Caught, Can We Get a Witness?

Lyrics

[Intro: Chuck D] Somebody in the house, say, "Yeah!" "Yeah!" If y'all really like to rock the funky beats, somebody in the house, say, "Hell yeah!" "Hell yeah!" I like that for the people up top, check this out: [Judge bangs his gavel] "Order in the court" [Professor Griff] Yo, I can't believe they got the P.E. in court before the judge on some nonsense I got the S1s ready Chuck, Flav, what's up? [Verse 1: Chuck D] Get caught, now in court 'cause I stole a beat This is a sampling sport But I'm giving it a new name, what you hear is mine P.E., you know the time Now, what in the heaven does a jury know about? Hell, if I took it, but they just look at me Like, "Hey, I'm on a mission, check it out, y'all: condition" Ain't right, sittin' like dynamite Goin' to blow you up, and it just might Blow up the bench and Judge, the courtroom, plus, I gotta mention This court is dismissed When I grab the mic Yo, Flav... [Flavor Flav] What is this? What y'all think y'all doin', bringin' us to court for this time to say we're stealin' beats? Y'all can't copyright no beats, man Yo, Chuck, is they crazy man? [Verse 2] Get hyped, c'mon, we gotta Gather around - gotcha Mail from the courts and jail Claims I stole the beats that I rail Look at how I'm livin' like And they're gonna check the mike, right? - Sike C'mon, 'cause I'm livin' low, lower than low What a sucker know Found this mineral that I call a beat Paid zero Packed the load 'cause it's better than gold People don't ask the price, 'cause its sold They say that I sample But they should sample this: my pit bull We ain't goin' for this, they say that I stole this Can I get a witness? Understand where we're goin' Then listen to this, plus my Roland Comin' from down from below Rebound, c'mon, boost up the stereo Snakes in the morning Wake up scared, afraid of my warning They claim that I'm violent Now I choose to be silent, can I get a witness? [Flavor Flav] Yo, Griff Move the S1s out on the judge and the jury Hold them hostage Time for Terminator X to step in and show 'em that he's in effect, boy Yeah, ha ha Cold Medina, ha ha Hey, yo, Terminator, don't hurt 'em, man Hey, yo, Griff, hold them hostage, boy .. [Professor Griff] Ignorance is at an all-time high Yo, Chuck, I think they need to be educated S1s, take a stand Yo, Chuck, stand up to 'em Kick it [Verse 3] C'mon, get wit' it Something ain't right, I got to admit it Made me mad when I was on tour That I declared war on black radio They say that I planned this On the radio most of you will demand this Won't be on a playlist Bust the way that I say this: No sell out Yeah Hey, huh --yeah, fellas, do you we think we gonna sell out? Nah, man I said, "Do you think we gonna sell out?" No! That's 'cause we ain't caught Yo, Flav, do you think we gonna sell out? I know if we do, we get the hell out Uh-huh - yo, Griff, you and the S1s, do you think we gonna sell out? No, not in this damn time, my brother Uh-huh, Terminator X, hey, do you think we gonna sell out? [Ad libs] [Verse 4] You singers are spineless As you sing your senseless songs to the mindless Your general subject, love, is minimal It's sex for profit Scream that I sample For example, time that you ran to the federal Court in U.S. it don't mean you Yeah, 'cause they fronted on you The posse's ready, Terminator X, yes, he's ready The S1Ws, Griff, are you ready? [Ad libs] Armageddon been in effect, go get a late pass They say that we stole this I rebel with a raised fist, can we get a witness? [Ad libs] Get into, get up, get involved Cold medina
