Mc's Act Like They Don't Know |
Clap your hands everybody, if you got what it takes |
'Cause I’m KRS and I’m on the mic, and Premier’s on The Breaks |
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop |
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop |
Of course we don’t flip flop |
If you don’t know me by now I doubt you’ll ever know me |
I never won a Grammy, I won’t win a Tony |
But I’m not the only MC keepin' it real |
When I grab the mic to smash a rapper, girls go, «Ill» |
Check the time as I rhyme, it’s 1995 |
Whenever I arrive the party gets liver |
Flow with the master rhymer, as I leave behind |
The video rapper, you know, the chart climber |
Clapper, down goes another rapper |
Onto another matter, punch up the data, Blastmaster |
Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody |
Call up KRS, I’m guaranteed to rip a party |
Flat top, braids, bald heads or knotty dreads |
There once was a story about a man named Jed |
But now Jed is dead, all his kids instead |
Want to kick rhymes off the top of they head |
Word, what go around come around I figure |
Now we got white kids callin' themselves niggas |
The tables turned as the crosses burned |
Remember You Must Learn |
About the styles I flip and how wild I get |
I go on like a space age rocket ship |
You could be a mack, a pimp, hustler or player |
But make sure live you is a dope rhyme sayer |
MCs act like they don’t know |
MCs act like they don’t know |
MCs act like they don’t know |
This is what you waited all year for |
The hardcore, that’s what KRS is here for |
Big up Grand Wizard Theodore, gettin' ill |
If you see then ya saw I’m in your grill with mad skill |
MC’s can only battle with rhymes that got punchlines |
Let’s battle to see who headlines |
Instead of flow for flow let’s go show for show |
Toe for toe, yo, you better act like you know |
Too many MC’s take that word 'emcee' lightly |
They can’t Move a Crowd, not even slightly |
It might be the fact that they express wackness |
Let me show ya whose ass is the blackest |
I flip a script a little bit, you ride the tip and shit |
Too sick to get with it, admit you bit, your style is counterfeit |
Now tone it down a bit |
My title you will never get, I’m too intelligent |
I’ll send your family my sentiments, my style is toxic |
When I rock and shock and hip hop it unlock your head, I knock it |
It split quick from the lyric |
Direct hit, perfect fit, you can’t get with it |
MCs act like they don’t know |
MCs act like they don’t know |
MCs act like they don’t know |
Some MC’s don’t like the KRS but they must respect him |
Cos they know this kid gets all up in they rectum |
Slappin' and selectin' em, checkin' em, disrespectin' em |
Just deckin' em, deckin' em, deck-in' em |
Who in their right mind can mimic a style like mine |
I design rhyme and get mine all the time |
MC’s standin' on the sidelines, always dissin' |
When I roll up and rush their crew, they start bitchin' |
I don’t burn, I don’t freeze, yet some MC’s |
Believe they could tango with the likes of these |
Cross your t’s and dot your i’s whenever I arrive |
Wide, magnified, live like the ocean tide |
You dope, you lied, I reside like Artifacts |
On the Wrong Side of Da Tracks, electrified |
Comin' around the mountain, you run and hide |
Hopin' your defence mechanism can divert my heat-seeking lyricism |
As I spark mad izm |
The 1996 lyrical style’s what I give 'em |
MCs act like they don’t know |
MCs act like they don’t know |
MCs act like they don’t know |
MCs act like they don’t know |
MCs act like they don’t know |
