Yo Chuck, bust a move man

I was on my way up here to the studio

Ya know what I'm sayin'

And this brother stop me and axe me

"Yo wassup with that brother Chuckie D, he swear he nice"

I said

"Yo the brother don't swear he's nice, he knows he's nice"

Ya know what I'm sayin'

So Chuck, we gotta fill in

You turn him into a Public Enemy man

Now remeber that line you was kicking to me

On the way out to LA?

While we was in the car on our way to the Shot (?)

Well yo right now kick the bass for them brothers

And let them know

What goes on

What goes on

Well I'm all in - put it up on the board

Another rapper shot down from the mouth that roared

1-2-3 down for the count

The result of my lyrics - oh yes, no doubt

Cold rock rap - 49er supreme

Is what I choose and I use - I never lose to a team

Cause I can can go solo - like a Tyson bolo

Make the fly girls wanna have my photo

Run in their room - hang it on the wall

In remembrance that I rocked them all

Suckers, ducks, ho-hum emcees

You can't rock the kid - so go cut the cheese

Take this application of rhymes like these

My rap's red hot - 110 degrees

So don't start bassin' I'll start placin'

Bets on that you'll be disgracing

You and your mind from a beatin' from my rhymes

A time for a crime that I can't find

I'll show you my gun - my Uzi weighs a ton

Because I'm Public Enemy number one

One (x7)

You got no rap - but you want to battle

It's like havin' a boat - but you got no paddle

Cause I never pause - I say it because

I don't break in stores - but I break all laws

Written while sittin' - all fittin' not bitten

Givin' me the juice that your not gettin'

I'm not a law obeyer - so you can tell your mayor

I'm a non-stop, rhythm rock poetry sayer

I'm the rhyme player - the ozone layer

A battle what? Here's a bible start your prayer

This word to the wise is justified

If they ask you what happened - just admit you lied

You just got caught a - for going out of order

And now you're servin' football teams their water

You messed with the master, word to Chuck

And I'll wax cold tax, made sure you got dome (?)

You just got dissed - all but dismissed

Sucker duck emcees - you get me pissed

It's no fun - being on the run

Because they got me - Public Enemy number one

One - One - One

One - One - One

Don't you know, don't you know

I got a posse over force to back me up

Watch out, we got never the match

Ambush attack on my back - doubleteamin', get creamed

So we have us ??? ???

Wanna hear it again

We got a force - enemy down

The L.I. circuit sound

Ain't it Chuckie D, myself and KG - Flavor, DJ Melody

Oh yes, I presume it's the tunes - that make us groom

To make all the ladies swoom (?)

But it's also the words from outer region - a goldboy session

Kickin' like Bruce Lee's chinese connection

On stereo - never ever ???

All wax - yes I'm talkin' about vinyl

They said stop freeze

I got froze up

Because I'm Public Enemy number one

One - One - One

One - One - One

One - One - One

For all you suckers - liars, your cheap amplifiers

You crossed up wires are always starting fires

You grown up criers - now here's a pair of pliers

Get a job like your mother - I heard she fixes old dryers

You have no desires - your father fixes tires

You try to sell ya equipment - but you get no buyers

It's you they never hire - you're never on flyers

Cause you and your crew - is only known as good triers

Known as the poetic political lyrical son

I'm Public Enemy number one

One - One - One

One - One - One

One - One - One

Yeah, that's right Chuck man

That's what you gotta do

You gotta tell them just like that

Ya know what I'm sayin'

Cause yo man, let me tell you a little somethin' man

These brothers runnin' around - hard headed

Makin' a little jealous

Ya know what I'm sayin'

Just like that, ya know

They try to bring you down with 'em

But yo Chuck, you gotta let 'em know who's who in the world of beat

You gotta let 'em know that this is the 80's

And we can get all the ladies

And in the backyard we got a fly Mercedes

And that's the way the story goes

That's just the way the story goes

Let me tell you a little somethin' man
