Bad Brains - I Against I Lyrics
In the quest for the test to fulfill an achievement
Everybody's only in it all for themselves
When the fact of the matter is they just don't care
To extend a helping hand to anyone else
So tell me why, did you have to lie
When the fact of the matter is you just don't hear
To comprehend or understand a single word I say
I don't wanna have I go against I!
I don't wanna have I go against I!
Well let me tell you
The same old story, no factual glory
I against I against I against I against
And I say I don't like it
I against I against I against I against I against
Almighty watching
Almighty watching
I against I against I against I against I
And I say I don't like it
And I know I don't want it
I against I against I against I against
I said who's gonna tell the youth about the drugs
About the drugs, mugs, bugs, and the police thugs
About the rotten, stinkin' rackets and the fantasies
Around the nation
Around the nation
Oh what you gonna do?
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you
Oh baby, baby what you gonna do?
I tell you the truth is looking straight at you
I got a brass continental with a 300 Z
I got a color TV with a video too
I got a rest home in Jamaica with my fantasy for all my family
Around the nation
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?

Bad Brains I Against I Comments
Loved.Brought back great times.
Shitty allergy attack. My eyes itch like hell. :P
I just started listening to punk about a year ago. I was curious about Dayglo Abortions because of GWAR's cover of their song "Isn't This Disgusting" and I have to say that Two Dogs Fucking, Feed Us A Fetus, Here Today Guano Tomorrow, Holy Shite and Death Race 2000 were my gateway to punk as a whole and I loved each album. Then I got into DRI, Smut Peddlers, The Descendents, Meatmen, Deathpiggy, DI, Black Flag, Stalag 13 and especially Bad Brain. Don't Bother Me, I Against I, Redbone In The City, Banned In DC, Right Brigade and Riot Squad are my favorite songs from these guys. I'm so happy I stumbled upon Bad Brain and all the bands I've come across, their vocal stylings and sudden mood changes are what I love about Bad Brain.
an amazingly rare stand out as an all-black hardcore punk rock band that I even considered the top band for a while during those days, this song no exception
Fuck yeah
Bad ass. And these guys are Rastafarians. LOL
I wish I could've seen these guys in the 80s. There so dope 🔥
Apparently there is such a thing as progressive punk. The high water mark of hardcore as far as I am concerned. As conclusive as the end of the song itself. As always the best, all around! Mind blowing.
Çok iyi
Greatest group ever! Period.
Super Respect Ritual ◇ New Orleans Louisiana ◇ StephopalOpal aka Big Mama..Thank you for sharing for many
Bought the bad brains album in 1984, aged 14, along side dead Kennedys and crass, these shaped the man i am today, I do try to be a good person witch is down to listening to these rather than my teachers or parents.
everytime i listen to these guy i always think of dead kennedys
WHY PREE?!!?
This is when we was younger.
Harvey Flan
Thanks you guys as of a few million people
We love you bad brains with sat scores That be 95% of the country
bad brains = the best!!!
To me HR is the best singer in all Punk, Metal, alternative music ever. Their reggae/dub tracks really cement my opinion. "I Luv I Jah" is one of the few tracks where a singer being stoned actually enhances his performance.
That gutair riff will never get old to me. Loved em since the 80's when i first heard it. Sk8 boarding music
My History Of American Music teacher brought me here.
Awesome teacher
Cérebros maus, bom nome.
Best ever of all time no one close.
Bad brains is fucking amazing. Coming from A lifelong metalhead with a strange music tattoo and a crimson ghost skull tatoo next to eachother on my arm
This is definitely the hardcore version of bohemian raphsody
Wish I read you first. I just took much longer to say the same thing.
But this is awesome
Still listening to bad brains since I was a lil kid in 1988, hell yeah. 2019
As if being the creators of Hardcore wasn't enough, they also gave a notorious contribute to the foundations of alternative metal.
literally a masterpiece of a song
Notice how it sounds relevant?
It is obviously no wonder that Bad Brains is one of the biggest influence of the Beastie Boys...
I dont get why every focuses on their race, who gives a fuck. Punk is punk, if the sex pistols were black would anything change? No, cuz it doesn’t matter.
I miss 80s punk rock.
I miss 80's everything! ;)
good is to get to know the history of music
I seriously doubt this will ever grow old
The real deal.
I think I still have this on cassette somewhere. I played the fuck out of it when I was a 17 year old back in the suburbs of DC and Baltimore
2:33 The most perfect punk riff of all time
Perfect 🖤🖤🖤🖤
African Americans more suitable with guitar, equipments and such, not sure fucking stupid computer where you get a song with touch if a button! Shame on this generation!
In fact, everyone black, white, Brown, yellow, red, green, etc... so fucked up when in fucking disgusting pose with bling bling all over the body! Shame!
Fuck the hip-hop! All rappers should come suck all over my dick! DISGUSTING beings! Exist by the help of fucking computer! Shame shame shame!! You so should have fucking kill yourself! stop fucking giving shame on our once great species!
The coolest videoclip in existence
BANNED IN DC!
This was released in 1986 -- 10 years after punk in the UK L..M...F..A..O
this is hardcore baby
No THEY ARE NOT LIKE LIVING COLOR....UGH
Ivan Drago Living Color wouldn’t exist without Bad Brains, though.
Steve Harris probably heard the part at 2:24 and thought.. good start for Tailgunner😅
The left media being uneducated idiots informed me about this band.
So they do have a purpose.
I was 15 when this came out. I was in a town that was 20% black and 5% punk . I was a combo plate of bizarre...this stuff set me free
It took me a decade but I'm here
349 people are deaf
Oh let me tell yaaaaahhh!!!
2:43 orgasm
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥and GDM 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Still relavent. Great Band!
Ouvi ai e enfia isso ai no teu cú e na tua cabeça seu jorge. Aprende o que é musica e de onde ela veio...
Good evening echo
This band influenced faith no more, mike patton sings like this in the 80s
His voice the music were perfect and it damn tight to make cover too 😅
Sounds like randy marsh at 2:10
Nice....
just realized how much they affected jonathan davis..
Durch Atmen watch the video for Soul Craft
This and Soulcraft are my two favorite songs by these guys. Hardcore reggae, it doesn't get more badass than that.
This is -PUNK!!
I've got that P.M.A.! positive mental attitude!!
Legendary band.
they suck
People who has no taste says that.
I can’t get my volume turned up loud enough...🤯🤯
I want my money cullen
estoy aquí por CHI CHENG
Electric Factory Philly PA just saw myself COOL!!!
Philly has been one of the best metal fanbases
もう彼此25年以上前、こればっかり聴いてたなぁ。カッケーな、やっぱ。
fichte's favorite song
who here from lil gnar😂
Would be so good to see these guys do a world tour before they call it a day. They are getting on a bit so maybe it will never actually happen?! Have only managed to see them perform on the one occasion and yes they were indeed rather excellent! Long live!
The striking effect of the sound of that snare at the beginning... it’s too good.
This is like Hed Pe and Skindred combined.
Anyone else here from JRE?
1:15 D.R.I. ! Btw, in their vid "Abduction" D.R.I.'s drummer is wearing Bad Brains shirt. (not my observation though)
So this is the band that's on Hiromu Takahashi's jacket :D
EA SKATE!
🤘🤘🤘
Godfathers of real hardcore
I'm only 15 but my dad took to bad brains concert when I was like 7 years old I wish I could experienced them back in there prime cause they were a lot more chill
"BAP BRAIVS"
It's been a while for me, thank you.
Poor youth
its "to comprehend *overstand* a single word I say" this is a legitimate difference in terminology lending to the idea of personal empowerment amidst also respecting the idea of community" its a reoccurring theme in rasta culture.
These guys are Pioneers of cross over reggae, punk, metal, hardcore!
I love it
Ty Dolla Sign sent me here
stop posting this fucking shit on our cultures
of course it is good, because it is BLACK
punk is multiracial ALWAYS
Still have the live 87 cd to this day.. live they even better best kept secret Bad Brains !!!!!
Ty Dolla Sign's favourite band.
stop posting this fucking shit on our cultures
Great song takes me back.I remember this song Everytime I walked into Sundance LongIsland late 80's.
You haven't heard them until you hear them live.
6/13/2018 this is my song of the day
@Coloredspaces
Met a guy with their shirt after a slipknot show asked him about the band. 3 years later I check them out. Very interesting guitar work
lol slipknot oh my fucking gawd does one really have to read that shit here lol
