My Philosophy (LP Version) - Boogie Down Productions[00:00:00]
So you're a philosopher[00:00:00]
Yes yes yes yes[00:00:02]
Yes[00:00:08]
I think very deeply[00:00:09]
I think very deeply[00:00:12]
I think very deeply[00:00:14]
I think I think I think very deeply[00:00:17]
In about four seconds a teacher will begin to speak[00:00:21]
I think I think very deeply[00:00:24]
Let us begin what where why or when[00:00:26]
Will all be explained like instructions to a game[00:00:29]
See I'm not insane in fact I'm kind of rational[00:00:32]
When I be asking you Who is more dramatical[00:00:34]
This one or that one the white one or the black one[00:00:37]
Pick the punk and I'll jump up to attack one[00:00:40]
KRS-One is just the guy to lead a crew[00:00:42]
Right up to your face and dis you[00:00:45]
Everyone saw me on the last album cover[00:00:47]
Holding a pistol something far from a lover[00:00:50]
Beside my brother S-C-O-T-T[00:00:52]
I just laughed 'cause no one can defeat me[00:00:55]
This is lecture number two My Philosophy[00:00:58]
Number one was Poetry you know it's me[00:01:00]
This is my philosophy many artists got to learn[00:01:03]
I'm not flammable I don't burn[00:01:05]
So please stop burnin' and learn to earn respect[00:01:07]
'Cause that's just what KRS collects[00:01:10]
See what do you expect when you rhyme like a soft punk[00:01:13]
You walk down the street and get jumped[00:01:16]
You got to have style and learn to be original[00:01:18]
And everybody's gonna want to dis you[00:01:21]
Like me we stood up for the South Bronx[00:01:23]
And every sucker MC had a response[00:01:26]
You think we care[00:01:28]
I know that they are on the tip[00:01:29]
My posse from the Bronx is thick[00:01:31]
And we're real live[00:01:33]
We roll correctly[00:01:34]
A lot of suckas would like to forget me[00:01:36]
But they can't[00:01:38]
'Cause like a champ I have got a record[00:01:39]
Of knocking out the frauds in a second[00:01:41]
On the mic I believe that you should get loose[00:01:43]
I haven't come to tell you I got juice[00:01:46]
I just produce create[00:01:48]
Innovate on a higher level[00:01:49]
I'll be back but for now just seckle[00:01:51]
I'll play the nine and you play the target[00:02:04]
You all know my name[00:02:06]
So I guess I'll just start it[00:02:07]
Or should I say start this I am an artist[00:02:09]
Of new concepts at their hardest[00:02:11]
Yo 'cause I'm a teacher the Scott is a scholar[00:02:14]
It ain't about money 'cause we all make dollars[00:02:16]
That's why I walk with my head up[00:02:19]
When I hear wack rhymes I get fed up[00:02:22]
Rap is like a set-up a lot of games[00:02:24]
A lot of suckas with colorful names[00:02:27]
I'm so-and-so I'm this I'm that[00:02:29]
Huh but they all just wick-wick-wack[00:02:32]
I'm not white or red or black[00:02:34]
I'm brown from the Boogie Down[00:02:37]
Productions of course our music be thumpin'[00:02:40]
Others say they're bad but they're buggin'[00:02:42]
Let me tell you something now about hip-hop[00:02:45]
About D-Nice Melodie and Scott LaRock[00:02:47]
I'll get a pen a pencil a marker[00:02:50]
Mainly what I write is for the average New Yorker[00:02:52]
Some MC's be talkin' and talkin'[00:02:55]
Tryin' to show how black people are walkin'[00:02:57]
But I don't walk this way to portray[00:03:00]
Or reinforce stereotypes of today[00:03:02]
Like all my bruthas eat chicken and watermelon[00:03:05]
Talk broken English and drug sellin'[00:03:07]
See I'm tellin' and teachin' real facts[00:03:10]
The way some act in rap is kind of wack[00:03:12]
And it lacks creativity and intelligence[00:03:16]
But they don't care[00:03:18]
Cause the company is sellin' it[00:03:19]
It's my philosophy on the industry[00:03:20]
Don't bother dissin' me or even wish that we'd[00:03:23]
Soften dilute or commercialize all the lyrics[00:03:26]
'Cause it's about time one of y'all hear it[00:03:28]
And hear it first-hand from the intelligent brown man[00:03:31]
A vegetarian no goat or ham[00:03:33]
Or chicken or turkey or hamburger[00:03:36]
'Cause to me that's suicide self murder[00:03:38]
Let us get back to what we call hip-hop[00:03:41]
And what it meant to DJ Scott LaRock[00:03:44]
How many MC's must get dissed[00:03:56]
Before somebody says Don't with Kris[00:03:58]
This is just one style out of many[00:04:01]
Like a piggy bank this is just one penny[00:04:04]
My brother's name is Kenny that's Kenny Parker[00:04:06]
My other brother I C U is much darker[00:04:09]
Boogie Down Productions is made up of teachers[00:04:11]
The lecture is conducted from the mic into[00:04:14]
The speakers[00:04:16]
Who gets weaker The King or the teacher[00:04:17]
It's not about a salary it's all about reality[00:04:19]
Teachers teach and do the world good[00:04:21]
Kings just rule and most were never understood[00:04:24]
If you were to rule or govern a certain industry[00:04:26]
All inside this room right now would be in misery[00:04:29]
No one would get along nor sing a song[00:04:32]
'Cause everyone'd be singin' for the King[00:04:34]
Am I wrong[00:04:36]
So yo what's up it's me again[00:04:37]
Scott LaRock KRS BDP again[00:04:40]
Many people had the nerve[00:04:42]
To think we would end the trend[00:04:43]
We're criminal minded an album which is only ten[00:04:45]
Funky funky funky funky funky hit records[00:04:47]
No more than four minutes and some seconds[00:04:50]
The competition checks and checks and keeps checkin'[00:04:52]
They take the album take it home and start sweatin'[00:04:55]
Why Well it's simple to them it's kind of vital[00:04:57]
To take KRS-One's title[00:05:00]
To them I'm like an idol some kind of entity[00:05:03]
In everybody's rhyme they want to mention me[00:05:05]
Or rather mention us me or Scott LaRock[00:05:08]
But they can get bust get robbed get dropped[00:05:10]
I don't play around nor do I f around[00:05:13]
And you can tell by the bodies that are left around[00:05:15]
When some clown jumps up to get beat down[00:05:18]
Broken down to his very last compound[00:05:21]
See how it sounds A little unrational[00:05:23]
A lot of MC's like to use the word dramatical[00:05:26]
Fresh for 88[00:05:29]
You suckas[00:05:30]
