|
I talk how I talk when I talk cause I been there |
|
I walk how I walk when I walk cause I been there |
|
On your own sleepin in the park yeah I been there |
|
How we really gonna survive? Let us begin there |
|
[KRS-One] |
|
I'm talkin to the little you but, there is a bigger you |
|
The bigger you is spiritual, little you that is physical |
|
KRS is givin you, somethin more than I get with you |
|
I'm hittin you, splittin you, rippin you down with me |
|
You busted that metaphysical rap, at the pinnacle I'm at |
|
I'm down here just to deal witchu cats |
|
I never bleep you, I just remind you that they don't need you |
|
They gonna keep you for as long as they can eat you |
|
But that mic you speak through goes from here to Mogadishu |
|
And how you represent US is the issue |
|
I'm not here to diss you, or dismiss you |
|
But at any moment we can be hit with missiles |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[KRS-One] |
|
How many MC's must get dissed |
|
How many young men must get frisked |
|
How much ice can really go on one wrist |
|
How many shots get fired at a target and just miss |
|
We gonna live like this? |
|
I walk the same path that Ma$e do |
|
But he went in the church, I stayed out to face you |
|
The difference between us is not just man to man |
|
But in fact it's fan to fan |
|
People that buy KRS-One goin places |
|
People that buy your shit, they catchin cases |
|
My people eat, your people cheat |
|
Such is the words you speak and you reap |
|
You can pop that shit if you like |
|
But people that buy KRS-One, they lookin for the light |
|
Like NYCE, Jada, Lizzard, B.C. |
|
Harold, Symone, Server yo man see me |
|
[Chorus] |
