Thin Line Between Law & Rape - Public Enemy

Ya took me from a place Where the race didn’t matter

And gathered up bodies Without a choice So I rather

Pass my opinion back Run ya over

With my rack an pinion Never stop the engine

For watcha fathers did do the indian

North & south America Plus the Carribbean

I got a vendetta Cause I know better

Better come right Better black than a stereotype white

No cash flow wit out work

I’m talkin about the past You busted our ass

Now you afraid cause I never got paid

Now sucka jump

No You can’t take whatcha want

You can’t take whatcha want

Cause ya took whatcha want

Can’t get away cause we got it on tape

You can’t take whatcha want

Cause ya took whatcha want

Thin line between law & rape (scream)

You can’t take whatcha want Dont cha know

We ain’t got nuttin left Cause you took the rest

We ain’t got jazz rock n' roll rappin the lose

Wit a few fat ladies left singing the blues

Go abracadabra to make a wish I can mess with

Wonder why I’m underneath a crew I can’t get with

I never knew land was an acquisition

BS from the best man in position

And come again with it and get hit like a punk

No, you can’t take whatcha want

Break

You can’t take whatcha want

I open up the trunk

I see your phony ass

Try to counterfeit funk

From land to land

To sea to sea

Allover got the other man

Messin wit me

Took the motherland

Made a slave out of my mother and man

Got a good man

Sayin goddamn

And to hell with

Back in the days

Unless we go way back

To the black ways

Always

Watch your back

If ya crooked dont front

You can’t take whatcha want

We died on the line

We walk the fine line he talked a good line
