Knowledge Reigns Supreme - Krs-One
[ chorus ] The word I bring to you today Is Knowledge Reigns Supreme You got no time to joke and play Cause Knowledge Reigns Supreme While others play that game for fame Their concepts bring you stress and strain But blessed are those that know my name Is Knowledge Reigns Supreme [ verse 1 ] Why do I call myself God when I'm speakin? People always ask me this question when I'm teachin What you gotta understand is that Kris don't exist The only existence is God conciousness And God consciousness is what exists as Kris Your ego tells you that you're doin all this You amidst a mister professional lyricist I get rid of this forever, it only gets better Kris from the universe you could never sever Cause there is no Kris, only the universe, remember Goin a little deeper you can check me My whole campaign is about livin life correctly But don't respect me, respect the universe Iit's her verse that I disperse And free you from the curse of the Spaniards The French, Portuguese and English Check me as I sing this Science of mind, I bring this [ chorus ] [ verse 2 ] I bring you out the cave and change how you behave Everything you see is really particles and waves Not to mention your visual extension Is ruled by perception, guiding your every direction If you really want money your mentality must switch If you really wanna be rich you gotta act like you're rich You can't act like a bitch if you wanna be a lady You can't get the gravy if you're sittin around lazy You can't be in the hustle if you ain't lookin for trouble You can't be single if you know you're really double You can do it (yeah) we can do it (yes) You can do it (yeah) we can do it (yes) We the best, don't worry 'bout the card they dealt ya It's real, I proceed myself out the shelter Every day and night seein myself rock the mic Lyrics tight, gettin paid right for my mental sight Richer not poorer, expanding my aura To attract more of positive energy (What you dealin with? What you tellin me?) [ chorus ] (Uh 1-2 My man Kris Flip the style, you do it like this) [ verse 3 ] How'd you forget it? The culture that's embedded Check it, it's energetic My people really won't be deaded But Kris won't let it The same thing that you read I read it My hair is dreaded But hip-hop, yes, you must respect it We must direct it And use it positively so these sceptics Can learn our mathematics like metrics I said it I'm 'bout to shed it Why don't you check me like your credit You still don't get it You twisted like that????? Keith Sweat???? Rappers nowadays sound so pathetic Yo, let me set it Although my presentation is?????? And hypothetic My genetics is highly poetic And athletic But still some don't get it The paparazzi life is all synthetic The balancing of the mind is what's authentic The total body is ultramagnetic Like that (like that) We did it like that Like that (like that) And we did it like that Like that (like that) And we did it like that Like that (like that) And we did it like that.. There is no need to be afraid Open your mind Do your knowledge +Do+ your knowledge Stop studying your knowledge And +do+ your knowledge .. Did it like that Like that (like that) We did it like that We did it like that We did it like that
