I got it!
Shhh!
No!
So, you're a philosopher?
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
[C] Yes!
I think very deeply!
I think very deeply!
I think very deeply!
[N] I think very deeply!
And about what we say,
I [C] begin to speak!
I think very deeply!
[A] Let us begin!
What, where, why, or when?
Well, I'll be explaining like instructions to a game.
See, I'm not insane.
In fact, I'm [Ab] kind of rational.
When I be asking you, who is more dramatical?
This one or that one?
The white one or [Gb] the black one?
Pick the punk, and I'll jump up to attack one.
KRS-One is just the guy to lead a crew.
Right up to your face and dish it!
A lot of suckers would like to forget me, but they can't.
Because like a champ, I have got a record.
I'm knocking out the frauds in a second.
On the mic, I believe that you should get loose.
I haven't come to tell you I've got juice.
I just produce, create, innovate on a higher level.
I'll be [Ab] back, but for [E] now, just sit!
Sit!
[A] Sit!
Sit!
Sit!
Sit!
Sit!
[C] Sit!

[Cm] [Gm] Sit!
Now I get set up and try to [C] slip [G] up Hey now. Hey now.
Because I'm [C]
[G]
put [C] in a wheelchair
2 week's shit
Now I'm on my own Hurt myself [Ab] Hurt myself Hurt myself Hurt myself Shut it
Here I am
I'm now [C] about hip-hop, about D-Nice, Melody, [G] and Scott LaRocque.
I'm gonna send a [C] pencil, a marker, mainly what I write is for the [A] Alice New Yorker.
Some MCs [Gm] be talking and talking, trying to show how black people are [Cm] walking.
But I don't [Eb] walk this way to [C] portray or reinforce stereotypes of today.
Like all my brothers eat chicken and watermelon, talk [Cm] broken English and drug selling.
MCs are telling and teaching, [C] they are fast.
Doing some act in rap is kind of whack and it lacks [Bb] creativity and [C] intelligence.
But they don't care because the [A] company's selling [Cm] it.
It's my [C] philosophy.
On the industry, [Gm] don't bother dissing me or [Ab] even show it,
soften, dilute, or [E] commercialize all the lyrics [G] because it's about time one of y'all hear it.
And first hand from an intelligent brown man, a [Gm] vegetarian, no goat or ham or chicken or turkey or hamburger.
Because for me, that's suicide, self-murder, murder, murder what we call hip-hop.
And what it meant to DJ Scott LaRocque.
You know what, Chris, I think you have a deep thing.
In [C] about four seconds, a deep thing will begin to speak.
[Cm] How many [Gm] MCs must get dissed before somebody says don't f*** with Chris?
Chris is just one star out of many.
Like a piggy bank, just one penny.
My brother's name's Kenny.
That's Kenny Parker.
My other brother, I see you, I [A] see you.
We'll get our productions made up.
[C] A teacher's lecture is conducted from [G] the mic to the speaker.
Who gets weaker, the king or the teacher?
It's not about a salary, it's all about [A] reality.
Teachers [Gm] teach and do the world good.
Kings [Ab] rule and most are never understood.
If you went [C] to me or a brother to start an industry, all inside this [G] room right now would be in [C] misery.
No one could get along nor sing a song because everyone be singing for the king.
Am I wrong?
Am I wrong?
What's up?
It's me again.
Skylar Rock, KRS-TV again.
Many people had [G] done their fiddly and the trend.
We couldn't mind it.
We [C] had funky, funky, [Gm] funky, funky, funky hit records.
No more than four minutes and some seconds.
The competition checks and checks.
It keeps checking, checking.
They take the album, take it home and start sweating.
Why?
Well, it's simple.
To them, it's kind of idle.
To take KRS-TV title, to them, I'm like an idol.
Some type of entity.
And everybody, [Ab] Ron, they want to mention me [C] or rather mention us, me and Skylar Rock.
But they could get bust, get robbed, get dropped.
I don't play around nor do I hop around.
And you could tell by the bodies that are [Cm] left around when some clown jumps up to get beat down.
Broken down to his very last compound.
See how it sounds?
A little unrational.
A lot of MCs like to use the word, dramatical.
Fresh for 88.
You suck.
It's a cop around here.
It's in here.
