Hell No (We Ain't Alright) [Paris Remix]

Does it gotta come down to this
In order to see things for what they are and what it is
We still might not be free up in this piece
Or treated very equally as far as I can see
Hell no we ain't alright!

Now all these press conferences, breaking news alert (this just in)
While your government looks for a war to win
Flames for the blame game, names where I begin
Walls closin' and get some help to my kin
(Who cares?) While the rest of the Bush nation stares
As the drama unfolds, as we the people under the stairs
Fifty percent of this "Son of a Bush" nation
Is like, hatin' on Haiti and settin' up assassinations
Ask Pat Robertson, quiz him (mm, smells like terrorism)
Racism in the news, still one-sided views
Sayin' whites find food
Pray for the National Guard who be ready to shoot
Because they be sayin' us blacks loot
(What is your boy "Son of a Bush" doin?) [laughing]
(nothin'!)

[Chorus: x3]
New Orleans in the mornin' afternoon and night
Hell naw! (hell naw) We ain't alright

New Orleans in the mornin' afternoon and night
Hell naw! "Damn, damn!"

Now them fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, I don't mean to scare
Wasn't this written somewhere?
Disgrace is all I be seein' is hurtin' black faces
Moved out to all them far away places
(Emergency) state, corpses alligators and snakes
Big difference between this haze and (the little diamonds on the VMA's)
You better look what's really important
Y'all under the sun, especially if you over 21
This ain't no TV show, ain't no video (this is really real!)
Beyond them same ol' keep it real
Quotes from them TV stars, drivin' big rim cars (streets keep floodin' B)
No matter where you at no gas, driving is a luxury (urgency)
Don't y'all know? They said it's a state of emergency
Show somebody's government is far from reality
(Aye yo check one two!)

[Chorus: x4]

And they don't have a clue of what's going on down there
I'm like you've gotta be kidding me, this is a NATIONAL disaster
It's awful down here man
God is lookin' down on all this
And if they are not doin' everything in their power to save people
They are gonna pay the price

Now I see we be the new faces of refugees, who ain't even overseas
But stuck here on our knees
Forget the plasma TV, ain't no electricity
New world's upside down and out of order
Shelter, food, what's up yo? (Where's the water?)
No answers from disaster, them masses be hurtin'
So who the fuck they call, Halliburton?!
"Son of a Bush" how you gonna just trust that cat
To fix shit when all that help is stuck in Iraq?
Makin' war plans takin' more stands in Afghanistan
Two thousands soldiers there dyin' in the sand
But that's over there, right? What's over here?
It's a noise so loud some of y'all can't hear
But on TV I know that I can see
Bunches of people, lookin' just like me

New Orleans in the mornin' afternoon and night
Hell naw! (hell naw) We ain't alright

Mississippi in the mornin afternoon and night
Hell naw! (hell naw) We ain't alright

Alabama in the mornin afternoon and night
Hell naw! (hell naw) We ain't alright

U.S.A. in the mornin afternoon and night
Hell naw! (hell naw) We ain't alright

We definitely ain't alright
And some of y'all voted for that cat! "Son of a Bush"
That's right, what God giveth sometimes your country taketh away
Yeah, one love, comin' from Public Enemy, #1 y'all
Public Enemy, 2006 (yeah)
Public Enemy 2007, all gettin' together now

Let me tell y'all somethin'
All of our hearts is out there with y'all, you know what I'm sayin'?
And we sendin' trucks, we sendin' boats
Boxes of cans of soup and everything
Clothes and all of that, shoes
We donating everything to y'all, you know what I'm sayin'?
Don't worry, y'all ain't by yourself
You need to know that
