Public Enemy #1 lyrics

[Intro]

Hello, what up? Hello?

Yo, I can't, I can't hear you

Let me call you right back

[Verse]

I sense someone's tappin' into my phones, why do

I got this feeling in my bones I might die soon?

The FBI might be tryin' to pull my file soon

I might be walkin' blindfold into a typhoon

I might be seein' rockets light up the night sky

Right outside the window of my living room

And if they do, you can say good night

And bye-bye to them my tunes

If I don't try to record as much before I do

The plan is to have as many in the can as I can

As I stand before you in this booth a walking-dead man

Blank stare, dead pan, look on my face

As I gaze into space, as I wait to be scooped up in that van

As I mysteriously disappear into thin air

And they gonna say a sniper just appeared outta nowhere

And I'll go down in the history as the bloodsuckin' leech

Who hid behind the freedom of speech

Tried to take the 5th Amendment, use it, twist it and bend it

And ended up dyin' the villain, not the hero, splendid

Stupendous way to end this

I can feel the tremors tremendous

In remembrance of September 11th

Flashback to September 7th

When 2Pac was murdered in Vegas

He said it, he predicted his own death, let us never forget it

Should we ever live to regret it

Like the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated in broad day

By the crazed lunatic with a gun

Who just happened to work on the same block

In the library book depository

Where the President would go for a little Friday stroll

Shots fired from the grassy knoll

But they don't know, or do they?

Who's they for them to say "touché"?

We're all vulnerable and it's spook-ay

This is about as kook-ay as I've ever felt now

Count down to nuclear meltdown

Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

You can run, you can do what you want to

But you know you ain't gonna do nothin'

When it's time, it's your time, you are the prime target

You have become Public Enemy number one
