D J Red Alert he's down with us[00:00:34]
Robocop boy he's down with us[00:00:37]
Makin' funky music is a must[00:00:39]
I'm number one [00:00:42]
People still takin' rappin' for a joke[00:00:53]
A passing hope or a phase with a rope[00:00:55]
Sometimes I choke and try to believe[00:00:58]
When I get challenged by a million MCs[00:01:00]
I try to tell them "We're all in this together "[00:01:03]
My album was raw because no-one would ever[00:01:05]
Think like I think and do what I do[00:01:08]
I stole the show and then I leave without a clue[00:01:11]
What do you think makes up a KRS [00:01:14]
Concisive teaching or very clear speaking [00:01:16]
Ridiculous bass aggravating treble[00:01:19]
Rebel renegade must stay paid[00:01:21]
Not by financial aid but a raid of hits[00:01:24]
Causing me to take long trips[00:01:28]
I'm the original teacher of this type of style[00:01:30]
Rockin' off-beat with a smile[00:01:33]
Or smirk or chuckle yes some are not up to[00:01:35]
BDP Posse so I love to[00:01:38]
Step in the jam and slam[00:01:40]
I'm not Superman because anybody can[00:01:43]
Or should be able to rock off turntables[00:01:45]
Grab the mic plug it in and begin[00:01:47]
But here's where the problem starts no heart[00:01:51]
Because of that a lot of groups fell apart[00:01:53]
Rap is still an art and no-one's from the Old School[00:01:56]
Cuz Rap is still a brand-new tool[00:01:59]
I say no-one's from the Old School cuz Rap on a whole[00:02:02]
Isn't even twenty years old[00:02:05]
Fifty years down the line you can start this[00:02:06]
Cuz we'll be the Old School artists[00:02:10]
And even in that time I'll say a rhyme[00:02:12]
A brand-new style ruthless and wild[00:02:14]
Runnin' around spendin' money havin' fun[00:02:17]
Cuz even then I'm still number one [00:02:19]
Blastmaster KRS-One of course[00:02:33]
Comes to express with style the lost[00:02:35]
Ways of rhyming old and new past and present[00:02:38]
Knock knock who is it [00:02:42]
A brand-new style hup time to change[00:02:43]
People talk about me when they see me on stage[00:02:46]
Live in action guaranteed raw[00:02:49]
I hang with the rich and I work for the poor[00:02:51]
Now tomorrow you can say you saw[00:02:54]
KRS-One stompin' once more[00:02:57]
I play by ear I love to steer[00:02:59]
The Alfa Romeo from here to there[00:03:02]
I grab the beer but not in the ride[00:03:04]
Cuz I'm not stupid I don't drink and drive[00:03:07]
I'm not a beginner amateur or local[00:03:10]
My album is sellin' because of my vocals[00:03:12]
You know what you need to learn [00:03:16]
Old School artists don't always burn[00:03:18]
You're just another rapper who's had his turn[00:03:20]
Now it's my turn and I am concerned[00:03:23]
About idiots posing as kings[00:03:25]
What are we here to rule [00:03:28]
I thought we were supposed to sing[00:03:29]
And if we oughta sing then let us begin to teach[00:03:30]
Many of you are educated open your mouth and speak[00:03:33]
KRS-One is something like a total renegade[00:03:35]
Except I don't steal I rhyme to get paid[00:03:38]
Airplanes flyin' overseas people dyin'[00:03:41]
Politicians lyin' I'm tryin'[00:03:45]
Not to escape but hit the problem head-on[00:03:47]
By bringin' out the truth in a song[00:03:49]
So BDP short for Boogie Down Productions[00:03:52]
Made a little noise cuz the crew was sayin' somethin'[00:03:54]
People have the nerve to take me for a gangster[00:03:57]
An ignorant one something closer to a prankster[00:04:00]
Doin' petty crimes goin' straight to penitentiary[00:04:02]
But in a scale of crime that's really elementary[00:04:04]
This beat is now compelling me to explain in silence[00:04:08]
Why my last jam was so violent[00:04:11]
It's simple: BDP will teach reality[00:04:13]
No beatin' around the bush straight up [00:04:15]
Just like The P Is Free[00:04:17]
So now you know a poet's job is never done[00:04:19]
But I'm never overworked cuz I'm still number one [00:04:21]
Kool Moe Dee he's down with us[00:04:29]
Eric B and Rakim they're down with us[00:04:31]
Stetsasonic they're down with us[00:04:34]
Dana Dane he's down with us[00:04:37]
Sleeping Bag Records they're down with us[00:04:39]
My lawyer Jay he's down with us[00:04:42]
Jive/RCA is down with us[00:04:45]
Makin' funky music is a must[00:04:47]
I'm number one[00:04:50]
