Chords for KRS-One - MC's Act Like They Don't Know (Official Video)

Clap your hands everybody if you got what it takes
Cuz I'm K your reps and I'm on the mic and premieres on the [Ebm] brakes
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _
[A] _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _
[Eb] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
[Ebm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] [F] If _ you [Ebm] don't know me by now I doubt you'll ever [F] know me I never won a Grammy
I won't win a pony, but I'm not the only MC keeping it real
Winner, grab the mic and smash it rapper, girl you go [Ebm] ill
Check this out Mr.
[Bb] Rhymer, it's [Eb] 1995 [F] whenever, ha ha ha
[Ebm] The party gets vibin', flow with the master [F] rapper
That's a leave-behind-a-video rapper, [Bb] you know the chalk [Eb] climber
[Ebm] Habba, down goes another rapper, [Cm] on to [F] another matter
Unchuck [Eb] the data, blast master, [Ebm] knowledge reigns supreme over nearly everybody
[B] Call up K your reps and guarantee the grip of the party
Black pop, graze, bald heads, a Nazi threat
[Abm] And once more it's a story about a man named K
[Ebm] But now Jed is dead, [F] all the kids is dead
Who wanna kick Bob from [Ebm] the top of their head?
Word, but we'll come around, come around I figure
Now we got white kids calling themselves D.B.
The tables turn as the crosses [Eb] burn
Remember [F] you must [Ebm] learn
How about the stars, stop goofing, how wild I [Eb] get
I go [F] on like a space-age rocket ship
You could [Ebm] be a map, a pimp, [Abm] hustler, a player
But [F] make sure Lyle you is a [Cm] good bomb, say
[Gb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Abm] Nancy's [C] act like they don't know
[Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ebm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Eb] This [Ebm] is what you waited all year [Cm] for
The [F] hard core, it's what [Bb] KRS is here for
Big up Gram, Lizzy B, [B] it all getting ill
If you see Ben you [Bb] saw, I mean you grew with [Eb] mad skill
[Ebm] MC's can only [Bb] battle with [F] bombs that got punchlines
Let's battle and [Bb] see who [Ebm] headlines
Instead of flow, boom, blow, let's go show for show
Toe for toe, yo, you better act like you know
Too many MC's take that word MC lightly
[F] They can't move a crowd, [Ebm] not even slightly
It might be the fact that they express wackness
[Db] Let me show you whose ass is the [Eb] flattest
[Ebm] I flip a strip a little bit, you bout to tip it
[F] Too sick to get with it, admit you pick a solid counterfeit
That's [B] holding down a bit, my title you will never get
I'm too intelligent, I send you family, my sentiments
That's all it's taunting, when I rock it
Shocking hip-hop, when I lock your head I [Ebm] knock it
It's quick from the [Eb] lyric, [F] direct hit, perfect hit
You [Gb] can't get with it
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] MC's act like they don't [Eb] know
[Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ [F] _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ebm] _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ [F] _ _ [Bb]
[Ebm] Some MC's don't like the [Bb] KRS, but they [Eb] must respect [Ab] them
Cause they know this kid gets [Eb] all up and they wreck them
Slapping and slacking them, [N] checking them
Disrespecting them, just jacking them, jacking, [Eb] jacking [Ebm] them
Who in their right mind come in [Cm] with a style like mine?
[F] I design rhyme and get on all the time
[Ebm] MC's staying on the sidelines, always guessing
When I roll up and rush, they crew, they slumping
I don't burn, I don't freeze, yes I'm MC
[F] Believe, [Ebm] take your paper with the likes of these
Glossities and dot your I's whenever I arrive
Wide, magnified, live, like the ocean tide
You don't be lyin', I reside like artifacts
[B] On the wrong side of the cracks, I let you by
Coming around the corner, you running high
Open your defense mechanism, tend to burn my heat
Seeking lyricism, as I_
The [F] 1996 lyrical [Bb] style is what I [Eb] give for what I give [Ebm] for what I give
MC's act [Bb] like they don't [Eb] know
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
