See I am a musician Rappin on the mic like this to me is fine Cause if I really want to battle I will put out a nine You can see that scott larock and I are mentally binded In other words were both criminal minded Verse two: krs-one Were not promoting violence, were just havin some fun Hes scott larock, Im krs-one Never off-beat cause it dont make sense Grab the microphone, relaxed and not tense You waited, debated, and now you activated A musical genius that could not be duplicated See I have the formula for rockin the house If you cannot rock a party do not open your mouth Its that simple, no phony cosmetics to your pimple Take another look because the gear is not wrinkled The k, the r, the s, the o, the n, the e Sayin rhyme for eighty-seven not from 1983 Well versed, to rehearse, and my rhymes are my curse Originality come first but the suckers get worse Allow me to include I have a very stable mood Poetic education of a high altitude Im not an mc, so listen, call me poet or musician A genius when it comes to making music with ambition Im cool, collected with the rhyme I directed Dont wanna be elected as the king of a record Just respected by others as the man with the solution An artist of the 80s came and left his contribution On wax, relax, theres 24 tracks After years of rocking parties now I picked up the knack Because everything that flows from out my larynx Takes years of experience and bottles of becks I cannot seem to recollect the time I didnt have sex Is it real or is it memorex? Im livin in a city known as new york state Sucka mcs gotta wait while I translate I hang with real live dreads with knowledge in their heads People with ambition and straight up musicians Although our lives have been so uprooted I have it included, you all get zooted So take each letter of the krs-one Means knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everyone You look at me and laugh, but this is your class Its an all-out discussion of the suckas I be crushin So now you are awakened to the music I be makin Never duplicated, and also highly cultivated Dont get frustrated cause nothin has been traded Only activated, it came out very complicated Not separated, from my dj You see my voice is now faded Ill see you folks around the way Criminal minded...
