So yo kris my mellow my man yo[00:00:42]
Get on the mic and do the best you can[00:00:45]
Well the teacher comes to you in effect[00:00:48]
From a different style a whole different sect[00:00:50]
I inject force and intellect[00:00:52]
When i hit the mic suckers hit the deck[00:00:55]
I come correct and practice what i preach[00:00:57]
I don't pimp you or rule you i teach[00:01:00]
Come through the doors and slap up whores[00:01:02]
Ordering them to put back on their drawers[00:01:04]
Cause i run their pimp[00:01:07]
When i leave he leaves with a limp[00:01:10]
Shrimp i got the tartar sauce[00:01:12]
Never underestimate the power of the force[00:01:14]
Of the intellectual krs-one[00:01:17]
I don't think yet my job is done because[00:01:19]
I stand alone while others have to verify[00:01:22]
Just why they are thought to be fly[00:01:24]
Makin the public believe that they are way up in the sky[00:01:27]
Sort of like a rap superguy[00:01:30]
But i horrify and terrify the super duper rap guy[00:01:31]
Because you're soft as a lullaby[00:01:35]
While they sit on their throne lookin[00:01:37]
Well i'm walkin in the streets of brooklyn[00:01:39]
Or harlem and queens and bronx and[00:01:42]
I'm even out there walkin in compton[00:01:44]
Cause everywhere bdp is schoolin[00:01:46]
So anywhere krs is coolin[00:01:48]
I'm not foolin cause no i'm not a fool[00:01:51]
Don't act stupid boy you know the rules[00:01:54]
Word aiyyo kris they act like they don't know the rules[00:01:56]
But yo i tell you what[00:01:59]
Yo get on the mic and tell em what makes up krs-one[00:02:00]
Yaknowhati'msayin huh and ya don't stop[00:02:03]
Yo from off the sidewalk i grab the mic and talk[00:02:05]
Born nineteen-sixty-five in the state of new york[00:02:08]
My name is kris parker krs-one for short[00:02:10]
I slap up crews and rock parties for sport[00:02:13]
Lived on the streets about eight years straight[00:02:15]
There i got my education and learned to debate[00:02:18]
So when i pick up the microphone i know what i'm sayin[00:02:20]
Education doesn't come from simply obeyin[00:02:23]
The curriculum of the school criteria[00:02:25]
In fact what i learned i found inferior[00:02:27]
I'm not a muslim but i do support them[00:02:30]
My father in heaven taught me and taught them[00:02:33]
I'm not a christian but i won't diss em[00:02:35]
I'm not a jew i don't practice judaism[00:02:37]
I'm not a buddhist but buddha's a master[00:02:39]
I don't eat beef pork nor diet shasta[00:02:42]
Reason for this is very simple indeed[00:02:45]
When it comes to music everybody's in need[00:02:47]
You got wealthy artists spendin money loosely[00:02:49]
You ask about the culture they talk 'bout gucci[00:02:52]
Metaphysics the science of life[00:02:55]
And how to live free from strife[00:02:57]
Walk with ease and no disease[00:02:59]
Understand that i am the breeze[00:03:02]
And the trees oceans and seas[00:03:04]
And the b and the d and the p's[00:03:07]
Suckers try it but i don't buy it[00:03:09]
When i speak you seek to stay quiet[00:03:12]
Shut up what what you better stay cool[00:03:14]
And heed the warning boy you know the rules [00:03:16]
Ah one two yeah and ya don't stop[00:03:19]
Ah three four (say what ) and ya don't stop[00:03:21]
Ah five six (pop pop) and ya don't stop[00:03:24]
Ah seven eight (get down) and ya don't stop[00:03:26]

(foot shufflin) moonshine (hamhock eatin) pickled-pig tuggin[00:03:31]
(tap dancin) jheri curl activist (program directors)[00:03:35]
