Lyrics

(Kenny)Yeah. whoo! Aiyyo Will?
 (Will)Whassup Kenny?
 (Kenny)I got a serious problem man
 (Will)What's the problem?
 (Kenny)Yo after all these years of rippin shit
 These suckers still try to front!
 (Will)But check this out we've been on tour
 with everybody so I don't know why they frontin
 (Kenny)Everybody!
 Y'all be in every party I be in every jam
 I see they faces and they look at me and front
 (Will)They come to every show and know we
 break shit up all the time
 (Kenny)You know what. yo Kris, what's your opinion?
 (KRS-One)
 Yo, I love the way I am and can't nobody out here change me
 Rearrange me, tame me, try to game me, you don't play me
 When I grab the mic then SHOCK the party spot
 Your rhymes are flip-flop, I'll rock, hip-hop
 Non-stop, me nah stop rock
 You CAN touch this, but you'll get shot
 Now what's this all about? Kris and humanity
 In my face you're happy, on vinyl you're mad at me
 Yo, pro-blackness is your solution
 But I don't really know about that style you using yo
 Too many Teachers in the class spoil the class
 After awhile you got blabbering fucking fools
 That's worse than always talking about sex, let's build
 It ain't enough to study Clarence 13X
 The white man ain't the devil I promise
 You want to see the devil take a look at Clarence Thomas
 Now you're saying, "Who?" like you a owl
 Throw in the towel, the devil is Colin Powell
 You talk about being African and being black
 Colin Powell's black, but Libya he'll attack
 Libya's in Africa, but a black man
 will lead a black man, to fight against his homeland
 An accomplice to the devil is a devil too
 The devil is anti-human, who the hell are you?
 I lecture and rap without rehearsal
 I manifest as a black man but I'm universal
 The capital K, small R-I-S
 Capital P, small A-R, capital K, small E-R
 We are, the star
 Without the use of a car we go far
 I build and destroy!
 (Kenny)Yeah Kris, serve em man, serve em!
 (Will)Yo why're they so jealous of BDP?
 (Kenny)I don't know Will. yo don't get mad, get fresh man!
 (Will)Word
 (KRS)Don't ever try to challenge BDP!
 (Kenny)Man. just shut the fuck up and listen!
 (KRS-One)
 This shit is crazy! Your remarks don't faze me!
 People have a problem with me, cause I ain't lazy
 I talk on vinyl then I act
 What have you done, besides critique KRS-One?
 I create organizations
 Without organization, there'll be no black nation
 What the fuck are you really saying?
 You ain't a human while your music's boomin anti-human
 I'm assumin -- if you ain't human you're a beast
 The white man could be the devil all the day, that's the least
 What are you doing for yourself black man?
 Trying hard to be the original man - who?
 The first man, with the first tan, on the first land
 with the first clan, who gives a damn?!
 In history KRS is WELL advised
 But it's something that my brain won't memorize
 I don't base my whole life on memory
 I base my life on my spirit and body chemistry
 Africa is the home of humanity
 Which makes the African a humanist, challenge me
 You gotta learn not to be so concerned
 with the original man, and see the criminal man, yeah!
 The now man, with the now plan, with the now tan
 with the right now genocide master plan
 Damn! We gotta think about stopping this
 God is not any black man on the land; God is conciousness
 When you understand this you'll see Kris
 Until then, you can get dissed
 I'm not your prophet, messiah, minister, or savior
 Chill with that ill behavior
 I zero in like a laser
 You're cuttin your wrists with a razor
 I got all type of flavors
 Yes I am the original teacher
 You gotta study the Qu'ran, Torah, Bahavaghita
 The Bible, Five Baskets of Buddha Zen
 And when you've read them shits, READ them shits again!
 But watch what you're repeatin
 If you don't know the history of the author
 you don't know what you're reading!
 Yeah I'm still the original
 Leaving MC's lyrically miserable
 Their criminal syllables are minimal, show me respect BOY
 Cause I build and destroy!
 (Kenny)Now. after all that
 if anybody out there STILL got beef, check it out
 We rip the lecture tours, we rip the beats
 we rip the jams, we'll straight up rip that ass
 knowhatI'msayin Will?
 (Will)Word!
 (KRS)Yeah it seems they all forgot
 On the mic you'll get fucked up
 In the clubs you'll get fucked up
 Anywhere Bronx Brooklyn Queens Manhattan
 Jersey Japan Staten Isle. yo anywhere you'll get fucked up
 Don't you know we live for the battle?
 I'm outta here
 Yo cut that beat off
