Word up! It's just a little somethin to tide you over, word up |
|
The "KRStyle" album comin soon, KRS-One all in the room |
|
We gonna bounce these cats this year, word up |
|
Why they do this? Ha - yo, yo |
|
I climb up the back of rappers |
|
Reach over they head, and rap backwards at 'em |
|
Excuse me madam, I used to throw these uzis at 'em |
|
But I'm a teacher, skills I truly have 'em |
|
These clubs I duly pack 'em |
|
Potential lawyers engineers and doctors, I do attract 'em |
|
Go to your professors and ask 'em |
|
if the songs of the "Edutainment" in college they didn't blast 'em |
|
Yes - I'm that ancient one |
|
I set the framework for today's rappers to make they funds |
|
But no you don't know me son |
|
My facial features matches the Sphinx with it's nose redone |
|
You know how many clubs we done rocked? |
|
You know how many guns we done popped? |
|
You know how many funds we done dropped? |
|
You know how many ones we done got? |
|
We been gettin live since the days of Chubb Rock |
|
We know how to survive; these other cats |
|
be in at nine o'clock then be out at five, uhh |
|
We doin the overtime, on stage I over-rhyme |
|
Makin these whack rappers tow the line |
|
Steppin to me, I know you blind; cause your whole flow |
|
your show, your style, you know it's all mine! |
|
The first time you learned to spit |
|
It was either me, Kane, Rakim or Slick Rick! |
|
[water splashes] |
|
Welcome to the "KRStyle" |
|
This year I had to switch styles and bust off two miss-iles |
|
And that's not all, rappers have the gall |
|
To pray and pray for my downfall - but still in all |
|
I have X amount of lyrics to get 'em all |
|
Live at the club I spit 'em all |
|
Rappers backstage lookin sad and piti-fal |
|
Cause they know I'm the pinna-cle and they mini-mal |
|
I spit the metaphysical, the spiritual |
|
The oracle, the lyrical, the oratorical |
|
Rookie! I'll mop the floor witcho' |
|
I'm the lyrical foundation to all your flows |
|
All your clothes, all your shows and I'm not alone |
|
You wouldn't even know how to hold the mic or the phone |
|
You couldn't even bite on the bone |
|
While we was rockin mics out in Rome |
|
Now you hyped cause you grown? |
|
You know we internationally known, the people love it |
|
But what they learnin bout is on the whole, look above it |
|
But let us get back to what we call hip-hop |
|
Before you whack rappers went pop |
