[KRS-One]. We crush, them, and they click. Let me tell you right now what you supposed to get. You supposed to get free and intelligent. Not a platinum plaque, that's irrelevant.
[Repeat: x2]. Lord live within my heart.. Lord don't you ever stop... Fill me up with what I need.. just have to ask I shall receive... . [KRS-One]. Look, look!.
You ready to go? I'm ready to go. What about y'all, y'all ready to go?. Yeah aight yeah. I'm ready to go, look. . Know thy self and thou shalt know, the universe and God.
Justin is the pimp on the block. He smacks and cracks around hoes a lot. Every day around three o'clock. You can hear all the nasty talk. He loves the disease infested little whores.
Tell me right now, tell me what's wrong. Please tell me something before I'm gone. It seems like we have come to the end. Should I be listening to all my friends.
I don't understand this man. (It's bullshit). Why they can't ever solve the crime Marley?. Whatever happened with that Scott LaRock case man?. I don't know.
Yes, right about now we got Afrika. From the Jungle Brothers on the wheels of steel. My sister Harmony, right beside me. And I, KRS-One on the mic. Sidney Mills on the keyboards.
What was it like to see. The face of your own stability. Suddenly look away. Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?. Eleven and she was gone.. Eleven is when we waved good-bye..
[Chorus]. It's all a struggle (tryin to make it day to day). It's all a struggle (from my hood to around your way). It's all a struggle (single parents all by theyself).
(One, two, three). Jack, Jack, Jack. Jack, Jack, Jack. (One, two, three). . Again we start, let me say my part. About the only guy who has some heart.
What can we get for 63 cents?. . Cocaine business controls America. Ganja business controls America. KRS-One come to start some hysteria. Illegal business controls America.
Where shall we land, there?. Which city shall we destroy today?. This one, or that one? This one?. . Take a look a look around, we last forever. We carry books around, manuals are bound in leather.
Instead of reading the word of Christ, BE the word of Christ. Instead of following God's word, BE God's word. That's the consciousness of hip-hop. You are not just doing hip-hop, you ARE hip-hop.
[Verse 1]. D.J. Doc you know he's down with us. D-Square, he's down with us. Keyboard Money Mike, is down with us. I.C.U., you know he's down with us.
Do it Marley, ha, killin' 'em. You killin' 'em, where were you?. I wanna talk about these rap historians. Y'all better get it together, where were you?.
Just like I told you, you must learn. It's calm yet wild the style that I speak. Just filled with facts and you will never get weak in the heart. In fact you'll start to illuminate, knowledge to others in a song.
I brrrrrrrrrrrrrring!. Philosophy when I s rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ing!. I step like wildabeasts killll llll lllling!. MC's harming me I sling lllll ling!. Rhymes don't copy me you gots to be crazzzyaaayyyyy.
[Chorus]. Ya feel dat? (HO!) Ya see dat? (HO!). Ya hear dat? (HO!) You believe dat? (HO!). Ya follow dat? (HO!) Could it be dat? (HO!). Ya follow dat? (HO!) Can you believe dat? (HO!).
The day begins with a grin. And a prayer to excuse my sins. I can walk anywhere I choose. 'Cause everybody listens to the B.D.P. crew. . We're not here for glamor or fashion.
Y'know. There's a difference between dreamin' and visualizin'. Which one are you doin'?. . Food gone up, gasoline up. Full time employment passin' me up.
