| [00:01.40] |
Step into a world |
| [00:04.28] |
Where there's no one left |
| [00:09.52] |
But the very best |
| [00:14.41] |
No MC can test |
| [00:20.74] |
Step into a world |
| [00:24.57] |
where hip-hop is me |
| [00:29.70] |
Where MC's and |
| [00:33.68] |
DJ'sBuild up their skills as they play every day |
| [00:40.83] |
For the, rapture |
| [00:43.04] |
Yeah, what what |
| [00:45.86] |
Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop |
| [00:48.09] |
KRS-One, rock on |
| [00:50.89] |
Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop |
| [00:53.21] |
KRS-One, rock on |
| [00:55.87] |
I'm 'bout to hit you wit that traditional style of cold rockin' |
| [00:58.39] |
Givin' options for head knockin' non stoppin' |
| [01:00.87] |
Tip-toppin' lyrics we droppin' but styles can be forgotten |
| [01:04.19] |
So we bring back the raw hip-hoppin' |
| [01:06.03] |
Just like the records and tapes you be coppin' |
| [01:08.66] |
Cop some breakdancin', boogie poppin', and lockin' |
| [01:11.11] |
Tic tockin', guaranteed to have you clockin' |
| [01:13.66] |
We only get better and only better we have gotten |
| [01:16.16] |
This type of flow don't even think about stoppin' |
| [01:18.68] |
Beware, the length of the rhyme flow can be shockin' |
| [01:21.23] |
All music lovers in the place right now |
| [01:23.51] |
That never understood the way that |
| [01:25.56] |
KRS got down |
| [01:26.44] |
Yo, I'm strictly about skills and dope lyrical coastin' |
| [01:28.70] |
Relying on talent, |
| [01:29.93] |
Not marketing and promotion |
| [01:31.34] |
If a dope lyrical flow is a must |
| [01:32.90] |
You gots to go with a name you can quickly trust |
| [01:36.32] |
I'm not sayin' |
| [01:37.57] |
I'm number one, uhh |
| [01:38.32] |
I'm sorry I lie |
| [01:40.32] |
I liedI'm number one, two, three, four and five |
| [01:41.43] |
Stop wastin' your money on marketing schemes |
| [01:43.91] |
And pretty packages pushin' dreams to the beams |
| [01:46.41] |
A dope MC is a dope |
| [01:47.94] |
MC With or without a record deal, all can see |
| [01:51.43] |
And that's who |
| [01:52.88] |
KRS be son |
| [01:54.26] |
I'm not the run of mill, 'cause for the mill |
| [01:56.45] |
I don't run |
| [01:57.72] |
Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop |
| [01:58.96] |
KRS-One, rock on |
| [02:01.75] |
Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop |
| [02:04.09] |
KRS-One, rock on |
| [02:06.61] |
Step into a world |
| [02:10.71] |
Where there's no one left |
| [02:15.46] |
But the very best |
| [02:20.58] |
No MC can test |
| [02:26.94] |
Step into a world |
| [02:30.66] |
Where hip-hop is me |
| [02:35.81] |
Where MC's and |
| [02:39.87] |
DJ'sBuild up their skills as they play every day |
| [02:48.08] |
For the, rapture |
| [02:51.22] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [02:52.26] |
Everybody on the mic in the party sound alike |
| [02:54.64] |
Until I recite, in black and white what's right |
| [02:57.04] |
Let me take flight, my style is tight and good |
| [02:59.62] |
Tight and good, come is it tight and good |
| [03:02.12] |
Old styles |
| [03:03.33] |
I pass dat, slow down on fast rap |
| [03:04.65] |
All in yo' ass crack, old king go blast dat |
| [03:07.07] |
Conjure to ask dat, hyper type of flashback |
| [03:09.67] |
I publish like ascap lyrics for hand clap |
| [03:12.16] |
No past rappin', youth trackin', talent lackin' |
| [03:14.70] |
MC's more worried about their financial backin' |
| [03:17.26] |
Steady packin' a gat as if something's gonna happen |
| [03:19.85] |
But it doesn't, they wind up shootin' they cousin, they buggin' |
| [03:22.50] |
I appear everywhere and nowhere at once |
| [03:24.86] |
I know my style is bumpin', even though some people front |
| [03:27.66] |
It's the God of rap, you heard of it |
| [03:29.89] |
The one that rhymes toward the sky givin' airplanes mad turbulence |
| [03:32.50] |
In rap tournaments |
| [03:34.00] |
I reign permanent |
| [03:35.22] |
Don't you think by now the number one spot |
| [03:37.52] |
I'm not concerned with it |
| [03:39.59] |
The course of rap |
| [03:41.18] |
I'm turnin' it |
| [03:42.38] |
Back to that good old fashioned way of getting cash money by earning it |
| [03:44.04] |
No bogus hocus pocus |
| [03:45.14] |
I bring back to focus |
| [03:46.48] |
Skills if you notice my position is lotus |
| [03:47.80] |
Now quote this |
| [03:49.10] |
MC's are just hopeless |
| [03:50.22] |
Thinkin' record sales make them the dopest |
| [03:52.99] |
Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop |
| [03:55.15] |
KRS-One, rock on |
| [03:57.74] |
Yes yes y'all, ya don't stop |
| [04:00.36] |
KRS-One, rock on |
| [04:02.95] |
Step into a world |
| [04:06.90] |
Where there's no one left |
| [04:11.71] |
But the very best |
| [04:16.85] |
No MC can test |
| [04:23.62] |
Step into a world |
| [04:26.93] |
where hip-hop is me |
| [04:31.93] |
Where MC's and |
| [04:36.06] |
DJ'sBuild up their skills as they play every day |
| [04:43.43] |
For the, rapture |
