Conscious Rapper Lyrics - Spiritual Minded - Krs One

You think this is easy right? (Yeah!) 

You think this is easy right? (That's easy!) 

You think you got what it takes? (Yeah that's easy!) 

Huh, we gon' see.. we gon' see right now (Now what?) 

Look 

 

So you wanna be a conscious rapper 

Can you handle the press and they negative chatter 

Can you eat cold platters, and still spit data 

Watchin others spit lies and they pockets get fatter 

Can you climb up the ladder, and reach the top? 

But it still doesn't matter, cause you ain't pop 

Can you rock for the love of the art 

Can you drop hit after hit after hit and still don't chart? 

Can you REALLY stay loyal to God 

when your life is full of strife, plus it always seems so hard 

Can you handle the criticism 

People holdin you up to higher standards, but they don't live 'em? 

Can you hear these kiddy flows and laugh at it 

But when you spit they callin you arrogant? 

You better think about that before you rock to this 

Sometimes it's easier to pop your Cris', let's do it! 

 

[Chorus] 

Think you can do what I do 

Think you can step in my shoes 

You have no clue what I go through 

You never felt my pain 

When they attack my name 

All because I have spoken the truth 

 

To be a conscious rapper ain't a mystery 

You gotta laugh when they call you contradictory 

The whole industry, you gotta push and pull it 

To really get with me, you gotta dodge they bullets 

Blaow, blaow, blaow, every day and every way 

You critics got somethin to say 

At the same time, you gotta uphold Christ 

Uphold life, while others flash cars and ice 

It could break you down, take you down, make you frown 

It could actually shake your ground 

But if you love who you are, and believe in that 

Best believe you will BE where the teacher's at 

And where's that? In fact, in cold or heat 

Yes, I declare victory over the streets 

Overstand, over these beats, over the so-called elite 

Over the strong, over the weak 

I know how to speak, and most of all I know how to eat 

I know I want humble and meek 

So you better think about that before you rock to this 

Sometimes it's easier to pop your Cris', uhh 

 

[Chorus] 

 

Look! 

So you thinkin about bein a concious MC 

Well you gotta love God and you got to live free 

You got to see the life that others can't see 

You got to be the person that others can't be 

You can't be a S-L-A, V-E 

If you sayin to yourself, "This may be me" 

Then you know goin in that you work against sin 

Your very skills will kill the demons within 

So don't expect respect from slaves and hoes 

Nor the slavemaster's video shows 

Nor the rap mags, you know how it go 

Especially black mags, you know they don't know 

Just go to the crowd that you know will need you 

Cause NOTHING compares to the respect of the people 

That's what you look for, that's what you work with 

Cause anything else, is truly worthless 

You better think about that before you rock to this 

Sometimes it's easier to just pop your Cris' 

You better think about that, 'fore you rock to this 

Sometimes it's easier to just pop your Cris', uhh 

 

[Chorus: x2]
