Verse 1: Kanye West |
| [00:24.50] |
Can't buy this, super fly in this |
| [00:26.55] |
Like shininess, you're highness |
| [00:28.77] |
It's performin', look how long the line is |
| [00:31.06] |
It's what happens when you make shit that's timeless |
| [00:33.46] |
It's what happens, each rapper's the pioneers |
| [00:35.79] |
What would it take to be a legend like Nas is? |
| [00:38.21] |
That's so novice, I'm so polished |
| [00:40.88] |
I got a right to be a 'lil snobbish |
| [00:43.03] |
I did a 'lil bit of College |
| [00:45.42] |
Semesters it took two like Rob Base |
| [00:47.77] |
To let me figure out this was in my place |
| [00:50.13] |
The beat's slow, 'til you listen to my pace |
| [00:52.61] |
'Cause I be killin' shit, but that's evident |
| [00:55.26] |
And y'all feelin' it, but I expected |
| [00:57.39] |
If it's classic - it's gon' last forever than |
| [00:59.76] |
I'm everywhere you never been, and better than I ever been |

Verse 2: Nas |

Perseverance.. |
| [01:22.67] |
See the fake hustler rapper |
| [01:24.68] |
To them, it hurts to hear this |
| [01:26.15] |
Oh you went platinum? Yeah, that's nice |
| [01:28.42] |
Now let me see you do the same thing twice |
| [01:30.84] |
Three times, four times, then a couple of mo' times |
| [01:33.24] |
Please, you're Amateur Night, it's Showtime |
| [01:35.65] |
It's one life to live, so live it the best you can |
| [01:37.99] |
The world could use one less man |
| [01:40.60] |
Not enough air, not enough car factories |
| [01:42.82] |
To manufacture new vehicles, sedans and vans |
| [01:45.35] |
When they do make the whip you like |
| [01:47.35] |
Your chips ain't right |
| [01:48.93] |
By the time you could afford it |
| [01:50.61] |
The car ain't imported |
| [01:52.07] |
In the streets I'm in, it's just iron |
| [01:53.14] |
Cops keep firin', in my environment |
| [01:55.03] |
Leavin' you slumped, then they drive home |
| [01:57.19] |
Far from the hood, brothers they eager to jump on |
| [01:59.39] |
I like to be the wall that they toast up on |
| [02:01.95] |
I like to see them fall, guilty for doin' wrong |
| [02:04.54] |
I'm classic like the Air One's, the hustler shoe |
| [02:07.60] |
That's what I'm accustomed to.. yea |
| [02:09.15] |

Verse 3: KRS-One |
| [02:29.47] |
How many of y'all got - 'Criminal Minded'? |
| [02:30.99] |
You, you, you, y'all don't be blinded |
| [02:33.29] |
Me - I got no jewels on my neck |
| [02:35.69] |
Why? - I don't need 'em, I got your respect |
| [02:37.91] |
KRS-One, 20 years I rock |

I do it for JMJ and Scott La Rock |
| [02:42.78] |
This hip-hop and we is a nation |
| [02:45.03] |
Don't you wanna hear more KRS-One on your radio station? |
| [02:48.07] |
Instead of broadcasting how we smoke them trees |
| [02:50.09] |
On the radio we need to hear more local emcees |
| [02:52.49] |
Where you at?, c'mon where you at? |
| [02:54.85] |
This is the difference between emceein' and rap |
| [02:57.32] |
Rappers spit rhymes that're mostly illegal |
| [02:59.65] |
Emcees spit rhymes to uplift their people |

Peace, Love, Unity, havin' fun |

Uh, yea, is y'all ready for 20-07? |

| [03:33.29] |
And they still wanna know when the album comin' out |
| [03:35.61] |
Askin' teenagers, OG's and nasty kids |
| [03:37.95] |
What their definition of Classic is? |
| [03:39.71] |
Timeless, so age don't count in the booth |
| [03:43.04] |
When your flow stay submerge in the fountain of youth |
| [03:45.10] |
Ain't no doubtin' the truth, I'm off the meters |
| [03:47.53] |
Everybody cosignin', even the non-believers |
| [03:50.30] |
Since I came in the door, and became one of y'all leaders |
| [03:52.46] |
In a fresh pair Air Force sneakers |
| [03:54.68] |
Uptowns, we call 'em uppies, when they're on divas |
| [03:57.21] |
Probably worn when KRS-One raw teachings |
