| Word up! |
| It’s just a little somethin to tide you over, word up
|
| The «KRStyle» album comin soon, KRS-One all in the room
|
| We gonna bounce these cats this year, word up
|
| Why they do this? |
| Ha — yo, yo
|
| I climb up the back of rappers
|
| Reach over they head, and rap backwards at 'em
|
| Excuse me madam, I used to throw these uzis at 'em
|
| But I’m a teacher, skills I truly have 'em
|
| These clubs I duly pack 'em
|
| Potential lawyers engineers and doctors, I do attract 'em
|
| Go to your professors and ask 'em
|
| If the songs of the «Edutainment» in college they didn’t blast 'em
|
| Yes — I’m that ancient one
|
| I set the framework for today’s rappers to make they funds
|
| But no you don’t know me son
|
| My facial features matches the Sphinx with it’s nose redone
|
| You know how many clubs we done rocked?
|
| You know how many guns we done popped?
|
| You know how many funds we done dropped?
|
| You know how many ones we done got?
|
| We been gettin live since the days of Chubb Rock
|
| We know how to survive; |
| these other cats
|
| Be in at nine o’clock then be out at five, uhh
|
| We doin the overtime, on stage I over-rhyme
|
| Makin these whack rappers tow the line
|
| Steppin to me, I know you blind; |
| cause your whole flow
|
| Your show, your style, you know it’s all mine!
|
| The first time you learned to spit
|
| It was either me, Kane, Rakim or Slick Rick!
|
| Welcome to the «KRStyle»
|
| This year I had to switch styles and bust off two miss-iles
|
| And that’s not all, rappers have the gall
|
| To pray and pray for my downfall — but still in all
|
| I have X amount of lyrics to get 'em all
|
| Live at the club I spit 'em all
|
| Rappers backstage lookin sad and piti-fal
|
| Cause they know I’m the pinna-cle and they mini-mal
|
| I spit the metaphysical, the spiritual
|
| The oracle, the lyrical, the oratorical
|
| Rookie! |
| I’ll mop the floor witcho'
|
| I’m the lyrical foundation to all your flows
|
| All your clothes, all your shows and I’m not alone
|
| You wouldn’t even know how to hold the mic or the phone
|
| You couldn’t even bite on the bone
|
| While we was rockin mics out in Rome
|
| Now you hyped cause you grown?
|
| You know we internationally known, the people love it
|
| But what they learnin bout is on the whole, look above it
|
| But let us get back to what we call hip-hop
|
| Before you whack rappers went pop |
