Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today |
| [00:07.02] |
For this somber occasion |
| [00:08.65] |
|
| [00:09.52] |
Please join us in the mourning of this u-47 |
| [00:12.95] |
It was a great microphone in its day |
| [00:15.20] |
Until it met its fate |
| [00:16.70] |
|
| [00:17.88] |
One evening while it was in the studio |
| [00:19.88] |
|
| [00:23.31] |
|
| [00:23.87] |
So ashes to ashes, and dust to dust |
| [00:27.80] |
May this microphone, rest, in peace.. |
| [00:31.25] |
|
| [00:57.16] |
Knock knock, guess who? yes, ooh |
| [00:59.04] |
The bigger the b, the iggah the i |
| [01:00.67] |
The jigga the g is comin through |
| [01:02.11] |
Yes Im the one with clout, theyre all talkin bout |
| [01:04.68] |
To be frank, I have the flavor like sauerkraut |
| [01:06.80] |
|
| [01:07.42] |
The microphone assassinator and furthermore |
| [01:09.54] |
I murdered plenty rappers and believe that Ill murder more |
| [01:12.54] |
So if you ask to give the kane a go |
| [01:14.99] |
You better treat me like drugs, and just say no |
| [01:18.55] |
Because I utilize my skills to brutilize |
| [01:20.73] |
And in a battle, man you should see what I do to guys |
| [01:23.91] |
Whenever the mics mine, Ill rock a hype rhyme |
| [01:26.41] |
And come off, like dirty panties at nighttime |
| [01:29.09] |
Cause any mic that I caress, I finesse |
| [01:31.34] |
With zest, and just bless, best yet to progress |
| [01:34.58] |
King asiatic, no other rapper stands this |
| [01:36.58] |
You couldnt be a king if you played hockey in los angeles |
| [01:40.05] |
I gets pi-daid, top gri-dade, gotta admit ey |
| [01:43.44] |
Point blank, the kids stri-daight |
| [01:45.06] |
Cause when it comes to r-a-p-p-i-n, huh |
| [01:48.18] |
I got it locked up like a bullpen |
| [01:50.80] |
|
| [01:51.74] |
May you rest in peace 3x |
| [01:53.54] |
|
| [01:59.09] |
If this meaning doesnt manifest, put it to rest! krs-one |
| [02:01.23] |
Rappers I get em and hit em and slit em and split em and rid em |
| [02:04.23] |
Acquit em, when I get wit em, you can tell that I did em |
| [02:06.72] |
I take em and shake em and bake em and ache em and break em |
| [02:09.41] |
And rake em, you cant awake em from the comatose way I make em |
| [02:11.96] |
Cause when youre messin with me -- you know what? |
| [02:14.58] |
You can swallow a live grenade and you still wont blow up! |
| [02:18.20] |
Pickin up the microphone you shouldnt dare |
| [02:20.01] |
Its like bein on a stairmaster, climbin and goin nowhere |
| [02:23.45] |
Youre perpetratin like youre ready and able |
| [02:25.07] |
But couldnt rock a show, if the stage was a cradle |
| [02:28.31] |
Your rhymes are old as an artifact, and you dont want no part of that |
| [02:32.71] |
So dont even start it black |
| [02:34.23] |
Anyone riffin I show them how Im livin |
| [02:36.53] |
And give them some of that treatment like my man michael bivins |
| [02:39.03] |
I smack em up, flip em and then shove em down |
| [02:41.84] |
Huh, oh i-ah-ah-i-ah-i-ah-i dont be ****in around |
| [02:44.65] |
|
| [02:45.16] |
To rip this microphone like this today |
| [02:46.47] |
Since eighty-seven I came a long, long way |
| [02:50.34] |
To headlinin, all the way from supportin.. |
| [02:53.27] |
.. and I know youve been watchin me norton! |
| [02:55.27] |
|
| [02:56.02] |
Through my whole rap career, a lot of young, huh, |
| [02:58.64] |
Rappers sat there, and listened, a lot of young, huh, |
| [03:01.38] |
Rappers sat there, and wishin.. but.. |
| [03:04.07] |
You couldnt see the kane with x-ray vision |
| [03:06.44] |
And just because you didnt see my crew for a few |
| [03:09.37] |
A lot of people thought the wolfpack was through |
| [03:11.68] |
But if you think the kane and scoob and scrapll breakup |
| [03:14.68] |
I tell you like marvin gaye, wake up.. wake up.. wake up.. |
| [03:17.81] |
Put it to rest, its best to fess |
| [03:19.57] |
Because the kane is breakin rappers like the irs |
| [03:22.16] |
|
| [03:23.10] |
And consider this microphone the deceased |
| [03:25.84] |
Now may it rest in peace |
| [03:27.02] |
|
| [03:29.22] |
May you rest in peace 7x |
| [03:30.90] |
|
| [03:47.27] |
If this meaning doesnt manifest, put it to rest! krs-one |
