[00:00.93]Boogie down productions will always get paid
[00:04.62]

[00:20.18]Rhymin rhymin rhymin
[00:22.24]
[00:23.12]Criminal minded you've been blinded
[00:25.48]Lookin for a style like mine you can't find it
[00:28.10]They are the audience I am the lyricist
[00:30.72]Sometimes the suckas on the side gotta hear this
[00:33.35]Page a rage and I'm not in a cage
[00:36.15]Free as a bird to fly up out on stage
[00:38.59]Ain't here for no frontin just to say a little somethin
[00:41.15]Ya suckaz don't like me cause you're all about nothin
[00:43.89]However I'm really fascinating to the letter
[00:46.58]My all-around performance gets better and better
[00:49.25]My english grammar comes down like a hammer
[00:51.87]You need a style I need to pull your file
[00:54.57]I don't beg favors you're kissing other people's
[00:57.06]I write and produce myself just as fast
[00:59.81]Keep my hair like this got no time for jheri curls
[01:03.41]Attractin only women got no time for little girls
[01:05.22]Cause girls look so good
[01:07.04]But their brain is not ready I don't know
[01:10.02]I'd rather talk to a woman
[01:11.77]Cause her mind is so steady so here we go
[01:15.40]I'm not a musical maniac or b-boy fanatic
[01:18.32]I simply made use of what was upstairs in the attic
[01:20.95]I've listened to these mc's back when I was a kid
[01:23.51]But I bust more shots than they ever did
[01:26.00]I mean this is not the best of krs it's just a section
[01:28.87]But how many times must I point you in the right direction
[01:31.87]You need protection when I'm on the mic
[01:34.05]Because my mouth is like a 9 millimeter windpipe
[01:35.98]You're a king I'm a teacher
[01:37.48]You're a b-boy I'm a scholar
[01:39.10]If this was a class well it would go right under drama
[01:42.03]See kings lose crowns but teachers stay intelligent
[01:44.66]Talkin big words on the mic but still irrelevant
[01:47.35]Especially when you're not college material
[01:49.97]Wake up every morning to your lucky charms cereal
[01:52.65]Dj scott larock has a college degree
[01:54.70]Blastmaster krs writes poetry
[01:56.89]I won't go deeper in the subject cause that gets me bored
[02:00.51]It's a shame to know some mc's on the mic are fraud
[02:03.32]Sayin styles like this to create a diss
[02:05.68]But if you listen who you dissin
[02:07.31]See I am a musician
[02:08.62]Rappin on the mic like this to me is fine
[02:11.00]Cause if I really want to battle I will put out a nine
[02:13.80]You can see that scott larock and I are mentally binded
[02:16.42]In other words we're both criminal minded
[02:19.67]
[02:40.12]We're not promoting violence we're just havin some fun
[02:42.87]He's scott larock I'm krs-one
[02:45.24]Never off-beat cause it don't make sense
[02:48.18]Grab the microphone relaxed and not tense
[02:50.80]You waited debated and now you activated
[02:53.67]A musical genius that could not be duplicated
[02:56.22]See I have the formula for rockin the house
[02:58.60]If you cannot rock a party do not open your mouth
[03:01.40]It's that simple no phony cosmetics to your pimple
[03:04.22]Take another look because the gear is not wrinkled
[03:06.65]The k the r the s the o the n the e
[03:09.51]Sayin rhyme for eighty-seven not from 1983
[03:12.32]Well versed to rehearse and my rhymes are my curse
[03:14.57]Originality come first but the suckers get worse
[03:17.07]Allow me to include I have a very stable mood
[03:19.93]Poetic education of a high altitude
[03:22.25]I'm not an mc so listen call me poet or musician
[03:25.19]A genius when it comes to making music with ambition
[03:27.88]I'm cool collected with the rhyme I directed
[03:30.57]Don't wanna be elected as the king of a record
[03:33.18]Just respected by others as the man with the solution
[03:35.74]An artist of the 80's came and left his contribution
[03:38.42]On wax relax there's 24 tracks
[03:40.98]After years of rocking parties now I picked up the knack
[03:43.54]Because everything that flows from out my larynx
[03:46.17]Takes years of experience and bottles of beck's
[03:48.67]I cannot seem to recollect the time I didn't have ***
[03:51.61]Is it real or is it memorex
[03:53.54]I'm livin in a city known as new york state
[03:56.72]Sucka mc's gotta wait while I translate
[03:59.22]I hang with real live dreads with knowledge in their heads
[04:02.27]People with ambition and straight up musicians
[04:04.83]Although our lives have been so uprooted
[04:06.90]I have it included you all get zooted
[04:09.08]So take each letter of the krs-one
[04:11.45]Means knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone
[04:13.26]You look at me and laugh but this is your class
[04:16.88]It's an all-out discussion of the suckas I be crushin
[04:20.74]So now you are awakened to the music I be makin
[04:23.36]Never duplicated and also highly cultivated
[04:26.05]Don't get frustrated cause nothin has been traded
[04:28.67]Only activated it came out very complicated
[04:31.42]Not separated from my dj
[04:33.29]You see my voice is now faded
[04:35.23]I'll see you folks around the way
[04:37.04]
