(Yo man, these people around here in '87 just slippin-dough, you know what
|
I'm sayin? Boogie Down Productions not slippin-dough, so hold ya hands-you
|
know what I'm sayin? (word) Yo! What's goin' on? Mr. Magic-you know what
|
happened? He slipped on us-he die. Pumpin KISS FM, we rock. To my man DJ
|
Red Alert- we chillin' (word). Yo man! Yo do, heard about, man, this shit
|
about this kid-Wearin' the, ah, Jerry Curls, man. Word up! He was slippin'.
|
Yo dough, word up, word up. He had a yellow coat on, but no description was
|
given)
|
|
Now what you just heard, people, was a little kickin
|
But let me tell you this while the clock is still tickin
|
This is the warning, known as the caution:
|
Do not attempt to dis cuz you'll soften
|
Just like a pillow, or better yet a mattress
|
You can't match this style or attack this
|
While I'm telling you, write on schedule
|
Fuck with K-R-S and I'll bury you
|
Deep in the dirt, or sand with a shovel
|
No fight, no scurry, or scuffle, just muffle
|
Total domination on stage
|
Kris is the name, 22 is the age
|
Those who wanna battle, I know who you are
|
You got a little girl, you drive a little car
|
You come into the place with that look on your face
|
Before you ran the mile, you lost the race
|
So assume you're doomed when you step in the room
|
I'll be the witch and you'll be the broom
|
I'll ride you, guide you into the concrete
|
I'll slide you to a funky beat
|
So what do we have here?
|
A sucka in fear
|
I snatched your heart
|
Put it way up on the chart
|
At ten you're fucked
|
At nine you suck
|
At eight you're a sucker
|
At seven-a mothafucka
|
At six you're slapped
|
At five you're just wacked
|
At four you're lost
|
At three, you're just soft
|
At two you're an ass
|
At one, you're a dick
|
But before you slip, I'll whip
|
Cuz homeboy, ya slippin'
|
|
(Yo get my slip on, I'm chillin on. A long time, ya see me slip on, crop D,
|
and I'll slip on, everybody-I slip on. Sayin? I'll come back if I miss you,
|
sayin?)
|
|
I understand that music calms the savage beast
|
But keep in mind that I compose my music piece by piece
|
First a bass, a snare
|
A little cut over there
|
I add my name K-R-S
|
And the shit becomes fresh
|
I ask Moe and ICU for their thoughts
|
Layin' down a power play all the suckas are tought
|
One again, the tactics of original arts
|
We're gettin' payed to the end cuz we were down from the start
|
We're known as Boogie Down Productions, ain't no B-boy stance
|
Gauranteed to make ya dance, if you give us a chance
|
We're goin' off and of course all ya suckas are lost
|
You wanna hear a fresh rhyme? You've come to the source
|
Because I'm the type of guy who's not put up on a pedestal
|
Run my rhyme on time and on schedule
|
One after another, another to the next
|
Can't rhyme when you're tense, or your muscles won't flex
|
Check your larynx
|
It may get lower havin' sex
|
Or may get higher
|
When bustin' as a liar
|
These are the things I teach so be tought
|
To me you're kinda short, how many battles have you fought?
|
If you come up with a number, notebook, or list
|
It just doesn't matter, you can still get dissed
|
I'm bringin' back that ol' New York rap
|
That gets you jacked while you're hands still clap
|
It's funny
|
Just dissin' you I can make money
|
But noone's tippin'
|
My message is simple: Ya' slippin!
|
|
(They slippin'-dough-1987-they spippin', but we goin' all the way to the top
|
man (word)-you know what I'm sayin? To my brother KRS-1, you're large, I'm
|
sayin, large-everytime, man, large. They're slippin')
|
|
E-N-O, S-R-K
|
When you go through other albums, you're sure to say
|
Goddam! They all seem to sound alike
|
Till you hear the crew standin' over in the light
|
Showing, glowing, on the top growing
|
The lyrics keep flowing and flowing and just flowing
|
Just like a river, or better yet a stream
|
I'm proud to be down with the winning team
|
So don't ever in your life even think about an arguement
|
Cuz you'll get walked on like carpet
|
We'll pick you up, and dust you off
|
Stamp BDP on you're head and you're off
|
But you won't even change that to say instead
|
I'm down cuz I got a BDP on my head
|
| So just |
