KRS One


Of course we have just accepted all applications and tuition will be paid on

You you can't can't be be ripping the mic the mic 
like do re me me measels are contagious like my lyrical pages 
ripping and flipping the mic 
from back in the back in the days the days its kinda hectic hectic 
when these suckas don't respect it check it. Flame on. 
I know the light is bright but keep on watching me 
I'm stolen property, kicking the flavor to society. 
Police be clocking me, but logically they got to be 
cause they were taught that serious poetry would come from Socrates. 
But that ain't it, in 94 I'll kick the hit 
and if I was in front of Shakespear, battle a punk and take his shit. 
I'm not having it, 
bust a narrative and come to get with it. 
Rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live. 
The difference is kids nowadays, they got the videos. 
Rappers don't need skills to build so they don't really know. 
Hear me yo, I'm four times on Arsenio, 
got ten videos, but does that help me flow? No. 
That's why when I come to the show MC's act like they don't know 
cause they were too young to rock up in the disco 
Frisco disco the disc is like a Nabisco 
chocolate chip cookie, don't fuck with me rookie. 
I'm rocking beats and 
with death defying feats and 
I'm never sneaking 
always peeping when I'm speaking 
inside I'm keeping a statement for police and 
I'm down for peace and but not turn the other cheek and 
so this DJ, he gets down 
mixing records while they go 
round and round round we go 
two years ago a friend of mine 
and Flash is gonna rock your mind 
welcome to the Terrordome, the Terrordome 
I wonder if I take you home 
E-F-F-E-C-T a cool operator operating correctly 
but back in the day I knew rap would never die 
too late baby bwai 
bai in a body boy head head 
head insane in the membrane 
take the train, take the train 
M-E-T-H-O-D Man 
'Hattan keeps on making it 
Brooklyn keeps on taking it 
We keep coming back with more and more hits 
party people, I came through the door, I said it before 
Two years ago, super hoe 
If my train goes off the track, 
pick it up, pick it up, pick it up back back 
back to the grill again, the grill again 
friends 
how many MC's must get dissed? 
Before somebody says don't fuck with Chris 
Hey! Ho! Keep on moving don't stop no 
body beats the Biz 
Let's do the dance called the Pee Wee Herman 
Hey, Erick Sermon, Hey 
you you get off my cloud, 
go down baby, go down baby, the gods must be crazy 
you ain't fresh, you ain't fresh 
Yeah!
