Public Enemy - Riotstarted lyrics

Mind over matter - mouth in motion Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet They started a riot Spent a buck in the 90's - whatcha you got is a preacher Forgivin' this torture of the system that brought 'cha I'm on a mission and you got that right Addin' fuel to the fire - punch to the fight Many have forgotten what we came here for Never knew or had a clue - so you're on the floor Just growin not knowin about your past Now you're lookin' pretty stupid while you're shakin' your a** Mind over matter - mouth in motion Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet They started a riot Some people fear me when I talk this way Some come near me - some run away Some people take heed to every word I say Some wanna build a posse - some stay away Some people think that we plan to fail Wonder why we go under or we go to jail Some ask us why we act the way we act Without lookin' how long they kept us back Mind over matter - mouth in motion Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet They started a riot Yes you if I bore you - I won't ignore you I'm sayin things that they say I'm not supposed to Give you pride that you may not find If you're blind about your past then I'll point behind Kings, queens, warriors, lovers People proud - sisters and brothers Their biggest fear - s**ers get tears When we can top their best idea Mind over matter - mouth in motion Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet They started a riot Mind revolution - our solution Mind over matter - mouth in motion Corners don't sell it - no you can't buy it Defy cause I'll never be quiet They started a riot Our solution - mind revolution Can't sell it - no you can't buy it in a potion You lie about the life that you wanted to try Tellin' me about a head - you decided to fly Another brother with the same woes that you face But you shot with the same hands - you fall from grace Every brother should be every brother's keeper But you shot with your left while your right was on your beeper Mind over matter - mouth in motion Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet They started a riot As the world turns - it's a terrible waste To see the stupid look stuck on your face Timebomb alarm for the world - just try it Known to all zones as the one man riot I'm on a mission to set you straight Children - it's not too late Explain to the world when it's plain to see To be what the world doesn't want us to be Mind over matter - mouth in motion Can't defy cause I'll never be quiet They started a riot
