| I was seen openin up at the edge of Detroit
|
| where the cops go beyond the laws
|
| where enemies work together by putting they shit on pause
|
| So what does it mean, Assault on Precinct 13?
|
| You are bout to see just what the dirt bring
|
| It’s working, that force, I have been searching
|
| Like Lawrence Fishburne when it’s time to hurt things
|
| Ethan Hawke, man he face all that
|
| I hold the mic like Ja held the baseball bat
|
| I stay ahead, like a baseball cap
|
| The ways of the world, Kris don’t chase all that
|
| We gettin up outta here, that’s what’s up. |
| That’s what’s up Watch me back up the truck
|
| You livin wit a lot of fear. |
| That’s what’s up, my gats stay up So crooked cops you backin me up?
|
| We gettin up outta here, that’s what’s up. |
| That’s what’s up Watch me back up the truck
|
| You livin wit a lot of fear. |
| That’s what’s up, my gats stay up So crooked cops you backin me up?
|
| Well as I walk through the street, my spirit will speak
|
| to those I meet and great from week to week
|
| I am not my handsome beat. |
| I command the speak
|
| As the observer inside the physique
|
| Many rappers try to compete, of course
|
| But they got smashed and trashed in the streets and tossed
|
| Sometimes I think we all just lost
|
| We just flashin and flossin the disasterous cause
|
| We don’t even know the one-ness of the only force
|
| Instead of a golden calf, we got a platinum horse
|
| But what did Moses do with the golden calf?
|
| Threw the log at it and it ended in a blast
|
| Master, get on them quick, get on them faster
|
| In the background you frontin, cuz there’s nothing but laughter
|
| I tag church like the shirt king
|
| Turn up the track for Assault on Precinct 13
|
| We gettin up outta here, that’s what’s up. |
| That’s what’s up Watch me back up the truck
|
| You livin wit a lot of fear. |
| That’s what’s up, my gats stay up So crooked cops you backin me up?
|
| We gettin up outta here, that’s what’s up. |

|
| You livin wit a lot of fear. |
| That’s what’s up, my gats stay up So crooked cops you backin me up?
|
| Wow, what an ending. |
| What a conclusion
|
| They thought they was winning, but they really was losin
|
| He though he was sinnin, but he really was provin
|
| that leadership keeps it moving, steady cruising
|
| Guns up, funds up, from sun up to sun up to sun up Buck buck buck! |
| Yo, duck duck
|
| We run up, two down, one up Dope MCs see me and get butterflies in they stomach
|
| Others can’t speak, they just shut up KRS on the come up, liftin Big Pun up. |
| Let me sum up Dope MCs, wack MCs, thin MCs, fat MCs, commercial MCs, they can’t all
|

|
| We gotta start trusting each other right now if we gonna make it through this night
|
| From Criminal Minded to Spiritual Minded, and even beyond and behind
|
| it, never be afraid to fight
|
| or be the lazy type. |
| Me, I’m the crazy type
|
| I get them clubs so crazy hype
|
| I throw them glasses on that them ladies like
|
| And years later, rock what they babies like
|
| I blaze the light, there me be 8,000,000 ways to die
|
| but there’s 16,000,000 ways to fight
|
| So wherever you are… in the crib or your car, in your tank too
|

|
| That’s why KRS on the mic
|
| Wishin you peace for the rest of the night
