Problemz |
| Yeah man, yo Marla what’s up |
| Yeah, Inebriated Beats, big up Boston, the whole Boston |
| Edo.G what’s up man? |
| I got you |
| We gon' bounce this now, can I start? |
| Can I start? |
| Here we go |
| I’m the newest and the truest MC on the mic |
| I wrote over 500 songs, pick what you like |
| It ain’t easy bein me, by day or night |
| But it’s easy bein free to recite what you like |
| Hip-Hop is my inalienable right |
| When it comes to emceein KRS is a whole different type |
| Now go get it right, did I flow spit it tight |
| In a fight I was the type to go get a pipe |
| BINK! |
| BINK! |
| BINK! |
| BINK! |
| Movin 'em back |
| BINK! |
| That’s the sound of an aluminum bat |
| But it seems they new to these facts |
| Which means they new to the tracks |
| Which means they do hold us back |
| Too new to know all that but still runnin they trap |
| Do the math, radio gets a 20 record a week stream |
| But only three are ever seen |
| What happens to the other 17? |
| It’s a PROBLEM. |
| PROBLEM. |
| PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY! |
| We gotta solve it |
| Too many players and not enough crime |
| When they finally wake up they woulda ran out of time |
| They can’t see today how they effect tomorrow |
| Too afraid to follow, cause they trust is hollow |
| Because according to the laws they’ll harp some sorrow |
| Yo, «Victory Over the Streets» — that’s our motto |
| But if people ain’t got no vision, that’s a PROBLEM. |
| PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY! |
| We gotta solve it |
| People say, «Kris — why you teach so much? |
| Why you preach so much? |
| Why you speak and such? |
| Why you so bent on reachin each of us?» |
| I reply — because you eatin with us |
| In the future our children will be meetin with us |
| Have a seat then with us and start speakin with us |
| They’ll be critiquin us to be sure they believe in us |
| We don’t need a PROBLEM. |
| PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY! |
| We gotta fix it |
| We live non-toxic, we teach that hip-hop is |
| The transformation of all subjects and objects |
| Retrain your optics, to reinterpret the topics |
| We gotta stop treatin hip-hop like a product |
| And more of a strategy; |
| I got graphs, charts |
| Sacred textbooks, these cats can’t battle me |
| But they try, and why? |
| Cause that’s a PROBLEM. |
| PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY! |
| We gotta fix that |
| These cats need history to get with me |
| But hip-hop's history’s a mystery |
| So how they gonna find out, trial and error |
| We can make one the example for all to get better |
| Inform, KRS is not the norm |
| I go from hot to warm to cold to hot |
| But hip-hop's history many forgot |
| And that’s a PROBLEM. |
| PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY! |
| We gotta solve that |
| PROBLEM. |
| PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY! |
| We gotta fix that |
