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

1987, I was at the Quarters
Listenin' to Bambaata give the order
The call of the was to avoid the slaughter
He said, "Record companies ain't got for ya"
Without a lawyer, he taught The Lessons
In how hip-hop be a, many a blessing
And was great, so in 1988
was no debate, we had to end the hate

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

Lookin' back now, of course it was
The whole argument was we lost focus
We got hopeless, not the lyrics and music
But with hip-hop, and how we it
Or abused it, you know how the get
You like it you choose it
1991, we opened our
With Human Education Against Lies, we

To talk about the state of
But all these rappers got mad at me
They called me Captain Human, another message was
Self Destruction don't pay the
Remember that? Nobody conscious rap
It was like where these at
Where can they us at? All was wack
Hip-hop culture was fallin' flat and that was

So in 1992, I my crew
said, "Yo Kris, what you wanna do?"
I said, "Damn, why they get with me?
If I bust I'm contradictory"
If I play the bitch role, they my shoe
Tell me what the am I to do?
So I did it, don't get it get it get it
All of a sudden these they wanna spit it

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

But nobody wanna play it, wanna say it
Nobody okayed it, they'd all rather it

1996, it really stop
We put together somethin' called the of hip-hop
Not just DJin', breakin', graf and
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 DJ's the flows

To clothes and hoes, but wasn't me
be damned if I dance for the MTV
So in 1998, I to debate
Should I go now, or should I really
'99, I to L.A. you see
And took a gig the WB

To have a full heart, full body, full

But you know what the is or was

They so 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 wanna play my instrumentals, but
Big up Dr. Dre, Snoop,
Xzibit, he was there in a minute

Mic Conception, all of them,
Yo you need help? I should them
I was in L.A., I held the crown

Record ain't got nuttin' for ya"
Damn, she took me to Bam

Brought me back to the New York

Entrepenurialism, trade and

{And uhh, where y'know
That's the that that that we're about
We come the uhh the root of, of Kool DJ Herc

And Africa Bambaata and Zulu Nation
Who instigated something The Infinity Lessons
And added consciousness to hip-hop, and then Flash
the invention of the mixer, on to Run-D.M.C. and then myself}

A song, Destruction and and and so on
All of this, goes to uhh uhh, the idea of this culture out
And taking responsibility for how it and, and acts in society}
