Achieving The Levels
(专辑: I M A M C R U 1 2 - 2022)
(Ok I
see how you doing it, that was dope I
got this gutter shit lined up, I
know you ain't tired) (What? Ha ha ha. Really?) I
ain't even trying or peeking I
just ripped a
club down last weekend I'm no trick but I'm treating rappers like Halloween They all costume no substance and that's what hollow means They really empty like a
lot of fiends They holding a
hundred but they don't really know what a
one dollar means They slaves to slave economies Sellouts and traitors posing as hip-hop, we got a
lot of these So I
be spitting my philosophies with evidence No doubt this is the
route so why the
hesitance? Is it because I'm spitting with divine intelligence and excellence and you hearing rhymes that are irrelevant? Knowledge Reigns Supreme, KRS is how I'm spelling it The
top one of the
top five and that's the
end of it I
judge my pen when I
sentence it Then imprison your mind with my penmanship, but here's some better shit Get with me, you forgot? Let me jog your memory I'm a
poor righteous teacher and a
public enemy Fake ass DJs, they do not play or even mention me I'm scary, revolutionary. Fake? I
will never be Real I'll forever be I'm a
whole different entity I
spit rhymes by the
mouth and by telepathy Health love awareness and wealth, that's the
recipe I'm 50 and 20 year olds can't match the
energy On stage I'm in a
rage, yeah it's like 10 of me Disrespect the
teacher, you know the
penalty KRS-One, I'm from a
whole different century I'm paid in full so you can ch-ch-check out my melody Murdering mics, they charging me with a
felony But I
can't be caught because the
ancestors dwell in me Moving with hesitancy when you mentioning me I'm an original MC, get your T-I-C-K-E-T The
mic grabber, beat stabber, street grammar, heat blaster I
stay chunky and hungry so I
eat faster Gobble gobble gobble most rappers are hollow So KRS-One becomes that hard act to follow Hard beats, hard rhymes, hard cutting "Wha-dot-dot-dot-dang!" gets the
whole place jumping This is that original Boogie Down Productions Last of them true MCs that still function Boom bap, boom bap When the
mic turns on, dudes be like, "Who's that?" Crowd rushing in, security's like, "Move back!" Real skill, that's what a
lot of you lack I'm turning on my mic to reveal a
new batch Rappers say they great, but compared to Kris, who match? Amber alert on the
phone when you snatched How you a
DJ? You ain't even start from scratch (Yeah I
know you waiting, I'm just messing with the
reverb a
little bit, just keep going and I'll tell you when to stop) You still here? It ain't over yet Knowledge reigns, so I'ma leave 'em soaking wet If you listening to a
legend, this is what you supposed to get Real skill, my utmost respect, or a
broken neck Flawless rawness I
pour this through the
cordless, all this is lawless I'm the
tallest, people say, "Give me more Kris!" You can't ignore this you know you saw this, the
extensive tallest is flawless We on this because dope is what they call this So from the
gutter the
number one, he comes from under from the
hood when the
hood was a
hood and it peaked in summer We used to speak our rhymes to Funky Drummer We called it The
Dozens, a
competition of words, jokes about your mother Now knowledge reigning supreme like no other The
soul brother whose beats and words so gutter No wonder this brother when he utters you don't blow Not with the
gun though, with the
one flow, you like, "Fuck no!" This no luck though, I'm one bro You can now catch me teaching in Brick City at 55 Ludlow Dudes be like, "Uh oh, we in trouble" King of the
jungle, no time to mumble, kingdom's gonna crumble I
step they stumble I
bee like bumble a
one-two to run to a
traitor like fuck you and bring the
truck through I
gets down but you can't see what I'm up to I'm tackling rappers like, "Hut one! Hut two!" When I
come through (Ok ok we good, let's change up the
flow)
