Lyrics

[Intro] When you're Black, you're pro-rock all the time What? Yo, what's up? This is Breeze and you're listening to Enemy Radio [Chorus] What? What rock is [Verse 1] Philosophy, politics, rebellion, recovery Gimmicks, magic, inspiration, music Fans, the road, drums, sexy Racism Rock and roll is the white version of rhythm and blues, okay? No, I mean, this not no prejudice thing, so don't do that, alright? I'm just tellin' you the real truth Religion, industry, doom [Chorus] What rock is What? What rock is [Verse 2] Cynics, critics, dazed, confused Perception, imagery, rivalry, money Material, marketing, truth, ego Drinking, business, sex, glory (What?) [Bridge] Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock, rock (What?) [Interlude] Rock and roll Is the offshoot of Black music (What rock is) What type of effects does this music havе upon people? Enjoyed only, rock and roll [Interlude] Y'all havin' a good timе? How y'all feelin' tonight, y'all? You doin' alright? (Rock and roll), yeah You doin' alright, alright (Rock and roll) Make some noise, y'all, come on, y'all There we go [Verse 3] Loud is the living of the life we lead They're coming live with the volume with the speech y'all need Turn it up, Marshall stacks bleed all the DBs What the hell? Blow 'em fuckin' away, pop them decibels Pedal to the medal, rubber sole to the fight Bleed the needle, ghetto stacks from the left to the right Like a pedal to the medal, rubber sole to the fight Bleed the needle, ghetto stacks from the left to the right (What?) [Chorus] We're just gonna get this started on some old-school What rock is And by this standard of judgement What? And by this standard of judgement It's obvious that something's gone very wrong Much of contemporary rock [Outro] I'm not payin' attention to your definition We not payin' attention to your definition We at rock would like to say thank you for listening At this time, we're signing off to say goodbye You're not with it, you might just miss it You're not with it, you might just miss it You're not with it, you might just miss it That's okay, I'ma be born the w— You're not with it, you might just miss it Yeah No, you don't have much time left You can call in rock next week if you want to
