Public Enemy - So Whatcha Gone Do Now? Lyrics
Talkin dat drive by shit
Everybody talkin dat gangsta shit
Talkin dat drive by thang
Everybody talking dat gangsta swang
Slaves to the rhythm of the master
Buck boom buck another
Neighborhood disaster
(Drummer hit me one)
A gun iz a gun iz
A muther fuckin gun
But an organized side
Keep a sellout nigga on the run
Step on the rest of the hood
Till the drug raid
See you runnin like roaches
Black gangstas need track coaches
The white law set you up raw
When you have his trust in killin us
Talkin dat gattalk
Walkin dat catwalk
Where you tryin to go wit dat
Don't even go dere wit dat rap
Guns drugs an money
All you know how
So whatcha gonna do now?
I'm bout ready to bounce
Trouble on the corner of blunt ave
An 40 ounce
Madd uncivilized lifestyles
30 years bids for kids, now thats wild
I'm raisin my child
I'm steppin to da curb
Wit a sign do not disturb
Too much don't give a fuck
Or a damn thing
But choose what the other man bring
I sing a song cause I see wrong
I'm not down with the fe fi fo
Where I come from
See, the brothers ain't dumb
Sense goes over nonsense
When it makes no sense
I'm throwin up da fence
Talkin dat drive by shit
Everybody talkin dat gangsta shit
Talkin dat drive by thang
Everybody talkin dat gangsta swang
Talkin dat gattalk
Walkin dat catwalk
Were you tryin to go wit dat
Dont even go there wit dat rap
Guns drugs & money
All you know how
So whatcha gone do now?
[Break]
The only good niga iz a dead niga
Dats what they used to say
Cant understand why a man
Gotta use a trigga
On his own, suppose to act grown
Cracka in da back
Watch a brother pull a trigga on another brother
Couldn't shoot and shot a mother
Four kids alone home
Ungrown & now they on they own
Now check yourself cool
What good iz da hood if ya actin a fool
Talkin dat gattalk, walkin dat catwalk

FOR A MISTAKE WITH OIL
JUST THE GLIDDEN COMP HALF A KIDNEY YEAH NOT A TERRORIST
From 1987- 1995 are some real years because of the music and the events
Within those years.
BYE BLACKBURN ALSO MANSON AND BLACKBERRY AND LADEN QUIT IF YOU DONT GET YOUR WAY BLAMING OTHER WITH YOUR SOOOOO CALLED INPEACHMENTS GET LOST
mike deaver classic
This is at a time where black power and situations were real in live color and audio. Sad to see how blacks are in mainstream today
A HIGH TERRORIST AND BUDS
WHO DO YOU THINK GAVE THEM THE IDEA!!!!!!
First time listening wtf how did i not hear this before its majestic
P.E. simply an inspiration!!!!! Love these dudes!!!!
Awesome!!!
PE predicted the first Black President and it's Backlash (Whitelash??) in one 4 minute video.Cause you're seeing it now in 2019
I thought I was the greateST PE fan,...I stumbled across this. 4 some reason I don't remember. Going on my PE playlist 30 secs ago!
All about that that revolution. I'm here 4 it!
SUPER SLEPT ON...PUBLIC ENEMY #1
FOREVER
2019...
"I sing a song cause I see wrong"
... Goddamn right.
2K19 and still top notch... greetings from Germany!
Ballas vs grove st families
Great lyrics! Chuck 'killing' all these fake gangsterappers (2pac, Game, Snoop Biggie etc etc) ! 'talking that gattalk, walking that catwalk" and thats exactly what it is..
See, I was right. A lot of East Coast brothas didn't necessarily like all that *Dopeman, dopeman, drive-by* content. They were like _Damn brothas, we're tryna uplift the community and y'all are poisoning it._ That was (don't know if it still is) the real reason for East v. West tension. It's also a regional thing. East and West - night and day. East Coast sonics were different than West Coast sonics. Thankfully, my ears never discriminated. I didn't give a damn where the music came from. As long as it was dope and I could bop around to it then hey...all good.
I think one should do a read through Tim Dog's "Fuck Compton" to see how this view is plausible.
S1W's comin in the nick of time.
that's what grand theft auto San Andreas got that from ballas purple and Grove Street green
- "So whatcha gonna do now (C_l_a_s__C)" !!! -
Why censoring your own song?
I think this is clearly the single most underrated song by PE and in hip hop due to it's relevance in 2018
Not even nearly appreciated enough less than 500k views ????
not enough face tattoos for the youngbloods.
the beat is so dope! Love it
those beat wtf public enemy your are legends
Wow so now the white cops have their faces censored, might be VEVOs fault for once
K vas a hacer ahora?pues seguir rapeando,......
The most prophetic music is always relevant for every generation thereafter. Stay militant and don't cut people of your own ilk down.
JACK WHITE 00000 NOTHING
This shit is too hype I'm loving this groove talking that gat talk walking that catwalk, brilliant!!!
That groove is indeed very lovely
Tupac said he likes this record
я с Украины, тащусь с этого
You’ve got to admire the organisation
I'm from Dallas and remember when this video first came out, I couldn't believe PE was in the house
I'm from Dallas too, had no idea they made a video here. I would have certainly shown up had I known. Damn shame that when people think of Dallas that they only think of JFK... and the Cowboys lol
This is England at the next election
We’ll still overpower u mugz
I don’t think your the problem Americans have with it’s more the money makers
The power of divide and conquer
rap guns drugs and money
они предсказали это как симпсоны трампа
Not the video tho
White English man n I love this shit
yo flava flav when you get to the sic we need to take a picture together.
P.E. .....The Most Important Hip Hop Group Of All Time.
Dope classic shit
So, no one noticed Ben Affleck in this video?
https://soundcloud.com/billy-bryanonline-phil-g/billy-raptivist-rap-nzolo-mafreestyle
those edits just ruined it man.. gotta listen to the "dirty" version
Sick guitar riff.
Great! I love this video. The whole fact the man got saved from a assassination attack.
So why white people in the vid if it's black gansters? Shooter should be black. Talkin black gatsters but showin white guy with a gun? How about white gangters with black gunman?
cats get up and dance to this meowwwwwww
Afro - Fascist. Love you PE
I don't remember PE being this dope! I'm going to be downloading their entire catalog
Same here bro. It took me getting older to truly appreciate them. It seems like at least 95% of their stuff is like super dope and super woke, but real woke not fake
To be fair, this is the best song the whole album
pure rap !
P.E. #1!✊
Same reality..... Coincidence
Россия здесь
Yes, true..
maaan.. thats deep
REALEST THANG!!!
the fight for our freedom is never a lost cause
the wannabe, wannabe gangsters just couldn't understand this. the wannabe gangstas had already brainwashed them. then DR. DRE of sequin and lace became a gangster. so you KNOW that shit has turned beyond pop, and this is a lost cause.
Legendary.
FIGHT !!!!
PE, never folded for the commercialization, or changed their format to match what was really popular at that time.
yeah that's why this was their bon voyage... and bitch-ass deaf jam had to keep trying to compete with the trend. this was basically shitting on it. WAIT, but then puffy was okay?? or was he already out by this point? well he had Biggie carrying his ass.
I love this song still revalant today.
Just a massive shout out to all you real Hip-Hoppers who are down with what,s going on... Always keep it real... Peace out... Pesky185!
Watch and read Public Enemy!
DID U REALIZE THAT the gangs in this video are the ballas and the groove street?
No cuz im portuguese
Fortez Fortes purple is grape street crips ion know about green
Fortez Fortes the ballas is only on gta .
the blue are the crips
crips(blue) and bloods(red) = gta groove street and ballas ikr
foreshadowing?
11 People are talkin that gat talk and walkin that cat walk
HAY EVERYONE: Public Enemy predicted a Black President!!!
+Marv Servil Public Enemy predicted a LOT of stuff.. which is why people need to listen to them.
gnarmarv2 that stuff was predictable and Malcom predicted it way before P.E did
best hip hop group of all time, krs1 the best single rapper
you got a thumbs up on the best "hip hop" group, but you missed big time with krs one. his claim to fame was that he tried to one-up mc shan. and then i heard afirka bombatta raped him. or he gave it up, or something like that.
George Hall the teachers
George Hall No sir Rakim Allah is the best and greatest emcee of all time. Period.
Of course - Rakim The Master is the best emcee ever.
Shad Nakada No doubt
Anyone got an I.D on the bassline and keys sample?
@Max MooreI have been wondering that for years now and this song is 21 years old
+Max Moore All I can find is a sample from Mandrill - After the race (at 0:39). Go to whosampled dot com, best data base for sample use
"Inimigo Público,essa música,essa grupo de Rap,merece meu respeito."
Adriano Andrade es public enemy no "inmigo publico" , that is a translate.
Hott shit chuck still getting it n
Does Vevo only share it's censored version of songs? I mean this is almost unintelligible, is there a 'grown-ups' version of Vevo where we can hear the uncensored version? It just seems odd on YouTube where the rest of the platform has outgrown it's titillation / fear of naughty words.
SEE YA RUNNIN LIKE ROACHES......BLACK GANGSTAS NEED TRACK COACHES!
a partir del minuto 0:53 me parece escuchar a lakim shabazz
What the fuck youtube?
Every version of Fight the Power is "Not available?"
Is Big Brother your sugar daddy or what?
I know you are a big old corp now but you used to be cool and for the people!
Guess that's over now huh?
I can watch fight the power videos don't know why you can't tho huh sucks to be you lmmfao
if a video is down it's most likely the artist himself that did idiot lolll XD
PE is unlikely to shut the videos down, on youtube its up to vevo, i guess. Nevertheless i can find several uploads of fight the power as on today...
Justin Thurston Jump all over spotify for that jam...
Justin Thurston No one is for the people except God.
love me some public enemy
This is true rebellion. It takes a lot of guts to go up against what is popular.
tell the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this shit toooo heavy!!!! *falls down on back
I forgot about this video. But i do remember Give It Up, What Kind of Power We Got, and I Stand Accused. PE's 1994 album was pure underrated classic though.
Ray Allen clone at 1:35
+Jesus Christ You mean Harry Allen?
RAP GUNS DRUGS AND MONEY
Alecs Tapia That about sums it up
Talking that "gat" talk; Walking that "cat-walk"
they don't Censor M&M Flashing the Devils Horns and one Eye ...
I love public enemy, I don't like this white vs black people "thing"
I am a white boy, and I have nothing against black people, I even think they have a good sense of rythm to music, they created JAZZ!!! we have different genes, but none of us are worse... I don't like when SOME white people are racist, and I don't like when SOME black people are always using anything we do to call us racist... sorry for my english btw...
They are talking about the racists in power tho
FUCK VEVO¡¡¡
FOR TRAYVON MARTIN...WHO THE CRIMINAL?
1 person talks that gat talk and walks that cat walk......
"Black gangstas need track coaches" lmao
