they need And people bleeding from the greed Now whose gonna catch the thrown? [Chuck D] Divide and conquer Oldest trick in the game War between people who are really the same As the rich get richer The poor get b**hin The people keep kissin The feds don't listen This recession seen a black depression In a nation headed for desperation No quarterback and sacked on a couch Sound of black america is ouch Governments don't love you When prisons and executions End up looking like some final solutions Murder is an institution Backed up and hacked up By some handwritten constitution Do what you do Buddist christian hindu m**m & hebrew You are what you do I be seein human beings as stew Yet never have so many been screwed by so few We watch the kings&queens And what they own But Who's gonna catch the thrown? [Cormega] The system is designed to incriminate Genocide was devolved to eliminate Equality is a myth They had me in jail for a crime I didn't even commit A stereotype They feel every color is inferior right Brothers who resist are considered a threat From sitting bull to malcolm x In the land of the free and suspect elections John kennedy had the mob connections President reagan sold guns to iraq Yet they try to say that criminals are all black Whats up with these corrupt politicians And d** they be shipping But they never go to prison This f**ed up system better never try to bag me f** zimmerman, guilty Clearly [Bridge] Catch the thrown, you got to testify Is that the 1% that you need says that you occupy Catch the thrown I got ta testify Is that the 1% that yall want says that you occupy [Chuck D] Free the mind prisoners They ain't listening F the popo But who dat whistling? Foes making a k**ing Juxtaposed against those getting a livin Gimme shelter cause these issues be official Is the need to feed Replaced by the greed? I ain't trying to yell at you Sell to you Some bs they already told to you Ended up being sold to you Did I mention? Cheapest price is to pay attention Now the test is just being at your best With that you can Hold your own But who's gonna catch the thrown?
