News reporter: 
Earlier today in Broward County, appalling court 
judges upheld the previous 
ruling to ban the sale of Miami rap group the 2 Live Crew's 
double-platinum album, "Nasty As They Wanna Be," in Broward County. 

"We think it's the banning of free speech. First Amendment protects 
material, resultably." 

Luke (being interviewed): 
"We don't talk about, uh, harrassing and sexually brutalizing women in 
my music, man!" 
"We don't do that in my music, man! I'm tired of you saying that!" 

Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice 
We've got white-collar people trying to grab our style 
Saying we're too nasty and we're 2 Live 
Corrupted politicians playing games 
Bringing us down to boost their fame 
They must be joking thinking we will fall 
But they're like flies movin' the wall 
We stand tall from beginning to end 
With the help from fans and all our friends 
Freedom of speech will never die 
For us to help, our ancestors died 
Don't keep thinking that we will quit 
We'll always stand and never sit 
We're 2 live, 2 black, 2 strong 
Doing the right thing, and not the wrong 
So listen up, y'all, to what we say 
We won't be banned in the U.S.A.! 

Reporter: 
"Luke's concerts are for adults" 
Luke (being interviewed): 
"If it's an adult show you have to be 18" 
"Our record is a year old, but with all the publicity, there's a lot of 
people ... curiosity is around!" 
"We're selling records to a totally different audience." 
"I take a precaution that nobody else has not stickered my album, I made 

TWO versions" 

Verse 2: Brother Marquis 
The First Amendment gave us freedom of speech 
So what you sayin'? It didn't include me? 
I like to party and have a good time 
There's nothin' but pleasure written in our rhyme 
I know you don't think we'll ever quit 
We've got some people on our side who won't take your lip 
We're gonna do all the things we wanna do 
You can't stand to see a brother get as rich as you 
This is the 90s and we're conin' on strong 
Sayin' things and doin' things that you're sayin's wrong 
Wisen up, 'cause on Election Day, 
We'll see who's banned in the U.S.A.!
