"Welcome to hip-hop culture" | |
We stay hot like Tulsa | |
Knowledge Reigns Supreme, followed by a number ONE | |
These rappers they do-run-run | |
Lyrically they flashin two guns with new funds | |
But politically they do-run-run | |
When it's time to build, they chill, gettin nuttin done | |
But they mouth yes they do-run-run | |
[Chorus: KRS singing] | |
I've, heard, just about all that I can hear | |
We talk, and talk, but this talkin is goin nowhere | |
I've, been, to the summits and conferences | |
And the people man, they'll tell you man | |
Hip-Hop is the way we live | |
[KRS-One] | |
If you're down for this nation, Hip-Hop the nation | |
Three generations, fourth in the waitin | |
Look at what we facin, mainstream penetration | |
Everyone's a biter now, no innovation | |
No syncopation, lost communication | |
Here's what we gotta do to fix the situation | |
First step - know what you creatin | |
Hip-Hop the culture, the consciousness, a new civilization | |
[Chorus] | |
[KRS-One] | |
Everybody, c'mon unite now | |
Turn on the light now, stop all the fight now | |
Time to unite now, a new type of life now | |
No stress no strife, no gun no knife now | |
No board no pipe now, we seein the light now | |
Bein the light now, the future is right now | |
Hip-Hop is like WOW, ready to fight now | |
Sick of the hype now, just about right now | |
[Chorus] | |
[KRS-One] | |
I, hear, uhh, hip-hop is callin me | |
The fact you must see sir, rap is not all of me | |
I use that to reach ya, rappers be borin me | |
Redo the industry with a two dollar royalty | |
What's the agenda, to hip-hop and politics | |
Don't you remember? The violence we stoppin this | |
Kris will defend the, hip-hop populist | |
The solution is simple, raise up yo' consciousness | |
[Chorus] - sung without KRS | |
