| "Welcome to hip-hop culture" | |
| We stay hot like Tulsa | |
| Knowledge Reigns Supreme, followed by a number ONE | |
| These rappers they do-run-run | |
| Lyrically they flashin two guns with new funds | |
| But politically they do-run-run | |
| When it's time to build, they chill, gettin nuttin done | |
| But they mouth yes they do-run-run | |
| [Chorus: KRS singing] | |
| I've, heard, just about all that I can hear | |
| We talk, and talk, but this talkin is goin nowhere | |
| I've, been, to the summits and conferences | |
| And the people man, they'll tell you man | |
| Hip-Hop is the way we live | |
| [KRS-One] | |
| If you're down for this nation, Hip-Hop the nation | |
| Three generations, fourth in the waitin | |
| Look at what we facin, mainstream penetration | |
| Everyone's a biter now, no innovation | |
| No syncopation, lost communication | |
| Here's what we gotta do to fix the situation | |
| First step - know what you creatin | |
| Hip-Hop the culture, the consciousness, a new civilization | |
| [Chorus] | |
| [KRS-One] | |
| Everybody, c'mon unite now | |
| Turn on the light now, stop all the fight now | |
| Time to unite now, a new type of life now | |
| No stress no strife, no gun no knife now | |
| No board no pipe now, we seein the light now | |
| Bein the light now, the future is right now | |
| Hip-Hop is like WOW, ready to fight now | |
| Sick of the hype now, just about right now | |
| [Chorus] | |
| [KRS-One] | |
| I, hear, uhh, hip-hop is callin me | |
| The fact you must see sir, rap is not all of me | |
| I use that to reach ya, rappers be borin me | |
| Redo the industry with a two dollar royalty | |
| What's the agenda, to hip-hop and politics | |
| Don't you remember? The violence we stoppin this | |
| Kris will defend the, hip-hop populist | |
| The solution is simple, raise up yo' consciousness | |
| [Chorus] - sung without KRS | |
| [KRS-One] | |
