Perhaps She'll Die (Livin A Lie)

KRS One


Everything over? 
Sounds can't be the end yet 
Nah nah nah we can't go that route 
Uh ahh 
That's what I'm sayin though! 
*applause* 
Yeah everyone gather round gather round 
Now I'm gon' start it off first (why don't you start it off first) 
And you gonna follow me it goes like this 

I'm lookin at this girl who's been livin a lie 
But I don't know why she's livin a lie 
(Perhaps she'll die) 
I'm lookin at this girl tryin to be fly 
But behind the scenes she breaks down and cries 
See she breaks down and cries caise she's livin a lie 
But I don't know why she's livin a lie 
(Perhaps she'll die) 
I'm lookin at this girl she's always high 
Cause she likes to get by by stayin high 
She's always high cause she always cry 
cause she's livin a lie... 
And I don't know why she's livin a lie 
(Perhaps she'll die) 

Yeah, yeah you got it, here we go (check it out) 

I'm lookin at this girl wit her bloodshot eyes 
You could really tell now by the size of her eyes 
She got bloodshot eyes, cause she's always high 
Cause she always cry, cause she's livin a lie 
But I don't really know why she's livin this lie (here we go, one more time) 
(Perhaps she'll die) 

(Yeah, yeah) Last time, last time 

I'm lookin at this girl tryin to hide her face 
Cause she thinks she looks bad and her life is a waste 
See her face she hides cause of her bloodshot eyes 
Cause she always high cause she always crys 
Cause she's livin a lie... 
And I don't know why she's livin a lie 
(Perhaps she'll die) Rrrrrrrahhh! 

You don't really need-a, lyrical teacha 
When I reach you through the particles and ways of the speaker 
What I got to say is positive and negative 
You draw whatever energy you need to live, give and take 
Build and destroy, life and death 
Inhale, exhale, of breath 
The point is yes, everything in life is a choice 
East and West, wack rapeprs or DJ KRS-One 
Dunn I come like the ancients with a drum 
Come along you can hum along or run along 
Sing a song if you wanna sing a song 
This meta-lyrical poet will surely put it on 
I don't wear or count of frauds 
but I can prophesize by lookin in your eyes 
if you're right or wrong, it could be all 
It's always the little things that control the big things 
Undirected mind waves will bring a string 
of unexpected anything until you cipher 
Whether niggative or negative you don't need either 
You need to direct your thinkin through your speakin 
Prevent the negative from leakin out into the atmosphere 
Do I make myself clear? Achieve a major goal this year 
But don't ever step here

Expertism, is lyr, lyr, lyr, lyricism 
My flow, my flow, my flow'll take you over 
My ex, my ex, my expertism 
Is lyr, is lyr, is lyr, lyr-i-cism 
My flow, my flow, my flow'll take you over 
My, my flow'll take you over 
My, my flow'll take you over, like 
My, my flow'll take you over, like...
