Night Of The Living Baseheads - Public Enemy

Here it is, bam

And you say «Goddamn, this is the dope jam»

But let’s define the term called dope

And you think it mean funky now, no

Here is a true tale

Of the ones that deal are the ones that fail (Yeah!)

Yeah, you can move if you wanna move

What it prove?

It’s here like the groove

The problem is this, we gotta' fix it

Check out the justice, and how they run it

Selling, smelling, sniffing, riffing

And brothers try to get swift and

Sell their own, rob a home

While some shrivel to bone

Like comatose walking around

Please don’t confuse this with the sound

I’m talking about

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba»

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba» (Yeah)

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

«One, two, three, four, five, six»

«Kick it!»

«Years ago»

I put this together to (rock) the bells of those that boost the dose

Of lack a lack, and those that sell to Black

Shame on a brother when he dealin'

The same block where my 98 be wheelin'

And everybody know, another kilo

From a corner from a brother to keep another below

Stop illin' and killing, stop grillin'

Yo, Black, yo (We are willing!)

Four, five o’clock in the mornin'

Wait a minute y’all, the fiends are fiendin'

Day to day, to day, they say no other way (Way, no way)

This stuff is really bad (Fee-fi-fo)

I’m talking 'bout

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-»

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba»

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba»

«Bass!»

«Hold, hold it!

Listen»

«We gon' get on down, now!»

«How-how-how-how-how-how-how-how-

How low can you go?»

«How-how-how-how-how-how-how

How low can you go?»

«How-how-how-how-how-how

How low can you go?»

«How-how-how-how

How-low-low-low

How low can you go?»

(Yo!)

(Listen!) I see it on their faces

(First come, first serve basis)

Standing on line, checking the time, homeboys playing the curb

The same ones that used to do herb (Yo, Herb!)

Now they’re gone, passing it on

Poison attack — the Black word bond (Word, word)

My man Daddy-O once said to me

He knew a brother who stayed all day in his Jeep

And at night he went to sleep

And in the morning, all he had was the sneakers on his feet

The culprit used to jam and rock the mike

Yo, he stripped the Jeep to fill his pipe

And wander around to find a place

Where they rocked to a different kind of

Come on, y’all!

«Hold it now!

Wait!»

«Wait it!

Wait!»

«Yo, run it, Black!»

Succotash is a method for kids to make cash

Selling drugs to the brother man instead of the other man

(Brothers and sisters!)

I’m talkin' 'bout

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-»

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-

«Bass!

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-»

«Bass!»
