Earlier today in Broward County, appellate court
Judges upheld the previous ruling to ban the sale of Miami rap group the 2 Live Crew's double-platinum album, "Nasty As They Wanna Be," in Broward County
[Intro: Lawyer]
We think it's the banning of free speech. First Amendment protects material, presumptively
[Intro: Luke]
We don't talk about, uh, harassing and sexually brutalizing women in my music, man!
We don't do that in my music, man! I'm tired of you saying that!
[Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice]
We've got white-collar people trying to grab our style
Saying we're too nasty and we're 2 Live
Corrupted politicians playing games
Bringing us down to boost their fame
They must be joking thinking we will fall
But they're like flies movin' the wall
We stand tall from beginning to end
With the help from fans and all our friends
Freedom of speech will never die
For us to help, our ancestors died
Don't keep thinking that we will quit
We'll always stand and never sit
We're 2 Live, 2 black, 2 strong
Doing the right thing, and not the wrong
So listen up, y'all, to what we say
We won't be banned in the U-S-A!
