This is why I love Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird, they're the only duo that could pull off a cover of Public Enemy in such a creative way. It's clear this song is a protest against a government that demands loyalty while offering none. It calls out racism, militarism, mass incarceration, and the false promises of equality. It champions resistance... not just to war, but to a system that criminalizes Black existence. It's a wakeup call to question authority, and to refuse compliance in systems of oppression.
