Well my ladies and gentlemen | |
This is a rapsession and my name is "KRS-One!" | |
And when I talk about "Hip-Hop Music!", | |
I know[Kris] | |
One: Breaking or breakdancing | |
Rally b-boying, freestyle or streetdancin' | |
Two: MC'ing or rap | |
Divine speech what | |
I'm doing right now no act | |
Three: Grafitti art or burning bombin' | |
Taggin', writin', now you're learning! uh! | |
Four : DJ'ing, we ain't playing!{*scratch* | |
You know what | |
I'm saying! | |
Five : Beatboxing | |
Give me a {*beatboxin* | |
Yes and we rockin'! | |
Six: Street fashion, lookin' fly | |
Catchin' the eye while them cats walk on by | |
Seven: Street language, our verbal communication | |
Our codes throughout the nation | |
Eight: Street knowledge, common sense | |
The wisdom of the elders from way back whence | |
Nine : Street entrepreneur realism | |
No job, just get up call 'em and get 'em | |
Here's how | |
I'm tellin' it, all 9 | |
ElementsWe stand in love, no we're never failing it | |
Intelligent? | |
No doubtHip- | |
Hop? We're not selling it out, we're just lettin' it out | |
If you're checkin' us out this hour, we teatchin' hip-hop | |
Holy integrated people have it, | |
I'm the present power![Chorus] | |
Rap is something you do!3x | |
Hip-Hop is something you live! *scratched* | |
Rap is something you do! | |
Hip-Hop is something you live! *scratched*[Kris] | |
Skaters, B | |
MX-bike riders rock | |
Don't you ever stop! | |
You are hip-hop | |
You doing the same things we did on our block in the suburbs | |
You know you be packing that black block | |
Selling that crackrock and ecstacy | |
Gettin' pissydrunk, fallin' out next to me | |
But like I told those in the ghettoes | |
Here's the facts! | |
True hip-hop is so much more than that | |
Some much more than rap, so much more than beats | |
Hip-hop is all about victory over the streets | |
What you see on | |
TV is a lie | |
That's not something you wanna live or pattern your life by | |
But, huh that's too much preachin' ain't it? | |
You don't want the "edutainment", you wanna be dead on the pavement | |
Well, so be it, some of ya'll ain't gonna see it | |
Others wanna enslave your mind! | |
Kris wanna free it![Chorus] | |
Rap is something you do!5x | |
Hip-Hop is something you live! *scratched*"Oh yea" *scratched* --- | |
From "P is dead""I have spent my whole life livin'", "talk to the fullest", "no doubt"[Kris] | |
You know that's why these rappers can't hang | |
Cause the essence of hip-hop is not a material thang | |
They so careless, hip-hop is in a {? we give | |
Rap we do, hip-hop we live | |
How many times | |
I gotta say it? | |
How the radio ain't gonna play it | |
And you hip-hoppers sit back and okay it | |
Think about it! (think about it) | |
The present course of action, we have got to reroute it![Chorus: repeat 3X] | |
Hip-Hop is something you live! |
