KRS One


featuring Channel Live 

Knowledge where the people at? 
Free Mumia! 
Channel Live! (KRS One come and represent) 
(The wisdom) 
Hah hah hah hah hah hahaha! 
Free Mumia! 

Everywhere I look there's another house negro 
Talkin about they people and how they should be equal 
They talkin but the conversation ain't goin nowhere 
You can't diss hip hop so don't you even go there 
C. Delores Tucker you wanna quote the scripture 
Everytime you hear nigga, listen up sista 

Verse One: Hakim, KRS, Tuffy 

I met up with this girl named Delores, a prankster 
I said I MC, she said, "You're a gangster" 
But she was caught up, she hit the floor like a breakdance 
Wrapped her up like the arms in a b-boy stance 
Recognize moms I'm one of your sons I'm hip-hop 
in the form of Channel Live and KRS-One 
Representin MC's across America 
She said, "You're the one who be causin all that mass hysteria" 

Wisdom shall come out of the mouths of babes and sucklings 
But you blinded by cultural ignorance and steady judging 
But judge not, lest ye may be judged 
For the judgment ye judge ye shall surely be judged, you gets no love 

She said, "I like it, that's why I jock it" 
Then I said, "You only on my back because I fill brother's pockets" 
Got em drivin Benzes Jeeps and Rolls Royces 
Attackin me will leave youth with no voices 
The choice is yours not mine hang with me 
I'll have you freestyle and bombin graffiti 
We can cut it up like like wax 
Claimin I cause violence but America was violent before rap, FACT 

Chorus: KRS-One 

Warner, Elektra, Atlantic equals WEA 
Instead of fighting them why don't you go free Mumia 
(repeat 2X) 

Verse Two: Tuffy, KRS, Hakim 

Wild recital, I kicks the vital, like the _Final 
Call_ as I watch, Babylon fall 
I had to Rush Limbaugh, get that pig with an axe 
Tuffy dips to the side, buckin cannons that's phat 
Because he censors the uses of the metaphor 
You can get the dick bum up 
Because it's you that brings the, real horrorcore 
Expenditures forgettin, gut from the poor 

Why sure! Back before we were born they sold us out 
Yeah Dade Jackson we know what you about 
Youse a Slave Mason, not a Free Mason 
Before long the Goddess Tiamat through hip-hop you'll be facin 
Don't start me, cause I be the, lyricist 
At the nineteen ninety-nine millenium party held at Giza 
Sayin he's a, fraud, oh my Goddess 
Never in your life should you disrespect an artist 
Instead, focus your attention on astronomy 
And the up and coming, shift in the economy 
If you can't do that, then heed the final call 
To free Mumia, Abu-Jamal 

Hate to be so rough, it could be the White Owls 
House niggaz are full of crap, like my Colin Powell 
Kickin vowels, is how we relieve the tension 
Until we start to bounce white people like suspension (revolution) 
You paint the pictures, the black man on the corner 
But tell me, who blew up Oklahoma? 
The City, ain't no pity, for the beast 
It's Hakim that voice from the East 

Chorus 

Verse Three: KRS, Hakim, Tuffy 

Buck buck! Buck buck buck! 
It sound like gunshots but it could be the plot 
of a chicken, definition, is what you're missin and 
listen to your children instead of dissin em 
Senator Dole doesn't understand the young people 
Like they be sayin want to, but we be sayin wanna 
They gettin dumber every summer as they walk the rope 
Maybe because they cannot understand the quotes 

Word, in actuality, this Norman Bates mentality 
always seems to represent, minus three-sixty percent 
For degrees full circle, dead from the purple 
rays of the sun I gots melanin so check it 
Bag your nuts quick or get sick from being naked 
Suspect it, was it a means for the end 
For just a few to drive the Benz while you eat the pigskins 
Turned you into mannequins, cause the trick of technology 
A revelation, revalations 
Sensation gives me inspiration of revolution 
That's my solution, there will be no sequels 
I'm audi hundred forty four thousand with my people 

From Caligula to Hitler, now it's Schwartzeneggar 
A lust for the violence is the science of their behavior 
Who enslaved ya (it's the Devil) but the God of virtuosity 
And of the world created, could it be mental sodomy 
Got my mind twisted like the blades of fonta leaf 
I sit in disbelief as he crawls underneath 
the rock cock back the glock, cause I don't trust 
the Devil I rebel until Babylon is dust 

Chorus
