Intro

A yo Ice man. I'm working on this
term paper for college. What's the
First
Amendment?

Verse 1

Freedom of
Speech that's some motherfuckin' bullshit
You
say the wrong thing they'll lock your ass up
quick
The FCC says "Profanity No
Airplay"?
They can suck my dick while I take a
shit all day
Think I give a fuck about some
silly bitch named Gore?
Yo PMRC here we go
raw
Yo Tip, what's the matter? You ain't
gettin' no dick?
You're bitchin' about
rock'n'roll, that's censorship, dumb bitch
The
Constitution says we all got a right to
speak
Say what we want Tip, your argument is
weak
Censor records, TV, school books
too
And who decides what's right to hear?
You?
Hey PMRC, you stupid fuckin'
assholes
The sticker on the record is what
makes 'em sell gold
Can't you see, you
alcoholic idiots
The more you try to suppress
us, the larger we get

Verse 2

[You
have the right to remain silent]
Fuck that
right! I want the right to talk
I want the
right to speak, I want the right to walk
Where
I wanna, yell and I'm gonna
Tell and rebel
every time I'm on a
Microphone on the stage
cold illin'
The knowledge I drop will be heard
by millions
We ain't the problems, we ain't the
villains
It's the suckers deprivin' the truth
from our children
You can't hide the fact,
Jack
There's violence in the streets every
day, any fool can recognise that
But you try
to lie and lie
And say America's some
motherfuckin' apple pie
Yo, you gotta be high
to believe that
You're gonna change the world
by a sticker on a record sleeve
Cos once you
take away my right to speak
Everybody in the
world's up shit creek

Verse 3

Let
me tell you about down south
Where a
motherfucker might as well not even have a
mouth
Columbus, Georgia, said they'd lock me
up
If I got on the stage in my show and said
"Fuck"
So I thought for a minute and said
"No,
I wasn't even gonna do a damned
show"
Cos for me to change my words from my
rhymes
Is never gonna happen cos there's no
sell outs on mine
But I vowed to get those
motherfuckers one day
They even arrested Bobby
Brown and Cool J
Yo, they got their's comin',
cos I'm mad and I'm gunnin'
Homeboys, and
there's no runnin'
I'm gonna tell you how I
feel about you
No bull, no lies, no slack,
just straight fact
Columbus, Georgia, you can
suck my dick
You ain't nothin' but a piece of
fuckin' shit on the damned map

Verse
4

Freedom of Speech, let 'em take it from
me
Next they'll take it from you, then what
you gonna do?
Let 'em censor books, let 'em
censor art
PMRC, this is where the witch hunt
starts
You'll censor what we see, we read, we
hear, we learn
The books will burn
You
better think it out
We should be able to say
anything, our lungs were meant to shout
Say
what we feel, yell out what's real
Even though
it may not bring mass appeal
Your opinion is
yours, my opinion is mine
If you don't like
what I'm sayin'? Fine
But don't close it,
always keep an open mind
A man who fails to
listen is blind
We only got one right left in
the world today
Let me have it or throw The
Constitution away

Outro (Jello
Biafra)

What they're trying to do with
radio, with this, uh, McCarron-Walter
Act and
a lot of other ways, is start by saying that
they're
protecting the public from wicked rock
bands, or girlie magazines, or
whatever. But,
if you follow the chain of dominoes that falls
down,
what they're really trying to do is shut
off our access to information
itself.

If
they can't do it by law they know there's other
ways to do it.
