I always got a kick out of the Chuck D original of this line, picturing him opening a letter that said "Dear Mr. D, We are suckers. We want you for the army or whatever. Love, The Government"
whoever said this was a re-worded ode to the Pharcyde song "Officer" is wrong. actually, that line in "Officer" is a re-worded ode to the opening line of the PUBLIC ENEMY song "Black Steel In the Hour of Chaos."
i feel like, from his origins, he got the line from, UGK's Bun B. "I got a letter from the goverment, the other day, i opened and read it, it said UGK..."
In this day and age, that's not completely out of the realm of probability.
ReplyDeletewhich government, where?
