It’s that simple, no phony cosmetics to your pimple Ya suckaz don’t like me 'cause you’re all about nothin' My English grammar comes down like a hammer But their brain is not ready, I don’t know You need a style, I need to pull your file If this was a class, well, it would go right under drama Sucka MC’s gotta wait while I translate But how many times must I point you in the right direction Because everything that flows from out my larynx I write and produce myself just as fast Free as a bird to fly up out on stage Page, a rage and I’m not in a cage Don’t wanna be elected as the king of a record I’ll see you folks around the way It’s an all out discussion of the suckas I be crushin' Although our lives have been so uprooted See I am a musician I mean this is not the best of KRS, it’s just a section We’re not promoting violence, we’re just havin' some fun Grab the microphone, relaxed and not tense It’s a shame to know some MC’s on the mic are fraud Takes years of experience and bottles of beck’s However, I’m really fascinating to the letter Well versed, to rehearse and my rhymes are my curse I’ve listened to these mc’s back when I was a kid Criminal minded, you’ve been blinded Never off-beat cause it don’t make sense In other words we’re both criminal minded Remember to let us into your skin Don’t get frustrated cause nothin' has been traded DJ Scott La rock has a college degree, Blast master KRS writes poetry See I have the formula for rockin' the house Publisher: UNIVERSAL MUSIC - Z TUNES LLC. Keep my hair like this, got no time for Jheri curls Ain’t here for no frontin' just to say a little somethin' Just respected by others as the man with the solution Sometimes the suckas on the side gotta hear this Only activated, it came out very complicated People with ambition and straight up musicians So take each letter of the KRS-one You waited, debated and now you activated 'Cause then you’ll begin, to master rhymin', rhymin', rhymin' Especially when you’re not, college material I won’t go deeper in the subject 'cause that gets me bored 'Cause girls look so good Take another look because the gear is not wrinkled Boogie down productions will always get paid Wake up every morning to your lucky charms cereal Originality come first but the suckers get worse 'Cause her mind is so steady, so here we go Sayin' styles like this to create a diss I cannot seem to recollect the time I didn’t have sex On wax, relax, there’s 24 tracks After years of rocking parties now I picked up the knack Never duplicated, and also highly cultivated You look at me and laugh but this is your class Allow me to include I have a very stable mood I hang with real live dreads with knowledge in their heads But if you listen, who you dissin'? Rappin' on the mic like this to me is fine Means knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone I’m cool, collected with the rhyme I directed Talkin', big words on the mic but still irrelevant A genius when it comes to making music with ambition He’s Scott La rock, I’m KRS-one Not separated, from my DJ you see my voice is now faded Songwriters: S Larock, Lawrence Parker We’ll take the wackiest song and make it better I don’t beg favors, you’re kissing other people’s You need protection, when I’m on the mic A musical genius that could not be duplicated Lookin' for a style like mine you can’t find it Sayin' rhyme for eighty-seven not from 1983 If you cannot rock a party do not open your mouth Because my mouth is like a 9 millimeter windpipe I’d rather talk to a woman 'Cause if I really want to battle I will put out a nine My all around performance gets better and better They are the audience, I am the lyricist See kings lose crowns but teachers stay intelligent I’m not a musical maniac or boy fanatic You can see that Scott La rock and I are mentally binded So now you are awakened to the music I be makin' The K, the R, the S, the O, the N, the E Criminal minded I’m not an MC, so listen, call me poet or musician You’re a king, I’m a teacher, you’re a boy, I’m a scholar But I bust more shots than they ever did I simply made use of what was upstairs in the attic I’m livin' in a city known as New York state Attractin' only women, got no time for little girls Is it real or is it memorex? Poetic education of a high altitude I have it included, you all get zooted An artist of the 80’s came and left his contribution
