[KRS-One]
Who was the first to flash the heat on the cover?
Who was the first crew to go against another?
Who was the first to go acapella on a video replay?
Who was the first to lose a DJ?
Who was the first to teach at Yale?
Who was the first to hit that hip-hop reggae, on the nail?
Who was the first to say +Stop the Violence+
- Black Cop
KRS-One - Black Cop
Buck buck buck-buck-buck, buck-buck buck buck!
All rude bwoy lissen up!
Black cop!! Black cop black cop black cop
Stop shootin black people, we all gonna drop
- False Pride
[KRS-One]
Okay now, listen to this..
[Seagull sounds]
A mystical teacher sat by the seaside
It was about five o'clock cause we heard the free ride
Anyway; the teacher was talking in stride
Sitting upon a rock that was wide
And warning against false pride
- Jam Master Jay Tribute
Where the real at!
Where the real at!
Yeah!
Yo
Where I come from gats bust for nothin'
Thugs, ministers, cops, teachers, all be hustlin'
Your family's the only one ya trustin'
- Keep Movin
Yo turn me up just a bit, so I can hear it and spit
Reverse spit, and get tips, rehearse a hit and take tricks
Research the art just a bit, don't let me start I won't quit
But if I start I'm a flip, just like I'm starting the whip
Putting the key into it, mentally seeing it
G.O.D. believing in it, I get a fee when I spit
See-L-you-be's I just rip, I'm lyrically well equipped
Over the beats and the mix, I keep the streets in a fit
- Know thy self
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
[repeat 3X]
Know thy self, and thou shalt know
The universe and God (whoa-ohh-ohh)
- Out For Fame
I got twenty-five cans in my knapsack, crossin out the wick-wack
Puttin up my name with a fat cap
Suckers that want to be in my face I just slap that
Big respect to Artifacts, Fat Joey Crack and
Mack and, Bio, and Brim come again
With B.G. 183, recognize me
With the mad colors, I'm a fiend for spraypaint
Laugh if you wanna, I really care if you ain't
- Ova Here
Uh, ha, uh, ha
Another inebriated beat
You know what time it is
Straight for the street
- Rockin' Til The Morning
Yeah, yeah, yeah this what we live for!
Let it rock, let it
(Big up to all Brooklyn man, all Bronx man)
(Uptown massive, follow)
We can all be hear rockin 'til the mor-ning
Boom, bap, and rap is what I bring
We love, the clubs and we rock them
- Shutupayouface
Yeah, whassup?
Whassamatta you? (You) Why you lookin so sad (so sad)
KRS is back (he's back!) But you don't look so glad
Ahh shutupayouface!
Look at this place!
Why was I chosen to pick up the race?
And carry the flame, the torch, the name?
millennium games, it's all the same
- Splash
Word up, it's just a little somethin' to tide you over
Word up, the KRS style album comin' soon, KRS-One
All in the room, we gonna bounce these cats this year
Word up, why they do this? Ha, yo, yo
I climb up the back of rappers, reach over they head
And rap backwards at 'em, excuse me, madam
I used to throw these Uzi's at 'em
- Stop It
Well my ladies and gentlemen
This is a rapsession and my name is "KRS-One!"
And when I talk about "Hip-Hop Music!", I know
One : Breaking or breakdancing
Rally be-boying, freestyle or streetdancin'
Two : MC'ing or rap
Divine speech what I'm doing right now no act
- The Raptism
So gather round now for the raptism
'Cause if the dogs don't get 'em
The cattle get 'em or the gat'll get 'em
Or the crack'll get 'em
- The Way We Live
"Welcome to hip-hop culture"
We stay hot like Tulsa
Knowledge Reigns Supreme, followed by a number ONE
These rappers they do-run-run
Lyrically they flashin two guns with new funds
But politically they do-run-run
When it's time to build, they chill, gettin nuttin done
But they mouth yes they do-run-run
- What Kinda World
There's no such thing as a government
There's only people rulin over people
People jerkin around people
People lendin a hand to people..
What part of the system do you play?
Who do you oppress? .. Uhh!
- Woke Up
Слышите – мышь идет, видите – мышь идет,
Витя, тикай, идиот.
Чуете – Герми идет, что за лихая несет его,
Глубже ныряй, андервот.
Но вот он рядом у ватерлинии,
Где наши треки галимые (Ай-ай-ай).
Все мы погибли, на сушу возьмите нас,
Рубите языки длинные (мышь-мышь-мышь).
