Evil Ways Songtext
von Public Enemy

Lawlessness
Badlands
Uncivilized
You′s a bad man
But even the baddest
Savages
Eventually get
Humbled by the averages


D- D- D- D- Donkey of the day
You's an ass with no pass (Free at last)
Addicted to the screens (Tell ′em what you mean)
Screaming for the laughs (Ha Ha Ha!)
What I got to do with you being you?
River deep, mountain high, like the best of your crew
Leader of the pack
That don't give a track
About nobody praying
In a whirl they be playing
Why swell your ego to think you gonna get away with crime?
Cameras is everywhеre dawg
This ain't 1985 (Let ′em know Chuck, lеt′s go!)

You got to change your evil way
No gangster, it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y′all to know
Change your evil way

What goes up comes back down
Gravity got a way to bring down clowns
Stumbling on the face, tumbled down a staircase
Evil is a terrible waste
Let's go — download this mother for ya
We the roll, baby
Millennial wild, crack-rugged grandchild
Bone-chillin′ killers, movie-made matinee thriller
Gun, gun, gun, homie homicide, take a ride
Run, run, run — yo, you cannot hide
From your folly, hello Dolly
Unless you get a pardon
Abide by a law you and I never saw
Let these gangsters out the door


You got to change your evil way
No gangster, it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y′all to know
Change your evil way

Lawlessness
Badlands
Uncivilized
You's a bad man
But even the baddest
Savages
Eventually get
Humbled by the averages

Gots the nerve of a red pickup
Truckin' mother
Son of a badass Magger
Hunting down in Badlands
Woke up mad in the mirror
With a bad attitude
Ugly is under that face, my dude
Everything ain′t funny
You′s another slave to the money
Hunted down like a dog now
You're a slave to the runnin′ (Kick it, Chuck!)

You got to change your evil way
No gangsters, it ain't the way I wanna go
You gots to change these strangers
A better way I want y′all to know
Change your evil way

Change your evil ways
Public Enemy 2025
You got to change, strangers
