[00:09.96]The "KRStyle" album comin soon, KRS-One all in the room
[00:16.35]We gonna bounce these cats this year, word up
[00:18.11]Why they do this? Ha - yo, yo
[00:20.87]I climb up the back of rappers
[00:23.52]Reach over they head, and rap backwards at 'em
[00:25.39]Excuse me madam, I used to throw these uzis at 'em
[00:29.03]But I'm a teacher, skills I truly have 'em
[00:30.82]These clubs I duly pack 'em
[00:33.57]Potential lawyers engineers and doctors, I do attract 'em
[00:36.29]Go to your professors and ask 'em
[00:38.90]If the songs of the "Edutainment" in college they didn't blast 'em
[00:42.61]Yes - I'm that ancient one
[00:46.22]I set the framework for today's rappers to make they funds
[00:47.12]But no you don't know me son
[00:48.90]My facial features matches the Sphinx with it's nose redone
[00:53.59]You know how many clubs we done rocked?
[00:55.36]You know how many guns we done popped?
[00:56.26]You know how many funds we done dropped?
[00:58.94]You know how many ones we done got?
[01:00.71]We been gettin live since the days of Chubb Rock
[01:03.57]We know how to survive; these other cats
[01:06.21]Be in at nine o'clock then be out at five, uhh
[01:09.02]We doin the overtime, on stage I over-rhyme
[01:11.74]Makin these whack rappers tow the line
[01:14.54]Steppin to me, I know you blind; cause your whole flow
[01:16.31]Your show, your style, you know it's all mine!
[01:19.05]The first time you learned to spit
[01:21.88]It was either me, Kane, Rakim or Slick Rick!
[01:27.33]Welcome to the "KRStyle"
[01:30.06]This year I had to switch styles and bust off two miss-iles
[01:32.75]And that's not all, rappers have the gall
[01:34.69]To pray and pray for my downfall - but still in all
[01:38.22]I have X amount of lyrics to get 'em all
[01:41.06]Live at the club I spit 'em all
[01:42.87]Rappers backstage lookin sad and piti-fal
[01:45.55]Cause they know I'm the pinna-cle and they mini-mal
[01:48.26]I spit the metaphysical, the spiritual
[01:50.90]The oracle, the lyrical, the oratorical
[01:53.77]Rookie! I'll mop the floor witcho'
[01:56.43]I'm the lyrical foundation to all your flows
[01:59.10]All your clothes, all your shows and I'm not alone
[02:01.87]You wouldn't even know how to hold the mic or the phone
[02:04.55]You couldn't even bite on the bone
[02:06.42]While we was rockin mics out in Rome
[02:08.20]Now you hyped cause you grown?
[02:10.05]You know we internationally known, the people love it
[02:11.81]But what they learnin bout is on the whole, look above it
[02:14.57]But let us get back to what we call hip-hop
[02:17.21]Before you whack rappers went pop
[02:21.86]🎵
