She Watch Channel Zero?! Lyrics

[Flavor Flav]
Yo, baby, can't you see that's nonsense you watching?
Look, don't nobody look like that, nobody even live that, you know what I'm saying?
You watching garbage, nothing but garbage, straight up garbage
Yo, why don't you just back up from the TV, read a book or something?
Read about yourself, learn your culture, you know what I'm saying?
Yo, let me tell you a little something

[Repeat intro]
You're blind, baby
You're blind from the facts on who you are
'Cause you're watching that garbage

...
You're blind, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In this update of Gil Scott-Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” Chuck and Flav warn against the dangers of watching too many soap operas and becoming brainwashed by their imaginary world. Samples “Angel of Death” by Slayer (released on Def Jam a couple of years earlier).

Somewhat ironically, Flavor Flav went on to ‘star’ in several reality TV shows.

Black Rock Coalition members Follow For Now covered this song…fitting, since their band’s name comes from another Public Enemy song (“Bring The Noise”).
