black steel in the hour of chaos - sepultura lyrics

“black steel in the hour of chaos”
(originally by public enemy)

i got a letter from the government
the other day
i opened and read it
it said they were suckers
they wanted me for their army or whatever
picture me given’ a d-mn i said never
here is a land that never gave a d-mn
about a brother like me and myself
because they never did
i wasn’t wit’ it but just that very minute…
it occurred to me
the suckers had authority
cold sweatin’ as i dwell in my cell
how long has it been?
they got me sittin’ in the state pen
i gotta get out – but that thought was thought before
i contemplated a plan on the cell floor
i’m not a fugitive on the run
but a brother like me begun – to be another one
public enemy servin’ time – they drew the line y’all
to criticize me some crime – never the less
they could not understand that i’m a black man
and i could never be a veteran
on the strength, the situation’s unreal
i got a raw deal, so i’m goin’ for the steel

they got me rottin’ in the time that i’m servin’
tellin’ you what happened the same time they’re throwin’
4 of us packed in a cell like slaves – oh well
the same motherf-cker got us livin’ is his h-ll
you have to realize – what its a form of slavery
organized under a swarm of devils
straight up – word’em up on the level
the reasons are several, most of them federal
here is my plan anyway and i say
i got gusto, but only some i can trust – yo
some do a bid from 1 to 10
and i never did, and plus i never been
i’m on a tier where no tears should ever fall
cell block and locked – i never clock it y’all
’cause time and time again time
they got me servin’ to those and to them
i’m not a citizen
but ever when i catch a c-o
sleepin’ on the job – my plan is on go-ahead
on the strength, i’m tell you the deal
i got nothin’ to lose
’cause i’m goin’ for the steel

you know i caught a c-o
fallin’ asleep on death row
i grabbed his gun – then he did what i said so
and everyman’s got served
along with the time they served
decency was deserved
to understand my demands
i gave a warnin’ – i wanted the governor, y’all
and plus the warden to know
that i was innocent –
because i’m militant
posing a threat, you bet it’s f-ckin’ up the government
my plan said i had to get out and break north
just like with oliver’s neck
i had to get off – my boys had the feds in check
they couldn’t do nuthin’
we had a force to instigate a prison riot
this is what it takes for peace
so i just took the piece
black for black inside time to cut the leash
freedom to get out – to the ghetto – no sell out
6 c-os we got we ought to put their head out
but i’ll give ’em a chance, cause i’m civilized
as for the rest of the world, they can’t realize
a cell is h-ll – i’m a rebel so i rebel
between bars, got me thinkin’ like an animal
got a woman c-o to call me a copter
she tried to get away, and i popped her
twice, right
now who wanna get nice?
i had 6 c-os, now it’s 5 to go
and i’m serious – call me delirious
but i’m still a captive
i gotta rap this
time to break as time grows intense
i got the steel in my right hand
now i’m lookin’ for the fence

i ventured into the courtyard
followed by 52 brothers
bruised, battered, and scarred but hard
goin’ out with a bang
ready to bang out
but power from the sky
and from the tower shots rang out
a high number of dose – yes
and some came close
figure i trigger my steel
stand and hold my post
this is what i mean – an anti-n-gg-r machine
if i come out alive and then they won’t – come clean
and then i threw up my steel bullets – flew up
blew up, who shot…
what, who, the bazooka was who
and to my rescue, it was the s1ws
secured my getaway, so i just gotaway
the joint broke, from the black smoke
then they saw it was rougher than the average bluffer
’cause the steel was black, the att-tude exact
now the chase is on tellin’ you to c’mon
53 brothers on the run, and we are gone
