Who's that knockin' on my door?
What ya tryin' to bother me for?
Don't want none of what you're sellin'
I know that you're rotten to the core
So my 44 mags, about to put one in your melon
Last night one of my neighbors
Got held up for the paper
But the popos never came
They won't do you any favors
Say your prayers
So many layers
Some things will never change
Ha ha ha
This afternoon got caught up at a red light
In the line of sight
Of these motherfuckers from the other night
Seems like the right time
Pullin' out his life line
Anytime you threaten mine
Gonna be a fight, you see
See I'm numb just lookin'
For a reason for my finger
To be squeezin' on the trigger
Do another killin' season
One gun, two gun, three guns, four
So many guns keep on runnin' out the store
Pop goes the weapon
You better keep on steppin'
Pop, pop goes the weapon
Pop, pop, ha ha ha ha
Pop, pop goes the weapon
You better keep on steppin'
Pop, pop goes the weapon
Pop, pop, ha ha ha
Who's that knockin' on my door?
Who's that knockin' on my door?
Who's that knockin' on my door?
Who's that knockin' on my door?
Ha ha ha
Feelin' my soul leave my body
La dee da dee
Somebody got me
I don't even know his name
Started fightin' at a party
No karate
Hammers droppin'
But the popos never came
Lightheaded and I'm dizzy
My vision fuzzy
I get the feelin'
It's the end of the game
I'm on the television, talk of me, ask who was he
'Cause they don't love me
That's when the fuckin' popos came
Pop goes the weapon
You better keep on steppin'
Pop, pop goes the weapon
Pop, pop, ha ha ha ha
Pop, pop goes the weapon
You better keep on steppin'
Pop, pop goes the weapon
Pop, pop, ha ha ha
Yeah, pop goes the weapon
You better keep on steppin'
Pop, pop goes the weapon
Pop, pop goes the weapon
Pop goes the weapon
You better keep on steppin'
Pop, pop goes the weapon
Pop, pop, ha ha ha
Who's that knockin' on my door?
Who's that knockin' on my door?
Who's that knockin' on my door?
Who's that knockin' on my door?

Carlton Douglas Ridenhour (born August 1, 1960), known professionally as Chuck D, is a rapper, author, and producer. He is best known as the leader of the rap group Public Enemy. The group and Chuck D are known for their politically driven lyrics. What I like most about Chuck D is his booming voice and sharp lyrics. He has never been caught up in silly pop culture things. He has stuck to hip-hop and politics. Chuck D has been ranked among the best rappers' Lists(in my top 10) as an author and one of the hip-hop leaders' hop lectures on hip-hop and politics. In 2013 Public Enemy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the same year Chuck D received an honorary doctorate from Adelphi. Chuck D has worked with various artists over his career. He is currently a member of the supergroup Prophets of Rage. Chuck D is an innovative and influential rapper that has opened the door for conscious rappers.

LECTURE 20: The documentary Public Enemy: Prophets Of Rage originally aired on BBC Four in Great Britain in the fall of 2011. Here is the documentary in its entirety. It offers a compelling look at the pioneering conscious rap group Public Enemy, founded in Roosevelt on Long Island, New York, in 1985. Prophets of Rage covers the group’s origins and rise to power, focusing a lot on the two main stars of Public Enemy, Chuck D (Carlton Douglas Ridenhour) and Flavor Flav (William Jonathan Drayton Jr.). It also focuses on Chuck D dismissing Professor Griff (Richard Griffin) from the band over anti-Semitic remarks he made in 1989. The band’s later career is showcased, too, along with Flavor Flav’s hilarious foray into reality television. If you get a chance, please watch it and find out more about the remarkable history of this incredible group.
