Public Enemy – Hitler Day Lyrics

Album: Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age

[Intro]
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 takeover
A discovery

Mass murderer
This side of the planet
Most people take it for granted
502 and still doin
Give a reason I'm hatin'
October celebratin
The dead

Of the black the brown and red
Sick an tired
Of bein sick n' tired
Dont jump to conclusions
Before I clear the confusion
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I'm talkin bout' Columbus

Hit me one

I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler day
I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler day (crazy)
I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler day
I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler day (crazy)

Hangin heads and snappin necks
Splittin up kin
Makin' familys wrecked
Turned this planet to a sewer
Provin' to all just a lil grab
Will do ya'
Or do us
So my disgust
Got credit from the ones that
Read it
Ain't blind to the fact
Of a whack headline
And if you didn't, pay the paper
No mind

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
(That's how you feel)
That's how I feel
Yo' shit is mad real

I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler day
I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler day (crazy)

My, my, my, my, celebrate my
As all days go by

Some thanks for the givin
When times are hard
And some got the nerve to pray to God
Ain't about turkey
And cider that gets me sick
It's that take from the indian trick
Lookin pretty grim
When they takin da pill
From the sucker seekin somethin to kill
Now he got a day to celebrate
Ain't that a trip
Cause the indians ain't got shit

Let em know, let em know
I don't hate nobody
Let em know, let em know
I don't hate nobody
Let em know, let em know
I don't hate nobody
Let em know

May 31st when it comin it hurts
Remember the dead and it makes me curse
When they dont 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 gone

Fourth of July a god damn lie
When did we ever
Get a piece of the pie
Gotta whole day comin'
Without no pay
Cause a job
Can't gimme no play
Even had enuff I huff & puff
At brothers sellin the stuff
Takin in washingtons
Lincolns
Not they birthdays
Payback for em makin us slaves

And that is real
(That's how you feel)
And that is real
(That's how you feel)
And that is real
(That's how you feel)
And that is real
Shit is mad real

I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler Day
I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler Day (crazy)
I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler Day
I don't hate nobody
But this day's as crazy as
Hitler Day (crazy)

I don't hate nobody
I don't hate nobody
I don't hate nobody
I don't hate nobody

[Outro]
We don't hate nobody because of their color
We hate oppression
