|
I'm bringing back the style that others have pushed to the rear |
|
Now you see me, now you don't, now I'm everywhere |
|
Maybe you can see that knowledge does reign supreme |
|
Rap is like a ballclub and I coach the team |
|
Move the crowd, that's what MC mean |
|
How many albums I got? Mmmm...12, 13 |
|
I've told y'all before |
|
You are not just doin' hip-hop, you are hip-hop |
|
Them jokers need to stop, be hip-hop |
|
I mastered this and him, her, they, them, that one |
|
she and he did not |
|
I speak a lot |
|
I hit 'em in they weakest spot |
|
Come see me rock, yo, you'll leave in shock |
|
KRS, you ever wonder why he's so hot? |
|
It's because he's not pop yo, he's hip-hop |
|
West to East the sound of the police will rock |
|
If you don't love this you won't have the heat I got |
|
Disciplined if you listening the beats (?) |
|
**** the dumb shit yo, we gotta teach the tots |
|
They say I preach a lot |
|
And last year the took the jeep and shot |
|
But this year the beat will knock |
|
[Hook x2: KRS-One] |
|
I know where |
|
We can go |
|
To see how a real MC flow |
|
No video |
|
No radio |
|
Just a live show |
|
C'mon now you gon' go? |
|
[Verse 2: KRS-One] |
|
I'm still standing, demanding playing my lex jammin' |
|
Cats wanna really see me start blam-blammin' |
|
Put away the cannon for this overstandin' |
|
I'm landin' |
|
Let the music play like Shannon |
|
I'm so hot, why not, I bring all the fans in |
|
Watch me now come alive like Peter Frampton |
|
Listen to me people, listen to me loud and clear |
|
It's time I found out what type of people up in here |
|
When I shout out the classic if you know it say yeah |
|
South Bronx-Yeah! |
|
My Philosophy-Yeah! |
|
Black Cop-Yeah! |
|
You Must Learn-Yeah! |
|
Yeah we gonna do it up in here |
|
I'm still standin' |
|
And rappers be mad-mad |
|
Cause they know they'll give birth like the American |
|
flag in Baghdad |
|
All they do is blab-blab, that head chatter |
|
Why the dopest MC always a dead rapper? |
|
I'm a real live rapper, I'm out to set it |
|
I pay dues, while your crews still on credit |
|
You talk that shit till I come out the school |
|
And all y'all sound like Trina sayin' "That's Cool" |
|
Time for the streets again |
|
Time for them cats to pop gats into the mic you speakin' in |
|
I'm creepin' in with a hundred soldiers |
|
When I step on the stage it's over |
|
[Hook x2] |
|
[Verse 3: KRS-One] |
|
They don't play me a lot |
|
KRS you don't see a lot |
|
On TV a lot, but I do MC a lot |
|
I don't duck and hide when I see the cops |
|
I'm free with the knowledge to free the block |
|
Live on the radio I'm sendin' my rhyme, you can see |
|
I'm behind enemy lines |
|
You already heard about plenty of crime |
|
Now hear about the sciences that could really open ya mind |
|
I only got a little bit of time to rhyme before the |
|
producer over here says "Ok, that's fine" |
|
So let's get to it, I got my whole squad with me |
|
On top'a all that I got God with me |
|
You can go far with me |
|
From New York, to Atlanta, to LA |
|
You know they all with me |
|
You might not see me on this station cause this is a |
|
Rapcity and KRS leads a Hip-Hop nation |
|
Even though y'all chase ends |
|
Why can't weeeeee be friends, it all depends |
|
Cats wanna thug it out |
|
Isn't it true that Hip-Hop was bigger when we all loved it out? |
|
Look at the difference in raps |
|
See when I'm spittin' the facts |
|
Louder than anyone could rap, the industry collapse |
|
No one's special anymore |
|
Variety is gone for sure |
|
[Hook x2] |
