Who Stole the Soul?

Lyrics

[Intro] Ladies and gentlemen Public Enemy Damn This is super Dynamite [Chorus] Soul, soul, soul, soul Soul, soul, soul, soul Soul, soul, soul, soul (I know you got it, live it up) Soul, soul, soul, soul (Come on, you got it, all that) [Verse 1] Once again, this is it Turn it up, here we go But this time, the rhyme's Gonna ask who did the crime Then let's get down to the nitty-gritty I wanna know who picked Wilson's pocket After he rocked it, fact, he shocked it Same kinda thing they threw at James (Brown) And what they did to Redd was a shame The bigger the Blacks get, the bigger the feds want a piece of that Booty Intentional Rape System Like we ain't paid enough in this bitch, that's why I dissed them I learned we earned, got no concern Instead, we burned, where the hell is our return? Plain and simp', the system's a pimp But I refuse to be a ho who stole the soul [Verse 2] Ain't no different than in South Africa Over here they'll go after you to steal your soul Like over there, they stole our gold Yo, they say the Black don't know how to act (Who, me?) 'Cause we're waitin' for the big payback But we know it'll never come That's why I say, "Come and get some" Why when the Black moves in, Jack moves out Come to stay, Jack moves away Ain't we all people? How the hell can a color be no good to a neighborhood? Help straighten me out 'Cause my tribe gets a funny vibe Sayin' I'm wrong for singin' a song Without solutions All the dancers answer questions Try to be the best and Let everybody know before I blow 'Cause I wanna know what sucker stole the soul [Chorus] Soul, soul, soul, soul (I know you got it, come on, live it up) Soul, soul, soul, soul (Yeah, come on) [Bridge] Who stole the soul? Who stole the soul? Who stole the soul? Okay, I wanna register a complaint Come on, y'all Come on, y'all Again, y'all Again, y'all Come on, y'all Again, y'all Aha [Verse 3] We choose to use their ways and holidays Notice some of them are heller days Invented by those that never repented For the sins within that killed my kin But that's all right I try to do what a brother does But I'll never know if you're my cuz That's why I try my best to unite Damn the rest if they don't like it Banned from many arenas Word from the motherland, has anybody seen her? (Have you seen her?) Jack was nimble, Jack was quick (Sophina) Got a question for Jack, ask him Forty acres and a mule, Jack (Jack) Where is it? Why'd you try to fool the Black? (Black) It wasn't you, but you pledge allegiance To the red, white, and blue Suckers that stole the soul [Chorus] Soul, soul, soul, soul (Yeah, come on, I know you got it, live it up) Soul, soul, soul, soul (Come on, come on, again) Soul, soul, soul, soul (Yeah, live it up, keep it up, come on) Soul, soul, soul (I know you got it, damn right, yo) [Outro] I said, "Hey, man, why don't you tell a brother how to get to Brooklyn, Jack? You know we gotta stick together, man What's the matter with you? Where is your soul?" I don't know
