I'm On The Mic - Krs-One
[Intro:] When you least expect it (This is just one style) [Verse 1:] We back up in this piece like yeast to bread Underground you gotta find me like an Easter egg No need to beg, I hit the club hard on the red While you check for CDs I'm sellin' books instead I travel the country by car, by foot and leg What's worse than being behind is being ahead Prophetic visions of President Jeb Five storms hit Florida on his head and nobody said "What's the meaning of this? It's like God is dead" In the minds of the people hanging onto a thread You gotta go where your heart is led I spit truth but some cats, they just got the hardest head As you can see, I'm artist-led I take it to the black, to the green, and to the darkest red I write, recite and of course go off the head-top Knowledge Reigns Supreme, man - don't forget that [Chorus:] KRS and I'm on the mic (Class is in session, so you can stop guessin') KRS and I'm on the mic This is just one style KRS and I'm on the mic Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody KRS and I'm on the mic Listen [Verse 2:] Here's the mission, plain and straight We gotta nurture and develop what we create Hip-hop is our activity on the planet Today it's just an album
