Biography:
Public Enemy, also known as P.E., is a seminal Golden Age era Hip-Hop group known for their densely layered production and politically charged lyrics demonstrating their interest in the concerns of the African American community.
PE formed in Long Island, New York, in 1982 around a WBAU radio show as Spectrum City. After one less-than-successful single, they regrouped and signed to the still developing Def Jam record label after Rick Rubin heard Chuck D freestyling on a demo.

[INTRO]
Dsus2
Here we go again, back to the roots, back to the roots
Dsus2
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[VERSE ONE]
Dsus2
Now what sound of my DJ cuts
Dsus2
Terminator's back on some ol' fools track
F
Takes a nation of sellouts to keep us back
E
Flippin disco raps used to be whack
Dsus2
Now what you hear is what you lack
Dsus2
Take a little bit of this a little bit of dat
F
Who dropped the bomb on hip hop
E
Who got Biggie and who shot Tupac
Dsus2
What's forgot, ain't no Eazy, no Scott Larock
Dsus2
Now what's rap gotta do wit what you got
F
For whom the bell tolls, is that the way the story goes
E
85% believing all the videos
Dsus2
God knows who controls the radios
Dsus2
Some people chose the road to be hoes
F
And so I rose in the middle of all the woes
E
And def jam negroes turnin up their nose
Dsus2
There's one way in no way out
Dsus2
No doubt the body count gettin headz checkin out

[VERSE TWO]
Dsus2
Outraged against the scene, proofread the script
Dsus2
Flipped it back so I'm back in gang green
F
We interrupt this routine I had a dream
E
Da clean protein smacked the gangsta lean
Dsus2
Between the triple team, wiped em out like a drought
Dsus2
Damn I'm rap's tetracycline
F
Them lips foretold these apocalypse
E
Everything had a shot and got hit wit bullshit
Dsus2
Twisted politics tricks I couldn't get wit
Dsus2
As one quits another nitwit hits
F
All the way crazy, shady
E
World turned upside down, I put it down
Dsus2
Why destroy what you love, look around
Dsus2
Surrounded by chalk marks on the ground where the lost got found
F
Why it all come tumblin down
E
Why he and she gotta die now how dat sound
[CHORUS]

Dm
Ain't that somethin, figure I smashed the pumpkin
Dm
So I parallel the brains of Cobain

Dm
Gettin mad opposition hip to the game
