歌曲 | Like A Throttle - LP Version |
歌手 | Boogie Down Productions |
专辑 | Sex & Violence |
*snapping fingers and singing* | |
Ha ha, hah hah! da-doo-doo-doo, do-doo | |
You wanna test me are you stupid? | |
Gotta be out of your ****in mind | |
Krs-one is the don, seen? | |
Come down kenny park-ah!! | |
Hahaha, you know | |
I don't know what your management be tellin you | |
I don't know what your producers be tellin you | |
But yo, you step this way | |
You're gettin played, out of position | |
So let me give you a little style | |
Check it out | |
Everytime krs-one steps in the jam | |
The party is packed, he got the mic in his hand | |
Brooklyn's ready uptown's in the house | |
Kenny drops the beat and we turn the party out | |
That's it! none of the gimmicks, tricks, oh it's | |
You either have the hits, or the crazy hype lyrics | |
But mc's come half-assed, and lookin pitiful | |
None of em lyrical but their ego is critical | |
Like i said i'm not a muslim but to allah i'm obedient | |
Some mc's on the mic become muslims when it's convenient | |
And i've seen it! | |
Real muslims praise allah, and they mean it | |
Others are dreamin it with sex me and do me and | |
I'd rather listen to the brand nubians | |
You know it's funny everybody wants money | |
And material things from cars and chicken wings | |
When they sing, they sing for the cash | |
They fail to realize, respect will outlast cash | |
You get respect by bein creative | |
And yes a native to your audience, so you know reality | |
In other words, if you ain't a gangsta why play you a gangsta? | |
If you ain't a hoe, why sell sex? | |
If you believe in allah, how is it you can only work when there's a check? | |
All of this is incorrect | |
First should always come respect | |
The charts are not equal to the respect of the people | |
Their respect doesn't weeble or wobble | |
They know the difference from an artist and a lip-syncin model | |
Right on stage, you'll get a bottle | |
You're-holding-my-dick-like-a-throttle | |
I'm the freshest thing on the mic don't mess with me | |
I'm fresher than your grandmother's fried chicken recipe | |
Don't test me, you ain't a chemist and i sure ain't chemistry | |
You're not a mathematician and my name ain't geometry | |
You're no astronomer why see me as astronomy | |
But i'm a parker so i'll play you like monopoly | |
Don't entertain the thought of droppin me | |
To think of me as anything less than your teacher | |
Crazy you got to be | |
These type of lyrical styles cannot be said sloppily | |
I rip it up constantly | |
You're-holding-my-dick-like-a-throttle | |
The teacher will come, again and again and again and again | |
To set the trend and lend to other men a perfect blend | |
So-when-their-lyrics-finish-krs-one-just-begin | |
Ripping up sucker teachers put their courage to an end | |
So once again, the trendsetter comes a lot better | |
Forever too clever for a petty mc in leather | |
Whenever they decide, whatever i'm in sync | |
The lyrics i write, help me think | |
To guide ink off the paper through the air smack in your face | |
And erase in haste the rhymes you embrace | |
Just in case, get the **** out my face i run this place | |
You're lucky you're from the same race | |
A simple technique will keep you on beat | |
With the style from the street you compete with the elite | |
That's weak -- flashin gold and can't speak | |
I seek the direction of the brown complexion | |
So every year, i appear somewhere | |
That you hear my dear to get one thing clear | |
Whether on welfare or millionaire | |
Don't step to this here or you outta here | |
Allow me now to please change the gear | |
?and-pick-up-the-mic-you-missed-those-happen-around-me-have-me-feared, come!? | |
?we come in the dance we haffa likka of a shot an towah? | |
Let's get back to the hip-hop | |
You come into the place you can't look in my face | |
Cause the light is bright and i'm towering in height | |
See there are millions of stars in the sky | |
When the sun appears none are visible to the eye | |
Why, the reason is the sun is the sun | |
You can't possibly rock, until i'm done | |
And finished, and like the evening i'll fade | |
But when i return you'll cry for more shade | |
So check the dancestyle cause i am not | |
Softening up it's time that i rock and sing | |
Not about my ding-a-ling-a-ling! | |
But instead bring intellect pon ting | |
Cause you can inject ignorance in rap | |
But kenny parker ain't tryin to hear that |
snapping fingers and singing | |
Ha ha, hah hah! dadoodoodoo, dodoo | |
You wanna test me are you stupid? | |
Gotta be out of your in mind | |
