[00:19.199]
[00:19.671][KRS-One]
[00:22.350]I climb up the back of rappers
[00:24.318]Reach over they head, and rap backwards at 'em
[00:26.895]Excuse me madam, I used to throw these uzis at 'em
[00:29.345]But I'm a teacher, skills I truly have 'em
[00:32.009]These clubs I duly pack 'em
[00:34.496]Potential lawyers engineers and doctors, I do attract 'em
[00:37.614]Go to your professors and ask 'em
[00:39.761]If the songs of the "Edutainment" in college they didn't blast 'em
[00:43.346]Yes - I'm that ancient one
[00:46.462]I set the framework for today's rappers to make they funds
[00:49.478]But no you don't know me son
[00:50.998]My facial features matches the Sphinx with it's nose redone
[00:54.471]You know how many clubs we done rocked?
[00:57.166]You know how many guns we done popped?
[00:58.271]You know how many funds we done dropped?
[01:00.376]You know how many ones we done got?
[01:02.150]We been gettin live since the days of Chubb Rock
[01:04.297]We know how to survive; these other cats
[01:07.694]Be in at nine o'clock then be out at five, uhh
[01:10.034]We doin the overtime, on stage I over-rhyme
[01:12.403]Makin these whack rappers tow the line
[01:15.638]Steppin to me, I know you blind; cause your whole flow
[01:18.270]Your show, your style, you know it's all mine!
[01:20.272]The first time you learned to spit
[01:22.739]It was either me, Kane, Rakim or Slick Rick!
[01:23.862]{*water splashes*}
[01:29.062]Welcome to the "KRStyle"
[01:31.042]This year I had to switch styles and bust off two miss-iles
[01:34.053]And that's not all, rappers have the gall
[01:36.361]To pray and pray for my downfall - but still in all
[01:40.056]I have X amount of lyrics to get 'em all
[01:42.223]Live at the club I spit 'em all
[01:44.308]Rappers backstage lookin sad and piti-fal
[01:47.136]Cause they know I'm the pinna-cle and they mini-mal
[01:49.612]I spit the metaphysical, the spiritual
[01:52.313]The oracle, the lyrical, the oratorical
[01:54.673]Rookie! I'll mop the floor witcho'
[01:57.224]I'm the lyrical foundation to all your flows
[01:59.774]All your clothes, all your shows and I'm not alone
[02:02.657]You wouldn't even know how to hold the mic or the phone
[02:05.229]You couldn't even bite on the bone
[02:08.002]While we was rockin mics out in Rome
[02:09.225]Now you hyped cause you grown?
[02:10.525]You know we internationally known, the people love it
[02:12.906]But what they learnin bout is on the whole, look above it
[02:16.117]But let us get back to what we call hip-hop
[02:19.496]Before you whack rappers went pop
