Who Stole the Soul? (Sir Jinx Stolen Souled Out Reparation mixx) Public Enemy

[Verse 1]
Once again, this is it
Turn it up, here we go
But this time the rhyme
Gonna ask who did the crime
Then let's get down to the nitty-gritty
Like I wanna know who
Picked Wilson's pocket
Fact, he rocked it
Fact, he shocked it
Same kinda thing they threw at James (Brown)
And what they did to Redd was a shame
The bigger the Blacks get
The bigger the feds want
A piece of that ... booty
Intentional Rape System, like we ain't
Paid enough in this bitch, that's why I dissed them
I learned we earned, got no concern
Instead we burned, where the hell is our return?
Plain and simple the system's a pimp
But I refuse to be a ho who stole the soul

[Verse 2]
Ain't, no, different than in South Africa
Over here they'll go after ya to steal your soul
Like over there they stole our gold
Yo, they say the Black don't know how to act (Who, me?)
Cause we're waitin' for the big payback
But we know it'll never come
That's why I say come and get some
Why when the Black move it, Jack was out
Come to stay Jack moves away
Ain't we all people?
How the hell can a color be no good for a neighborhood
Help, straighten me out
Cause my tribe gets a funny vibe
Say I'm wrong for singin' a song
Without solutions
All the dancers answer questions
And try to be the best and...
Let everybody know before I blow
For the sake of what's right
I wanna know what sucka stole the soul
