[Hook]

Don't don't don't don't

Don't don't don't

Now here's what I want you all to do for me

[Verse 1]

Back caught you lookin' for the same thing

It's a new thing-check out this I bring

Uhh oh the roll below the level cause I'm livin' low

Next to the bass c'mon turn up the radio

They claim that I'm a criminal

By now I wonder how some people never know

The enemy could be their friend guardian

I'm not a hooligan I rock the party and clear all the madness

I'm not a racist preach to teach to all

Cause some they never had this

Number one you're wonderin' about the gun

I wasn't licensed to have one

The minute they see me fear me

I'm the epitome -- a public enemy

Used abused without clues

I refused to blow a fuse

They even had it on the news

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

"Yes" was the start of my last jam

So here it is again another def jam

But since I gave you all a little something

That we knew you lacked they still consider me a new jack

All the critics you can hang 'em I'll hold the rope

But they hope to the Pope and pray it ain't dope

The follower of Farrakhan

Don't tell me that you understand until you hear the man

The book of the new school rap game

Writers treat me like Coltrane insane

Yes to them but to me I'm a different kind

We're brothers of the same mind unblind

Caught in the middle and not surrendering

I don't rhyme for the sake of of riddling

Some claim that I'm a smuggler

Some say I never heard of ya a rap burglar false media

We don't need it do we?

[Flavor: It's fake that's what it be to ya dig me?

Yo Terminator X step up on the stand

And show these people what time it is boy]

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Don't believe the hype -- it's a sequel

As an equal can I get this through to you

My 98's booming with a trunk of funk

All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk

Coming from the school of hard knocks

Some perpetrate they drink Clorox

Attack the Black because I know they lack exact

The cold facts and still they try to Xerox

The leader of the new school uncool

Never played the fool just made the rules

Remember there's a need to get alarmed

Again I said I was a time bomb

In the daytime radio's scared of me

Cause I'm mad plus I'm the enemy

They can't c'mon and play me in prime time

Cause I know the time plus I'm getting mine

I get on the mix late in the night

They know I'm living right so here go the mike sike

Before I let it go don't rush my show

You try to reach and grab and get elbowed

Word to Herb yo if you can't swing this

Learn the words you might sing this

Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you

As you get up and dance at the LQ

When some deny it defy it I swing bolos

And then they clear the lane I go solo

The meaning of all of that some media is the whack

As you believe it's true

It blows me through the roof

Suckers liars get me a shovel

Some writers I know are damn devils

For them I say don't believe the hype

[Flavor: Yo Chuck they must be on the pipe right?]

Their pens and pads I'll snatch cause I've had it

I'm not a addict fiending for static

I'll see their tape recorder and I grab it

[Flavor: No you can't have it back silly rabbit]

I'm going to my media assassin Harry Allen -- I gotta ask him

[Flavor: Yo Harry you're a writer are we that type?]

[Harry Allen: Don't believe the hype]

[Hook]

[Verse 4]

I got Flavor and all those things you know

[Flavor:] Yeah boy part two bum rush and show

Yo Griff get the green black red and

Gold down countdown to Armageddon

'88 you wait the S1's will

Put the left in effect and I still will

Rock the hard jams treat it like a seminar

Reach the bourgeois and rock the boulevard

Some say I'm negative but they're not positive

But what I got to give [Flavor: the media says this?]

[Outro]

Red black and green you know what I mean

[Flavor: The media says this yo don't believe the hype

They got to be beating that pipe you know what I'm saying

Yo the Megas got 'em going up to see Captain Kirk

Like a jerk and they outta work let me tell you a little something man

A lot of people on daytime radio scared of us

Because they too ignorant to understand the lyrics of the

Truth that we pumping into their clogged up brain cells

That just spun their little wooden skulls they call caps

You know what I'm saying? But the S1'sll straighten it out

Quick fast in a hurry don't worry Flavor vision ain't blurry

You know what I'm saying? Yo Terminator X]
