| "if you like the sound of what you've heard so far.." | |
| [krs-one] | |
| Ghetto music | |
| Ghetto music | |
| Ghetto music | |
| Ghetto music.. | |
| .. you're tuned into that easy listening sound | |
| With a cap and gown, not a crown | |
| No glitter, no makeup | |
| Just smashin lyrics, that make up | |
| The b, d, and the p | |
| You pay for the hits, the advice is free | |
| In this industry, we gotta grow | |
| Commercial some go, but, y'know | |
| Just as important as they are | |
| So is the underground superstar (like me) | |
| You gotta ask yourself one question | |
| Do i speak facts, or do i start guessin? | |
| Learn the lesson, before you plan your career | |
| Commercial or underground, where | |
| Do you fit, cause both sides write hits | |
| And all is rap, i'll admit | |
| But what i've come to explain | |
| Is that these people love to play a game | |
| They wanna make it seem like you're wrong | |
| For writin the reality song | |
| (don't touch those issues, don't talk about dat | |
| We don't take knowledge rap) | |
| What? they want you on their bases | |
| Cause if you bring out the brown, you're racist | |
| But if you bring out the pink, well wait, it's ok | |
| Yeah, they won't stop it | |
| I guess it's alright to act demonic | |
| I guess it's alright to act demonic | |
| But that's another chapter, in another book | |
| I've come to show a different look | |
| And that look is the whole of rap | |
| Not just the commercial pap | |
| But the underground, that raw ghetto sound | |
| From which rap music was found | |
| So you can't deny it, you cannot refuse it | |
| I'll be rockin that ghetto music | |
| .. | |
| People keep tellin me, "kris! you need more radio | |
| Yeah man, that's the way to go! | |
| You gotta be like so-and-so to go platinum," | |
| Then i attack em! | |
| I rhyme for the ghetto, i teach the ghetto | |
| I cannot let go, change up? heck no | |
| In the ghetto, i stay mellow | |
| We're in effect yo, ready, set, go | |
| Fresh, for nineteen eighty-nine you suckers | |
| Peace to p.e., and the jungle brothers | |
| Others, have come, to master the art | |
| They start, with heart, then fall apart | |
| Like a dart i shoot for one target (bo bo) | |
| Ghetto music, yeah they'll never chart it | |
| Cause now in eighty-nine, the purpose of a rhyme | |
| Is to strengthen and uplift the mind | |
| Although i'll achieve and achieve and achieve | |
| It's simple, i'll never leave | |
| Cause every time you front for respect you lose it | |
| I'll rock ghetto music | |
| Ghetto music | |
| Ghetto music | |
| Ghetto music | |
| Ghetto music.. |
