KNOW YOUR ENEMY Born with insight and a raised fist A witness to the slit wrist As we move into '92 Still in a room without a view Ya got to know Ya got to know That when I say go, go, go Amp up and amplify Defy I'm a brother with a furious mind Action must be taken We don't need the key We'll break in Something must be done About vengence, a badge and a gun 'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system I was born to rage against 'em Fist in ya face, in the place And I'll drop the style clearly Know your enemy Word is born Fight the war, fuck the norm Now I got no patience So sick of complacence With the D E F I A N C E The mind of a revolutionary So clear the lane The finger to the land of chains What? The land of the free? Whever told you that is your enemy Something must be done About vengence, a badge, and a gun 'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system I was born to rage agaisnt 'em Now action must be taken We don't need no key We'll break in I've got no patience now So sick of complacence now I've got no patience now So sick of complacence now Sick of sick of sick of sick of sick of you Time has come to pay Yes I know my enemies They're the teachers who taught me to fight me Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission, Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite All of which are American dreams
