Hazy Shade Of Criminal Public Enemy

[Intro]
"But he like so many other White leaders appears to have missed the point"
"Once the riot started, it went like a forest fire. It started in a lot of different places at pretty much the same time"

[Intro: Chuck D]
Five hundred FBI agents comin' after us with a license to kill
Thirty mil, claimin' it's just a drug bust

[Ad-lib]
They thinkin' they making a fly switch
Replace the devil for a witch, dirty *****

[Chorus]
Reach uppity reach gotta reach
Power to the people and the beats
(Oh yes)

[Verse 1]
Some people accuse some people of crimes
Some people get away with losin' my rhyme (Uh!)
They don't like where I'm comin' from, so they play dumb
Dumb-diggety-dumb-diggety-dumb
But I'm tellin' you what they do, everybody plays a fool
While the real thief cools in a pool (Yeah!)
He who got the finger on the war button
Talkin' loud and sayin' nothin'
TV got 'em bigger than life
(Oh yes) All he needs is a knife
Who the criminal?
