| We krush them and they click
|
| Let me tell you right now what you supposed to get
|
| You supposed to get free and intelligent
|
| Not a platinum plaque that’s irrelevant
|
| We krush them and they crew
|
| Let me tell you right now what you supposed to do
|
| While they floss with the chi-ching and all the rings
|
| You stay focused, keep doin' your thing
|
| You cannot get the diamond ring if you can’t really sing
|
| Or if you haven’t got a skill that you ready to fling
|
| What you bringin' to the table if you not really able
|
| Tryin' to get to the top like the Tower of Babel
|
| Back in the days, remember all the old gold cables
|
| Where they at now? |
| Sold when they dropped from the label
|
| All the money they gave you, made you very unstable
|
| They really enslaved but you wasn’t able with the coke in your nasal
|
| To see you up in the crib but they rockin' your cradle
|
| You a joke and you fatal, they made you an MC
|
| Meaning, most confused
|
| Not E M C E E, that’s what I use
|
| Many people really wanna know from me
|
| When I’m a drop and they can go cop, the next LP
|
| Or CD or T A P E you see
|
| It’s about word of mouth for me
|
| We krush them and they click
|
| Let me tell you right now what you supposed to get
|
| You supposed to get free and intelligent
|
| Not a platinum plaque that’s irrelevant
|
| We krush them and they rap
|
| Yo, they don’t really know where the money is at
|
| And what’s funny is that, is if you’d just stay focused
|
| They’d be the one to be the brokest
|
| I’m from the inner city, that’s right, flashy asses and titties
|
| That’s right, no pity mad graffiti, that’s right
|
| Broken gang treaties, that’s real
|
| I speak complete broken slang freely at will
|
| I spit what I’m about to spit, get what I’m about to get
|
| Never no counterfeit, movin' about a bit
|
| 'Knowledge Reigns Supreme', only a few like the sound of it
|
| Others can’t get down with it
|
| So why did I have to come off my sabbatical? |
| Battle you?
|
| My metachromatical will splatter you
|
| I got another track to do, I can’t mack witchu
|
| Your rhymes are fictional, mine are factual
|
| I’ll embarrass you, I’m glad to do
|
| I’m the teacher but in the streets it can be bad for you
|
| I feel sad for you, 'cause you frontin' like you gettin' ahead
|
| But you really on E instead
|
| I’ve come to show these people, you’re not my equal
|
| All you want is the cash and a hoe in a see-through
|
| Yeah, KRS-One comin' through with the breeze team
|
| You know how we do
|
| We krush them and they click
|
| Let me tell you right now what you supposed to get
|
| You supposed to get free and intelligent
|
| Not a platinum plaque that’s irrelevant
|
| Yo, we krush them and they squad
|
| Let me tell you right now that it’s all about God
|
| You can walk around the streets like you livin' it hard
|
| But a real teacher know when you scarred
|
| I refuse to be bought, I refuse to snooze
|
| I refuse to come up short, I refuse to lose
|
| I refuse to be caught in the court
|
| I refuse to refuse bein' taught, I refuse evil thoughts
|
| 'Cause they whole shit’s wack, trap’s wack
|
| You’re wack, you’re pack’s wack, in fact I jab-slap that
|
| Cap at that, now, retract that crap, wherever I’m in or at
|
| You better go back and sip that crap
|
| Bring your gat, I’m lovin' that
|
| Like football, you’ll be, runnin' back
|
| Blazin' 'em, merely dazin' 'em, barely playin' 'em out
|
| These are God’s lyrics, I’m just sayin' 'em out
|
| We krush them and they click
|
| Let me tell you right now what you supposed to get
|
| You supposed to get free and intelligent
|
| Not a platinum plaque that’s irrelevant
|
| We krush them and they crew
|
| Let me tell you right now what you supposed to do
|
| You supposed to be buttoned up right to your neck
|
| If you a woman, you’ll get respect
|
| Let me tell you we krush them and they crew
|
| Let me tell you right now what you supposed to be
|
| You supposed to be a man of integrity
|
| Above the law, you effect destiny
|
| We krush them and they lie
|
| This is conscious rap, we not hypnotized
|
| Anywhere the action’s at, we rappin' at
|
| Takin it home and unpackin' that, that, that |
