Hitler Day Lyrics


500 years ago one man claimed
To have discovered a new world
Five centuries later we the people
Are forced to celebrate a black Holocaust
How can you call a take over a discoveryMass murderer this side of the planet
Most people take it for granted 502 and still doin'
Give a reason I'm hatin' October celebration the dead
Of the black the brown and red sick and tired of being sick and tired
Don't jump to conclusions before I clear the confusion
Ashes to ashes dust to dust I'm talkin' bout Columbus hit me oneI don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler day
I don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler dayI don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler day
I don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler dayHangin' heads and snappin' necks
Was splittin' up kin like a familys wrecked
I turned this planet to a sewer provin' to all just a lil' grab will do ya

Or do us so my disgust I got credit from the ones that read it
Ain't blind to the fact of a whack headline
And if you didn't I pay no mind that's how I feelThat's how you feel
That's how I feel
That's how you feel
That's how I feel
That's how you feel
That's how I feel
Your shit iz mad realI don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler day
I don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler dayMy, my, my, my celebrate my
As all days go bySome thanks for the givin' when times are hard
And some got the nerve to pray to God
And ain't about that Turkey and that gets me sick
It's that take from the Indian trick
A lookin' pretty grim when they takin' da pill
And from the same old sucker seekin' somethin' to kill
And now he got a day to celebrate ain't that a trip
'Cause the Indians ain't got shitI don't hate nobody, I don't hate nobody
I don't hate nobody, I don't hate nobodyMay 31st when it comin' it hurts
Remember the dead and it makes me curse
And when they don't include 100 million of us black folks
That died in the bottom of boats
I can carry on 'bout the killin' till dusk and dawn
And war ain't the reason they gone4th of July God damn lie when did we ever get a piece of the pie
I gotta whole day comin' comin' without no pay
'Cause a job they ain't gimme no play
Enuff I huff and puff and my own brothers even sellin' the stuff
I takin' in Washington, Lincolns and not they birthdays
Payback for 'em makin' us slavesIsn't that is real
That's how you feel
Isn't that is real
That's how you feel
Isn't that is real
That's how you feel
Isn't that is real
Shouldn't that feelI don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler day
I don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler dayI don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler day
I don't hate nobody
But these days is crazy as Hitler dayI don't hate nobody, I don't hate nobody
I don't hate nobody, I don't hate nobody

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. Their debut, ‘Yo! Bum Rush The Show’, was released in 1987 to mild critical acclaim, although the Hip-Hop climate changed dramatically due to sampling during the time of release. As a response, they went on to release the revolutionary ‘It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back’ in 1988, which performed better in the charts than their previous release, and included the hit single ‘Don’t Believe the Hype’.

Slightly less militant than their previous releases Public Enemy’s, ‘Fear Of A Black Planet’ was officially recognised as being the most successful and influential of the Public Enemy recordings when, in 2004, it became one of 50 recordings, chosen that year by the Library of Congress, to be added to the National Recording Registry. Sales-wise it was the most successful of any of their albums to date. It included the powerful and controversial singles ‘911 is a Joke’ (which criticized emergency response units for taking longer to arrive at emergencies in the black community than those in the white community), and ‘Fight the Power’, which is considered by many to be the group’s premier self-describing anthem. The song is considered to be amongst the most popular and influential in Hip Hop history and was the theme song for Spike Lee’s landmark film ‘Do The Right Thing’.

Public Enemy are to be considered musical pioneers for a broad variety of reasons. For instance, Terminator X elevated DJing to a refined art. Some of his most innovative scratching tricks can be heard on the track ‘Rebel Without A Pause’. PE’s production team, ‘The Bomb Squad’, offered up a web of innovative samples and beats; critic Steven Thomas Earlewine declared that PE “brought in elements of free jazz, hard funk, even musique concrète, via their [production] team, the Bomb Squad, creating a dense, ferocious sound unlike anything that came before.”

PE revolutionized the rap world with their political, social and cultural consciousness. These themes became infused into skilled and poetic rhymes with jazzy backbeats. They are recognised as the first Hip Hop group to make extended world tours, leading to huge popularity and influence within the Hip Hop communities of Europe and Asia. They also changed the internet’s music distribution capability by being the first group to release MP3 albums, a format virtually unknown at the time.

Public Enemy, in keeping with their ‘pioneer’ status, also helped to form and define the so-called ‘crossover’ genre of music (heavy rock music spliced with hip hop) by collaborating with New York thrash metal outfit Anthrax in 1991. The single ‘Bring The Noise’ was a remarkable potpourri of semi-militant pro-black lyrics, grinding guitars and sporadic humour. The two bands, cemented by a mutual respect, and the personal friendship between Chuck D and his Anthrax counterpart Scott Ian, introduced a hitherto alien genre to rock fans.

During the seemingly unlikely tour of Anthrax and Public Enemy, Flavor Flav made his famous pronouncement onstage that “They said this tour would never happen” (heard on Anthrax’s Live: The Island Years CD). This has become something of legendary significance in both rock and rap circles. There is some justification for the theory that without this unlikely musical partnership, bands such as Rage Against The Machine and Linkin Park would not have existed, and the genres of rap rock, nu metal and their related offshoots might have never developed.
