Are You Ready For This |
| Well when I speak this |
| I’ma be like this, I’mma be like Kris |
| I’ma teacher, I’mma preacher, I’mma free my kids |
| I’ma grow dem and show dem what a leader is |
| I’ma teach dem the laws of receive and give |
| Knowledge Reigns Supreme, believe and live |
| You done heard the hype, COME to where the talent is |
| «I'm Still #1,» yup you heard right |
| People say, «KRS-One you shine bright!» |
| Others say, «Yo — you rhyme tight» |
| When you find me, you find light, and that’s alright |
| I don’t know about pimpin, sellin women like retail |
| Or turning coke into crack for resale |
| But I do know if we fail |
| In 2020 our children by the million gonna be jailed |
| We got the victory over the streets |
| God willin we chillin, we know we gon' eat |
| I’m a whole different kind of MC, hoes don’t like |
| Not tempt me but the ladies treat me oh so gently |
| Universities sendin me stretch Bentleys |
| My seminars and lectures, are rarely never empty |
| We teach students plenty, honorary degrees |
| Gold and platinum plaques I got many, ask Kenny |
| People get shocked when I walk into Denny’s |
| Or the corner Kwik-Stop, they say, «That's Hip-Hop |
| Right there,» and yeah it’s really quite clear |
| 2004 might be the right year |
| For mental and spiritual repair |
| The solution is in the resolution you just declared |
| When I speak like this |
| Knowledge Reigns Supreme, hip-hop philosopher |
| All in the street well I’m very popular |
| All through the hood I make all the stops and I |
| Avoid the cops and them random shots well I |
| Love hip-hop and I, live hip-hop so I |
| Spit that shit to get you off your block cause I |
| Can’t understand and I, wish I could see dem |
| Cats that talk bout they love the hood and they |
| Never bring the hood anything that’s good, and they |
| Rap for the money tree, chasin a company |
| But I think you can now see, rap is fun to me |
| I got a ministry, a class, a staff that’s under me |
| KRS in pop rap? |
| Nah, it ain’t ought to be |
| It’ll never happen like, you eatin pork with me |
| Amateurs hawkin me, DON’T EVEN talk to me |
| My house is in Atlanta but I still got New York in me |
| Walk with me, most rappers are short to me |
| I’m like Chamberlain, dominatin the sport you see |
| I toss MC’s off of me |
| When you hear KRS you say that’s how it ought to be |
| I drop heat like this! |
