[KRS-One: speaking live]
First of all, I don`t know WHO, y`all saw on this stage before me (aight)
I don`t know WHO, y`all gonna see on this stage after me (true)
But THIS, is REAL.. HIP.. HOP! Worrrrrd UP!
I`m gonna find out tonight, where the real hip-hop
[Intro] + (live response)
The real hip hop is (ova here!!!!)
The real hip hop is (ova here!!!!)
The real hip hop is (ova here!!!!)
Real hip hop is (ova here!!!!)
[Interlude]
Bla-blaow! Bla-blaow!
Clear `em out, clear `em out - word!
{*scratching: Aww yeah!, The real hip-hop, is ova here*}
{*scratching: KRS, come get up in they asses*}
[Verse One]
You ain`t Fo`Reel and you ain`t Universal
Your whole style sounds like a infomercial
You ignoramus, I`m the baddest with the mic apparatus
Challengin the God of rap is madness, I`ll snatch your status
With these elders lookin at Billboard you could stop them
But I got enough albums to make my OWN top ten!
You limited, like the spread of traffic
You bite my style off the radio
so when you speak in fact I hear the static
You better Chillout like Chuck, I kick like three Norrises
One of my sixteen bar rhymes is eight of your choruses
Of course it is, ridiculous
Watch out, I be in the club inconspicuous
Gotcha, on your, hands and knees
Ain`t it about time for some real MC`s?
[Chorus] + (live response)
The real hip hop is (ova here!!!!)
The real hip hop is (ova here!!!!)
Real hip hop is (ova here!!!!)
Real hip hop is (ova here!!!!)
[KRS-One]
Yo yo, Beatminerz, turn up the track a little bit
Gonna do this right now
[Verse Two]
Remix it, don`t re-fix it
First brigade, second brigade - all swords lifted
Formation, classified information
Code red rhyme style accurate articulation
Don`t test my foreign relation
The cats in Brixton, Birmingham and London just waitin
Got my cats in France like ill
Even Africa`s laughin at`cha right along with Brazil
The West Indies? Jus` wan fi kill
Got Canada mad at`cha, Germany heard of me, they seen the skill
Hip-Hop is more than a thrill to us
A dollar bill to us, believe you will trust in that
Cause if you bust at me, on TV, CD
Internet trust that, I WILL BUST BACK
I turn down heat real quick, when I spit
you need the medicine what I speak is so sick
Then again these veteran be better than many men
Forever we hit `em again better than ANY trend they could ever say
In any season, hot warm cold or freezin
When it comes to MCin, we believe in rhymin for a different reason
No frontin, my rhyme style tells you somethin
They rhyme style tells you who they freakin
But you was already told - what does it profit a man
to gain the whole world and lose his soul?
