[KRS One] + [somebody beatboxing]
Let me tell you bout a crew I know [ba BUM BUM]
Called Boogie Down Productions and they steal the show [ba BUM BUM]
With DJ Scott LaRock and KRS One
[ba bum ba ba bum ba bum ba bum bababababababababa]
With D Nice you know the job is done
and I know [boom ba bum] oh yes I know [ba boom ba bum]
I know because I`m KRS One yo check this out
[beatbox continues in the background]
[KRS-One]
Breath control.. here`s an example
I appeal, to the +Criminal Minded+
You can`t find it, boy you`re still blinded
Why don`t you open your eyes and stop DISSIN
Get a prescription to listen
Sit in the class and ask real fast about a FRESH RAP
You`re gettin left back, set back, kept back
Get back, I don`t accept that material
Your rhymes are artificially flavored like cereal
I like clarity, so when you come here
speak clear and concise and then I might give
a little slack to.. nah, wait - I take that back
If you`re wack, I`ll slap, FUCK THAT!
Boogie Down Productions back, simply cause we never left
the radical sounds of KRS
What a mess, to roll up and then `fess
Wild guess huh, you thought you were the best?
But - yup yup - as it always turns out
You get burned out, your rhymes just run out
I immediately come out, BOOMIN dope and
don`t provoke, you`re walkin a very thin rope
Not even rope, the word I`m lookin for is string
When I sing, I sing to try and bring
enlightenment, yet the suckers be bitin it
Radio`s fightin it, the fans be likin it
Your face I`m wipin it, cause your mouth is dirty
You`re unworthy to THINK that you can serve me
You heard me? These styles are universal
You need rehearsal, wait, first I`ll
beef up the system, rhyth, rhymin, timin, climbin
Then realizing
As producer of this dope record huh
I think it`s time we break for a second
Breath control..
[KRS-One]
That`s it, that`s it, that`s it
Break is over, back to the track
Resume attack, on the crews that are wack
We don`t lack, I mean, we don`t like
the played out styles when we`re rockin the mic
The radical rebel at level fifteen
The amp only goes to ten, you know what I mean?
As it seems, it seems that you`re doomed
Yes I`ll boom and consume the WHOLE room
Not a part, not a fraction or a sum
but ALL, capital KRS-One
B-D-B-D-B-D-B-D-P
Takin MC`s out constantly!
Because you`re no big deal, you`re no big wheel
You steal, come before me and kneel but
I`m not a king, I`m not a queen, I`m not a ace
I`m not a jack, I`m not a MC or a playboy
and I just ain`t wack
I feel that you should get an understanding
You might be jamming, but KRS-One is slamming
Hypothetically, or in reality
Takin you out, is a SMALL technicality
Rhymes like these, or rhymes like THIS ONE
comes in handy, while I diss some
soft silly low budget sucker like yourself
I got the style you need, in my house on the shelf
labelled, sucker boy style
I like to do it every once in a while..
