You know, life is
If you don't repeat the actions of your own
You won't be
You gotta know your own formula, your own
What you, you

1987, I was at the Quarters
Listenin' to Bambaata give the order
The call of the order was to avoid the
He said, "Record ain't got nuttin for ya"
Without a lawyer, he The Infinity Lessons
In how hip-hop be a, many a blessing
And that was great, so in
There was no debate, we had to end the

The name of the game was the Violence
And unity, knowledge, and
We started talkin' 'bout Martin and
Had ghetto kids goin', huh, what about him?
1989, Professor Griff his mind
But his freedom of speech is
1990, came with the West
coast, West coast, who is the best coast?

Lookin' back now, of it was bogus
The whole argument was we lost focus
We got hopeless, not with the and music
But hip-hop, and how we used it
Or abused it, you how the crew get
You it cause you choose it
1991, we our eyes
With Human Against Lies, we tried

To about the state of humanity
But all these others got mad at me
They called me Human, another message was sent
Self Destruction don't pay the
that? Nobody wanted conscious rap
It was like these ballers at
Where can they call us at? All was
culture was fallin' flat and that was that

So in 1992, I found my
They said, "Yo Kris, what you do?"
I said, "Damn, why they wanna get me?
If I they I'm contradictory"
If I play the role, they take my shoe
Tell me the am I supposed to do?
So I did it, stop get it get it get it
All of a these critics they wanna spit it

Kay Are Ess One is
'cause I wouldn't let these rappers get with me
That, you and pen
If a rapper diss, yo I'd do it again
But I'm these ends, and I got my friends
And I really don't have to sit in the pen
So I go to the philosopher
1993, hip-hop is uhh,

Go back, check the
1994, return of the Bap
It wasn't all the loot
It was all about Harry Rhythm Cultural Institute
Blowin' 1 up,
rap is still alive
But nobody wanna it, nobody wanna say it
Nobody okayed it, all rather hate it

1996, it don't stop
We put together somethin' the Temple of hip-hop
Not just DJin', breakin', and lyrics
But how affects the spirit
Into a World, that's what I did
1997, I was my kid
Or kids, but I, had to go
'Cause New York changed the flows

To clothes and hoes, but that me
be damned if I dance for the MTV
So in 1998, I to debate
I go now, or should I really wait?
'99, I to L.A. you see
And a gig with the WB
studyin' philosophy full-time
To have a heart, full body, full mind

But you what the problem is or was
DJ's don't our kids, 'cause
so caught up in the cash and jewels
How they really see a hip-hop school?
How they gonna see a hip-hop temple?
They don't even wanna my instrumentals, but
Big up Dr. Dre, Snoop,
Especially Xzibit, he was in a minute

Mic Conception, all of them,
Yo you need help? I should call
When I was in L.A., I held the
Bloods, Crips, held me down
I never forget Mad Lion, killer pride
With the gat in the lap in the
Oh, I forget, Icy Ice, Lucky Lou
Julio G, was the crew

Davey D, Ingrid, David
The goes on and on, let me tell ya
FredWreck, and my man
Much respect, no
To my and mental defenders
Big up to L.A., temple
But in 2000, I seen how I to live
I no executive

So I up the mic and I quit my job
Said to Simone, I gotta get God
She said, "Don't worry bout these and quarters
Record ain't got nuttin' for ya"
Damn, she me back to Bam
me back to who I am
Brought me back to the New land
Now I

{Now KRS-One, now you've quoted as saying that
Rap is we do, hip-hop is something you live
Yes
Explain that to us

{Well, well, today hip-hop, we are that hip-hop is not
a music, it is an attitude, it is an awareness, it is a way
To the world
So rap music, is something we do, but is something we live
And we look at hip-hop, in 9 elements
Which is breaking, emceeing, graffiti art, deejaying,
fashion, street language, street knowledge, and street
Entrepenurialism, and business}

{And uhh, that's y'know
That's the hip-hop that that that we're
We from the uhh the root of, of Kool DJ Herc
Who originated hip-hop in the 70's
And then Africa Bambaata and Nation
Who instigated something called The Lessons
And added consciousness to hip-hop, and then Grandmaster
With the invention of the mixer, on to Run-D.M.C. and myself}

{And uhh, we the Stop the Violence movement, you may recall
A song, Destruction and and and so on
All of this, goes to uhh uhh, the idea of living this out
And taking for how it looks and, and acts in society}
