[ti:My Philosophy (LP Version)] [ar:Boogie Down Productions] [al:Pure... Hip Hop] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]My Philosophy (我的哲学) - Boogie Down Productions [00:00.64]So you're a philosopher [00:02.48]Yes yes yes yes [00:06.06] [00:08.90]Yes [00:09.53]I think very deeply [00:11.08] [00:12.00]I think very deeply [00:13.33] [00:14.47]I think very deeply [00:15.71] [00:17.76]I think I think I think very deeply [00:21.08] [00:21.92]In about four seconds a teacher will begin to speak [00:24.97]I think I think very deeply [00:26.30] [00:26.83]Let us begin what where why or when [00:29.99]Will all be explained like instructions to a game [00:32.16]See I'm not insane in fact I'm kind of rational [00:34.78]When I be asking you Who is more dramatical [00:36.82] [00:37.54]This one or that one the white one or the black one [00:40.01]Pick the punk and I'll jump up to attack one [00:42.08] [00:42.65]KRS-One is just the guy to lead a crew [00:44.69] [00:45.62]Right up to your face and dis you [00:47.04] [00:47.70]Everyone saw me on the last album cover [00:49.49] [00:50.33]Holding a pistol something far from a lover [00:52.69]Beside my brother S-C-O-T-T [00:54.94] [00:55.69]I just laughed 'cause no one can defeat me [00:57.64] [00:58.51]This is lecture number two My Philosophy [01:00.27] [01:00.89]Number one was Poetry you know it's me [01:02.74] [01:03.41]This is my philosophy many artists got to learn [01:05.88]I'm not flammable I don't burn [01:07.96]So please stop burnin' and learn to earn respect [01:10.62]'Cause that's just what KRS collects [01:12.35] [01:13.09]See what do you expect when you rhyme like a soft punk [01:15.58] [01:16.12]You walk down the street and get jumped [01:18.26]You got to have style and learn to be original [01:20.38] [01:21.41]And everybody's gonna want to dis you [01:23.45]Like me we stood up for the South Bronx [01:25.53] [01:26.08]And every sucker MC had a response [01:28.26]You think we care [01:29.62]I know that they are on the tip [01:31.54]My posse from the Bronx is thick [01:33.01] [01:33.62]And we're real live [01:34.79]We roll correctly [01:35.66] [01:36.28]A lot of suckas would like to forget me [01:38.48]But they can't [01:39.64]'Cause like a champ I have got a record [01:41.83]Of knocking out the frauds in a second [01:43.83]On the mic I believe that you should get loose [01:46.37]I haven't come to tell you I got juice [01:48.61]I just produce create [01:49.97]Innovate on a higher level [01:51.64]I'll be back but for now just seckle [01:53.76] [02:04.40]I'll play the nine and you play the target [02:06.70]You all know my name [02:07.74]So I guess I'll just start it [02:09.19]Or should I say start this I am an artist [02:11.98]Of new concepts at their hardest [02:13.67] [02:14.33]Yo 'cause I'm a teacher the Scott is a scholar [02:16.90]It ain't about money 'cause we all make dollars [02:18.71] [02:19.55]That's why I walk with my head up [02:22.21]When I hear wack rhymes I get fed up [02:23.98] [02:24.61]Rap is like a set-up a lot of games [02:27.06] [02:27.66]A lot of suckas with colorful names [02:29.40]I'm so-and-so I'm this I'm that [02:31.44] [02:32.79]Huh but they all just wick-wick-wack [02:34.06] [02:34.73]I'm not white or red or black [02:36.70] [02:37.23]I'm brown from the Boogie Down [02:39.32] [02:40.02]Productions of course our music be thumpin' [02:42.05] [02:42.72]Others say they're bad but they're buggin' [02:45.10]Let me tell you something now about hip-hop [02:47.75]About D-Nice Melodie and Scott LaRock [02:49.68] [02:50.32]I'll get a pen a pencil a marker [02:52.82]Mainly what I write is for the average New Yorker [02:55.10]Some MC's be talkin' and talkin' [02:57.90]Tryin' to show how black people are walkin' [02:59.89] [03:00.56]But I don't walk this way to portray [03:02.39] [03:02.96]Or reinforce stereotypes of today [03:04.73] [03:05.28]Like all my bruthas eat chicken and watermelon [03:07.36] [03:07.89]Talk broken English and drug sellin' [03:09.97] [03:10.54]See I'm tellin' and teachin' real facts [03:12.43] [03:12.98]The way some act in rap is kind of wack [03:15.52] [03:16.34]And it lacks creativity and intelligence [03:17.92] [03:18.46]But they don't care [03:19.55]Cause the company is sellin' it [03:20.99]It's my philosophy on the industry [03:23.39]Don't bother dissin' me or even wish that we'd [03:26.05]Soften dilute or commercialize all the lyrics [03:28.77]'Cause it's about time one of y'all hear it [03:31.19]And hear it first-hand from the intelligent brown man [03:33.69]A vegetarian no goat or ham [03:35.67] [03:36.42]Or chicken or turkey or hamburger [03:38.98]'Cause to me that's suicide self murder [03:41.53]Let us get back to what we call hip-hop [03:43.60] [03:44.39]And what it meant to DJ Scott LaRock [03:45.89] [03:56.61]How many MC's must get dissed [03:58.39] [03:58.97]Before somebody says Don't with Kris [04:01.55]This is just one style out of many [04:04.58]Like a piggy bank this is just one penny [04:06.72]My brother's name is Kenny that's Kenny Parker [04:08.85] [04:09.40]My other brother I C U is much darker [04:11.26] [04:11.79]Boogie Down Productions is made up of teachers [04:14.26]The lecture is conducted from the mic into [04:16.44]The speakers [04:17.19]Who gets weaker The King or the teacher [04:19.36]It's not about a salary it's all about reality [04:21.36] [04:21.90]Teachers teach and do the world good [04:24.45]Kings just rule and most were never understood [04:26.42] [04:26.96]If you were to rule or govern a certain industry [04:29.62]All inside this room right now would be in misery [04:32.29]No one would get along nor sing a song [04:34.76]'Cause everyone'd be singin' for the King [04:36.77]Am I wrong [04:37.32] [04:37.85]So yo what's up it's me again [04:39.52] [04:40.30]Scott LaRock KRS BDP again [04:42.63]Many people had the nerve [04:43.81]To think we would end the trend [04:45.28]We're criminal minded an album which is only ten [04:47.82]Funky funky funky funky funky hit records [04:49.60] [04:50.74]No more than four minutes and some seconds [04:52.82]The competition checks and checks and keeps checkin' [04:55.23]They take the album take it home and start sweatin' [04:57.92]Why Well it's simple to them it's kind of vital [05:00.45]To take KRS-One's title [05:02.48] [05:03.28]To them I'm like an idol some kind of entity [05:05.94]In everybody's rhyme they want to mention me [05:08.10]Or rather mention us me or Scott LaRock [05:10.04] [05:10.58]But they can get bust get robbed get dropped [05:13.13]I don't play around nor do I f around [05:15.74]And you can tell by the bodies that are left around [05:18.24]When some clown jumps up to get beat down [05:20.32] [05:21.24]Broken down to his very last compound [05:23.76]See how it sounds A little unrational [05:25.55] [05:26.19]A lot of MC's like to use the word dramatical [05:28.23] [05:29.04]Fresh for 88 [05:30.92]You suckas
