Lyrics

One two, testing one two
Alright, party people in the place to be
The party has already started
An-an-an-and it's about to il-il-il-ill
Let me introduce you to another type of rapper MC
Where glamour and glitter don't matter, gently
I'm tired of the Chattanooga empty
Classical like a German Luger
Deep like a tuba, scuba dive, and ooh, in lava, hyper
Like I said before my radar's going, bibbit, bibbit
The microphone, I grip-it grip-it, lyric, lyric, I live it
Hear it, my spirit is where it should be
Don't push me if you pussy, huh
I spot 'em, it seems you want to ride the dillz
I got em, KRS got skills in the place
I waste megahertz of bass bottom, chill
As I rock 'em and get ill, I build the perfect spot to kill
Verbal excitement will lead to your indictment
Whether or not you like it, still, number one, I hype it
Your album, rewrite it
How many MC's, wannabemceez
Never be MC's, 'cause they can't MC
How many MC's, wannabemceez
Never be MC's, 'cause they can't MC
Triplet syllables for minimal criminals
Lyrical riddles that got hard flavors in the middle
Sit back and chittle as I, standing still, rebuild on skills
The admission of serial lyrics, calculated to weaken the spirit
Will be diverted by this lyric, when you hear it
Ricochet any style any day
Any which way and you'll Cherish the Day like Sade
The advanced oratorical techniques I speak
Keep the heat at full peak, my grammar
With stamina, grabs a rapper like the fresh catch of the day
And crack the back of that DJ
I'm strappin' and attackin' a pack
And whatever happens after that just happens, fact
Flamboyant and flashy is one point in time when you're not ashy
Focus on the syllable formats and the cash, G
G for guard your grill, I'm hard to kill
Odd but ill, a job to fill is to refill on skill
We built and killed style and skill
While poetically reprimanding you like a child, I will
Get ill, and switch to earn
'Cause I prefer to slur but not blur
Blurring, you're stirring up trouble, surely you don't need it
Be seated, I'm undefeated, them not see it
Observe me, then beat it
How many MC's, wannabemceez
Never be MC's, 'cause they can't MC
How many MC's, wannabemceez
Never be MC's, 'cause they can't MC
Let's get back to the point quickly, get with me
The voice from New York City is too witty
I come from a era of OJ cars, Latin Quarter
Fake Gucci and fake Fendi, you can't send me
Nowhere that I ain't been to
You can't tell me nothin' that I ain't been through
Disrespect the teacher, I gots to get you
'Cause they can't MC
But what you really sayin'?
You sound like a bitch-ass rapper when he's saying
"Yo, Kris you hit too hard, stop playing"
Switching and swaying
Day in and day out, your styles are played out, see you way out
Before you're laid out, your bright lights start to fade out
The last thing you heard is, "Who let the K out?"
No gray area
Everything is black and white, we took the gray out, it's scarier
Either you're winnin' or losin, spinnin' a rules of conscience
But lyrically there ain't no stoppin'
I'm droppin' a lot in your noggin'
'Cause I know that you're lyrically starvin'
Carvin' your name, battle, battle
Everybody wants to battle but you babble
Who knows ya, battlin' me, is the only way that you can gain exposure?
I feel for ya soldier
I hate to say it but I told ya so
You know that I know the ancient flow KRS-One
Is the holder of a boulder, yo, money folder, yo
You want a fresh style, let me show you slow
Your blow, I'm not your foe
Battling me? No, no, no, no, no, no, no
How many MC's, wannabemceez
Never be MC's, 'cause they can't MC
How many MC's, wannabemceez
Never be MC's, 'cause they can't MC
If a DJ think he man he better prepare for war
BDP crew get up in that ass like a piece of toilet tissue
General Lion, I chase them all and I am on fire
Represent the hardest crew, you know how we do
Anything test, dead, gun shot to them head
Go on
