You're Gonna Get Yours Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Ooh chuck, they outta get us man
Yo, we gotta dust these boys offIn this corner with the 98
Subject of suckers object of hate
Who's the one some think is great
I'm that one, son of a gun
Drivin' by, wavin' my fist
Makin' 'em mad when I'm goin' like this
Top gun, never on the run
They know not to come 'cause they all get someGoin' quicker in the speedin' lane
Jealous can't do it and it's causin' them pain

Caught in my smoke, all they did was choke
Look at my spokes, you know I'm no joke
Out that window, middle finger for all
Jealous at my ride, stereo and black walls
Suckers they got the nerve and gall
To talk 'bout the car when they're walkin' tallSuckers to tha side I know you hate my 98
You gonna get yours
Suckers to tha side I know you hate my 98
You gonna get yoursPullin' away every day leavin' you in the dust
So you know I get paid on the mile ego trip
And 5-O tailin' on my tip
Watch me burn rubber fall in my flame
This episode is always the same
Seein' no comp comin' like I'm blind
All left back trailin' my behindI go faster cops try to shoot me
They'll get theirs when they try to get me
I'll let it go, my turbo
Run, I'm in the river 'cause they're movin' too slow
Laughin' hard at their attempt
So what if the judge charged me contempt
I'd run my boomerang 'cause I'm feelin' proud
An' I wouldn't even hear them cause my radio's loudSuckers to tha side I know you hate my 98
You gonna get yours
Suckers to tha side I know you hate my 98
You gonna get yoursCruisin' down the boulevard
I treated like some superstar
You know the time so don't look hard
Get with it, the ultimate homeboy car
All you suckers in the other ride
Wherever I'm comin' get you my side
My 98 is tough to chase
If you're on my tail better watch your faceSmoke is comin' when I burn
Rubber when my wheels turn
A tinted window so super bad
Lookin' like the car the green hornet had
It's the reason I'm ahead of the pack
It's the reason I left them back
It's the reason all the people say
My 98 - O blows 'em all awayMy 98 Oldsmobile is
My 98 Oldsmobile's so
My 98 Oldsmobile is
My 98 Oldsmobile's likeSuckers to tha side I know you hate my 98
You gonna get yours
Suckers to tha side I know you hate my 98
You gonna get yoursUnderstand, I don't drive drunk
My 98's fly, I don't drive no junk
No cop gotta a right to call me a punk
Take this ticket go to hell and stick it
Put me on a kick butt line up, times up
This government needs a tune up
I don't know what's happenin' what's up?
Gun in my chest, I'm under arrestSidewalk suckers wanted to spill me
So I got my crew and posse
Took their girls and got them to thrill me
Stepped outside, got in my ride
Drove them around an' I looked around town
Caught 'em out there cold ran 'em over and down
They didn't get me and that's the truth
'Cause the 98-O is bullet proofMy 98 Oldsmobile's so
My 98 Oldsmobile is
My 98 Oldsmobile's so
My 98 Oldsmobile's like

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.
