Rage Against The Machine - Intro (Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos) Lyrics






[Intro]
[Zack:] Hey check this out right about now....
I wanna introduce a brotha...who came all the way outta here
from Long Island, New york. And he's one of the fathers of
revolutionary music in our time period. He was a huge influence
on us and we wanna bring him out right now. So check it out, we
got a man by the name of Chuck D, from Public Enemy. Yeah.
[Chuck D:] Wassup, wassup! Zack: Yo....
[x5]

[Chuck D:] "I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn - I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it, but just that very minute...
It occured to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin' in the state pen
I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I'm not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
To criticize me for some crime - never the less
They could not understand that I'm a Black man
And I could never be a veteran
On the strength, the situation's unreal
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel"

Yeah!

    This is the 1996 pinkpop gig!
    Been lookin for the whole broadcast for ages, but somehow Dutch TV fawked this one up... (on their broadcast)
    This perticular piece has NOT Bram van Splunteren talkin through beginning. Although the end is still brutally turned away... Perhaps we need to put some effort in trying to get the whole broadcast shared: Nederlands instituut voor beeld en geluid... Here we come!
