  Klassiker von 1990
  2 Live Crew – Banned in the U.S.A. (Live)

  Wer parallelen zu heute finde, der darf sie weiterverbreiten – or what ever.

  But hey – hold on, hold on – wait a second……

  Lyrics (verlustfrei endverbraucht kopiert mit dem pösen Internet):

  Government of the people
  For the people
  By the people

  News reporter:
  Earlier today in Broward County, appalling court
  judges upheld the previous ruling to ban the sale of Miami rap group the 2 Live Crew’s double-platinum album, »Nasty As They Wanna Be,« in Broward County.

  »We think it’s the banning of free speech. First Amendment protects material, resultably.«

  Luke (being interviewed):
  »We don’t talk about, uh, harrassing and sexually brutalizing women in my music, man!«
  »We don’t do that in my music, man! I‹m tired of you saying that!«

  Verse 1: Fresh Kid Ice
  We‹ve got white-collar people trying to grab our style Saying we‹re too nasty and we‹re 2 Live
  Corrupted politicians playing games
  Bringing us down to boost their fame
  They must be joking thinking we will fall
  But they‹re like flies movin‹ the wall
  We stand tall from beginning to end
  With the help from fans and all our friends
  Freedom of speech will never die
  For us to help, our ancestors died
  Don’t keep thinking that we will quit
  We‹ll always stand and never sit
  We‹re 2 live, 2 black, 2 strong
  Doing the right thing, and not the wrong
  So listen up, y‹all, to what we say
  We won’t be banned in the U.S.A.!

  Reporter:
  »Luke’s concerts are for adults«
  Luke (being interviewed):
  »If it’s an adult show you have to be 18″
  »Our record is a year old, but with all the publicity, there’s a lot of people … curiosity is around!«
  »We‹re selling records to a totally different audience.«
  »I take a precaution that nobody else has not stickered my album, I made TWO versions«

  Verse 2: Brother Marquis
  The First Amendment gave us freedom of speech
  So what you sayin‹? It didn’t include me?
  I like to party and have a good time
  There’s nothin‹ but pleasure written in our rhyme
  I know you don’t think we‹ll ever quit
  We‹ve got some people on our side who won’t take your lip
  We‹re gonna do all the things we wanna do
  You can’t stand to see a brother get as rich as you
  This is the 90s and we‹re conin‹ on strong
  Sayin‹ things and doin‹ things that you‹re sayin’s wrong
  Wisen up, ’cause on Election Day,
  We‹ll see who’s banned in the U.S.A.!

  The United States of America
  Government of the people
  The United States of America
  For the people
  The United States of America
  By the people
  By the people

  Luke (being interviewed):
  »The show in Hollywood, that was for 21-and-over people, they had police out there, cars of the people coming in the club, and they still arrested us for performing in front of adults!«

  Luke’s speech:
  What is this?? Is this not America?
  This is not China! This is not Russia! This is not the place where they brought down the wall, this is America!
  We have the right to say what we want to say, we have the right to do what we want to do, and what I do in my house, you might not do in our house!
  So what I do in my house is my business! And the simple fact of it all is that we are BONDED by the First Amendment!
  We have the freedom of EXPRESSION! We have the freedom of CHOICE! And you, Chinese, black, green, purple, Jew, YOU have the right to listen to whoever you want to, and even the 2 Live Crew!
  So all you right-wingers, left-wingers, bigots, Communists, there IS a place for you in this world!
  Because this is the land of the FREE, the home of the BRAVE!
  And 2 Live is what we are!
