1987, I was at the Latin
to Africa Bambaata give the order
The of the order was to avoid the slaughter
He said, "Record companies got nuttin for ya"
a lawyer, he taught The Infinity Lessons
In how hip-hop could be a, a blessing
And that was great, so in
There was no debate, we had to end the

The name of the was Stop the Violence
And unity, knowledge, and
We talkin' 'bout Martin and Malcolm
Had these ghetto kids goin', huh, what about
1989, Professor speaks his mind
But his of speech is declined
1990, came with the coast
East coast, West coast, who is the best

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

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

So in 1992, I found my
They said, "Yo Kris, you wanna do?"
I said, "Damn, why they get with 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, don't get it get it get it
All of a sudden critics they wanna spit it

Kay Are Ess One is
Just 'cause I wouldn't let these 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 wanna have to sit in the pen
So I go to the philosopher
1993, hip-hop is uhh,

Go back, check the
1994, of the Boom Bap
It wasn't all about the
It was all about Harry Rhythm Cultural Institute
1 up, 1995
Conscious rap is still
But nobody wanna play it, wanna say it
Nobody okayed it, they'd all rather it

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

To clothes and hoes, but that me
be damned if I dance for the MTV
So in 1998, I began to
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 full heart, full body, full

But you what the problem is or was
DJ's don't raise our kids,
so caught up in the cash and jewels
How they gonna see a hip-hop school?
How they gonna really see a hip-hop
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
Bloods, Crips, held me down
I could forget Mad Lion, killer pride
With the gat in the lap in the
Oh, I forget, Icy Ice, Lucky Lou
Julio G, that was the

Davey D, Ingrid, Connor
The list on and on, let me tell ya
FredWreck, and my man
Much respect, no
To my spiritual and defenders
Big up to L.A., temple
But in 2000, I how I wanted to live
I wasn't no

So I picked up the mic and I my job
Said to Simone, I get with God
She said, "Don't worry bout dollars and quarters
Record companies ain't got for ya"
Damn, she took me to Bam
Took me to who I am
me back to the New York land
Now I

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

{And uhh, that's y'know
the hip-hop that that that we're about
We come from the uhh the root of, of DJ Herc
Who originated hip-hop in the 70's
And then Bambaata and Zulu Nation
Who instigated called The Infinity Lessons
And consciousness to hip-hop, and then Grandmaster Flash
With the invention of the mixer, on to Run-D.M.C. and then

{And uhh, we created the Stop the movement, you may recall
A song, Self 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}
