Public Enemy, also known as PE, is a seminal old-school rap group known for their politically charged lyrics and their interest in the concerns of the African American community. PE formed in Long Island, New York, in 1982. They were signed to the still developing Def Jam record label after Rick Rubin heard Chuck D freestyling on a demo. It then took roughly five years before their debut, 'Yo! Bum Rush The Show', was released in 1987 to critical acclaim. 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'.

Brothers Gonna Work It Out Lyrics
Public Enemy
Shocklee - sadler - ridenhour
Uh, your bad self
Help me break this down from off the shelf
Heres a music servin you so use it
Papas got a brand new funk
Get down (party for your right)
Huh, lets get it on
Like we said before
They say the brothers causin trouble
Hate to bust their bubble
cause we rumble
From our lower level
To condition your condition
(were gonna do a song)
That you never heard before
Make you all jump along to the education
Brothers gonna work it out
And stop chasin
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Chorus
You got it...what it takes
Go get it...where you want it?
Come get it...get involved
cause the brothers in the street are willing to work it out
So many of us in limbo
How to get it on, its quite simple
3 stones from the sun
We need a piece of this rock
Our goal indestructible soul
Answers to this quizzin
To the brothers in the streetschools and the prisons
History shouldnt be a mystery
Our stories real history
Not his story
We gonna work it one day
Till we all get paid
The right way in full, no bull
Talkin, no walkin, drivin, arrivin in style
Soon youll see what Im talkin bout
cause one day
The brothers gonna work it out
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
Chorus
You got it ... what it takes
Go get it... where you want it?
Come get it...get involved
cause the brothers in the street
Are willing to work it out
Lets get it on... we are willin
Lets get it on, lets get it on ... we are willin
Lets get it on, lets get it on, lets get it on ... we are willin
Now we are ready if you are ready
In 1995, youll twist to this
As you raise your fist to the music
United we stand, yes divided we fall
Together we can stand tall
Brothers that try to work it out
They get mad, revolt, revise, realize
Theyre super bad
Small chance a smart brothers
Gonna be a victim of his own circumstance
Sabotaged, shellshocked, rocked and ruled
Day in the life of a fool
Like I said before to live it low
Life take you time, time yo go slow
Look here, not a thing to fear
Brother to brother not another as sincere
Teach a man how to be father
To never tell a woman he cant bother
You cant say you dont know
What Im talkin bout
But one day ... brothers gonna work it out
You got it ... what it takes
Go get it ... where you want it?
Come get it ... get involved
cause the brothers in the street
Are willing to work it out
Lets get it on... we are willin
Lets get it on, lets get it on ... we are willin
Lets get it on, lets get it on, lets get it on ... we are willin
Now we are ready if you are ready
