Catch The Thrown - Public Enemy
Chorus: What you read is what you saw And what you keep is what you saw And what the people want to know Is who's gonna cast the thrown What you got is what they want And what they see they say they need And people bleeding from the... Now who's gonna cast the thrown? Thrown at, thrown under Throw to the side, thrown up the... we're throwing down Thrown under the bus drag and underground Power to the people salute the underground Against those standards and mansions Spitting down at us from up the higher ground See the people, strike the power, face the poor... In God we trust all money, this is slap in the face To the rest of all human race! Host hold your... Change your name, but you can't change race n the United States People say they're kings, but say they're queens If we all gonna eat, what does it all mean? We watch and listen, but I leave it alone But who's gonna catch the thrown? Chorus: What you read is what you saw And what you keep is what you saw And what the people want to know Is who's gonna cast the thrown What you got is what they want And what they see they say they need And people bleeding from the... Now who's gonna cast the thrown? Divide and conquer, the oldest trick in the game Is the war between the people who are really the same As the rich people get richer, the poor get bitchie The people keep kissing, the feds don't listen This recession seen a black depression Since your wasting in a nation heading for desperation No quarter back is sat on a couch Inside the black America is ouch! Government still love you and President the executions End up looking like some final solutions Murder is the institution backed up and hacked up Buy some hand written constitution. Do what you do! Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Hebrew You're all what you do, I'll be seeing human beings... Yet never have so many but screwed up some few! We watch the kings and queens and what they owe But who's gonna catch the thrown? (There's a man going round, take your...) ... designed to incriminate... Equality is a myth! They had me in jail for a crime I didn't even commit! The stereo type They feel every color is a failure right? Brothers who resist I consider a threat From Sitting Bull to Malcolm X In the land of free I suspect elections John Kennedy had the mob connections President Reagan sold guns to Iraq Yet they're trying to say the criminals are all black! What's up with these corrupt politicians? Them drugs they be shipping, but they never go to prison And a fucked up system that they never tried to back me Fuck gentlemen, guilty, clearly! Chorus: Cast the thrown, you gotta test the fire Is that the one per cent that you need, or... Cast the thrown, I gotta test the fire Is that the one per cent that you want? You gotta occupy! (There's a man going round, take your...) Free the... prisoners, they ain't listening ... but who is that whistling? Foes making the killing and juxtapose against those giving a living Give me something, cause... be official Is the need to... replace by the greed I ain't trying to yell at you or sell you ... they already... And I'll be... to you, did I mention? The cheapest price is to pay attention Now the chess is just being at your best Without you can hold your own Fuck! Who's gonna catch the thrown? Chorus: What you read is what you saw And what you keep is what you saw And what the people want to know Is who's gonna cast the thrown?
