ENEMY PUBLIC - FIRST THE SHEEP NEXT THE SHEPHERD Lyrics

First the sheep next the shepherd

Chuck¹s run amok multiplying like leopards

Spots em up the long bombs a record

A long shot / 3 minutes 15 seconds

If i was cloned never would i be alone

Just the two of us mutherfuck the lexus

Strange fruit be hangin in texas

Rope be holdin the necks

Poison politics affects us

Get my flow on a show of flexes

Got too much love above

For the battle of the sexes

Now i won¹t go as far as romancin myself

Or dancin with wolves or runnin wit the bulls

Shit i be in two places at one time

Split spaces wit one rhyme

Get 3 nickels outta one dime



First the sheep next the shepherd



Fill generation gaps wit mad raps

Get slapped

Give four smacks the hell on back

Be the father son and the holy ghost

As i represent both the east and the west coasts

Whatever that¹s worth 360

The planet earth that¹s the whole black man¹s turf

Now i be the rational national

Ever present international

Spy wit the third eye against the conquer and divide

Now wit three of me i can run a country

Make apocalypse quit do mad shit on the side

I go on wit my bad self if i had four of myself

I would sacrifice two to get that slave outta you

In my eyes be the anger of the furious five

Flashbacks cut across psycho tracks

Been there done that and i swung a big bat

Like that there it is i be the startin six pack



First the sheep next the shepherd



The east to the west south to the north

The music might switch the rhymes never fall off

Non alcoholic avoiding the bomb

In abortion clinics i be the hero up in it

Jack the cracker dat did it

Now the magnificent 7

Hip hop gangsta rappin

Holdin it down makin it happen

From oakland to manhattan

If i was eight / i be damn great

City to city / state to state

Won¹t never be too much on my plate

Flow like watergate

Wit nine of mine

I¹d get piece of mine

Again and again

Wit that power of ten men

Duplicated by the split

Of one mean gene an shit

Back to the lab

Wit them scientific crabs, what next?
