Luyện nghe bài hát 9 Elements

Well my and gentlemen

is a rap session and my name is "KRS-ONE!"

And when I talk about "Hip-Hop Music!", I

One: Breaking or dancing

b-boying, freestyle or street dancin'

Two: or rap
speech what I'm doing right now no act
Three: Grafitti art or bombin'

Taggin', writin', now learning! uh!

: DJ'ing, we ain't playing!

{*scratch* You know I'm saying!

Five :

me a {*beatboxin* Yes and we rockin'!
Six: fashion, lookin' fly

the eye while them cats walk on by

Seven: language, our verbal communication

Our codes throughout the

Street knowledge, common sense

The wisdom of the elders way back whence

Nine : Street realism
No job, just get up 'em and get 'em

Here's how I'm tellin' it, all 9

We stand in love, no we're never it

No doubt

Hip-Hop? We're not selling it out, we're lettin' it out

"If checkin' us out this hour, we teachin' Hip Hop;

Holy Integrated People Havin' Power."

Rap is you do!

3x Hip-Hop is something you live!

Rap is you do!

Hip-Hop is something you live!

Skaters, BMX riders, rock

Don't you ever stop! You are

You doing the same things we did on our block in the

You know you be packing that block

that crack rock and ecstacy

Gettin' drunk, fallin' out next to me

But I told those in the ghettos

Here's the facts! True is so much more than that

much more than rap, so much more than beats

Hip-hop is all about over the streets

you see on TV is a lie

That's not something you wanna or pattern your life by

But, huh that's too preachin' ain't it?

You don't want the "edutainment", you wanna be dead on the

Well, so be it, of ya'll ain't gonna see it

Others wanna enslave your mind! wanna free it!

Rap is you do!

5x Hip-Hop is something you live!

"Oh yea" *scratched* --- "P is free"

"I have spent my whole livin'", "talk to the fullest", "no doubt"

You know that's why these rappers hang

the essence of hip-hop is not a material thang

They so careless, hip-hop is in a {? we
Rap we do, we live

How times I gotta say it? How the radio ain't gonna play it

And you hip-hoppers sit back and it

Think about it! (think it)

The present of action, we have got to reroute it!

[Chorus: 3X]

Hip-Hop is you live!
