Public Enemy - Burn Hollywood Burn lyrics

Your rating:

CHUCK D:
 Burn Hollywood burn I smell a riot
 Goin' on first htey're guilty now they're gone
 Yeah I'll check out a movie
 But it'll take a Black one to move me
 Get me the hell away from this TV
 All this news and views are beneath me
 Cause all I hear about is shots ringin' out
 So I rather kick some slang out
 All right fellas let's go hand out
 Hollywood or would they not
 Make us all look bad like I know they had
 But some things I'll never forget yeah
 So step and fetch this shit
 For all the years we looked like clowns
 The joke is over smell the smoke from all around
 Burn Hollywood burn

 ICE CUBE:

 Ice Cube is down with the PE
 Now every single bitch wanna see me
 Big Daddy is smooth word to muther
 Let's check out a flick that exploits the color
 Roamin' thru Hollywood late at night
 Red and blue lights what a common sight
 Pulled to the curb gettin' played like a sucker
 Don't fight the power ... the mother fucker

 BIG DADDY KANE:

 As I walk the streets of Hollywood Boulevard
 Thinin' how hard it was to those that starred
 In the movies portrayin' the roles
 Of butlers and maids slaves and hoes
 Many intelligent Black men seemed to look uncivilized
 When on the screen
 Like a guess I figure you to play some jigaboo
 On the plantation, what else can a nigger do
 And Black women in this profession
 As for playin' a lawyer, out of the question
 For what they play Aunt Jemima is the perfect term
 Even if now she got a perm
 So let's make our own movies like Spike Lee
 Cause the roles being offered don't strike me
 There's nothing that the Black man could use to earn
 Burn Hollywood burn
