Reigns Supreme, believe and live |
|
You done heard the hype, |
|
COME to where the talent is "I'm Still #1," yup you heard right |
|
People say, "KRS-One you shine bright!" |
|
Others say, "Yo - you rhyme tight" |
|
When you find me, you find light, and that's alright |
|
I don't know about pimpin, sellin women like retail |
|
Or turning coke into crack for resale |
|
But I do know if we fail |
|
In 2020 our children by the million gonna be jailed |
|
We got the victory over the streets |
|
God willin we chillin, we know we gon' eat |
|
I'm a whole different kind of |
|
MC, hoes don't like not tempt me but the ladies treat me oh so gently |
|
Universities sendin me stretch |
|
Bentleys My seminars and lectures, are rarely never empty |
|
We teach students plenty, honorary degrees |
|
Gold and platinum plaques |
|
I got many, ask |
|
Kenny People get shocked when |
|
I walk into |
|
Denny's Or the corner |
|
Kwik-Stop, they say, "That's Hip-Hop right there," and yeah it's really quite clear 2004 might be the right year for mental and spiritual repair |
|
The solution is in the resolution you just declared [Chorus] [KRS-One] |
|
When I speak like this |
|
Knowledge |
|
Reigns Supreme, hip-hop philosopher |
|
All in the street well |
|
I'm very popular |
|
All through the hood |
|
I make all the stops and |
|
I avoid the cops and them random shots well |
|
I love hip-hop and |
|
I, live hip-hop so |
|
I spit that shit to get you off your block cause |
|
I can't understand and |
|
I, wish I could see dem cats that talk bout they love the hood and they never bring the hood anything that's good, and they rap for the money tree, chasin a company |
|
But I think you can now see, rap is fun to me |
|
I got a ministry, a class, a staff that's under me |
|
KRS in pop rap? |
|
Nah, it ain't ought to be |
|
It'll never happen like, you eatin pork with me |
|
Amateurs hawkin me, |
|
DON'T EVEN talk to me |
|
My house is in |
|
Atlanta but |
|
I still got |
|
New York in me |
|
Walk with me, most rappers are short to me |
|
I'm like Chamberlain, dominatin the sport you see |
|
I toss MC's off of me |
|
When you hear |
|
KRS you say that's how it ought to be [Chorus] [KRS-One] |
|
I drop heat like this! |
