Whattya think makes up a
think makes up a KRS?
Whattya makes up a KRS?

Skinny cat, cat, with a knapsack strapped to my back
1981 before the crack
I to let the Old English 800 suds bubble
In the last car of the Avenue shuttle

Brooklyn, no doubt, Wingate Park, no
Prospect I'm all laid out
Homeless, my gear out and I know this
But I'm an MC I focused

I took the shuttle to the D and my rhymes in a hour
the D to the E, last stop the Twin Towers
Sittin' in the of the beast
In the World Trade Organization, harassed by police

I wrote my rhymes right on the spot
New York City, 1984 was hot
Cats Uzi's out the Jacob Javits Center for a high price
Let me tell you 'bout my

The type of a young black man
go through every day of his life
Hard times to live in, wake up in the
God

The of shit a young black man
Gotta go through every day of his
Hard to live in, wake up in the morning
(Now my turn, listen)

Eighty-five in, eighty-six comes in
The marijuana with the cocaine mix in
High hustlers, I'm takin' flicks with them
My first Red Alert, he's mixin' them

This a far cry from a kid on the bench
Now I'm V.I.P. in the club, this make sense
But it does, as I take daps and
From cats that move drugs, say, "Kris rise above"

Everybody knew my style, was no coward
I wanted to get in the game but my wouldn't allow it
They'd say, "Read books and write them hooks
our children, give 'em a whole new outlook"

So I did, I like any street kid
But I was handed 20 books, others handed 20 year bids
Still they wouldn't to your mother or your wife
There was respect man, let me you 'bout my life

The type of shit a black man
Gotta go through day of his life
Hard to live in, wake up in the morning
God

The type of a young black man
Gotta go every day of his life
Hard to live in, wake up in the morning
(Now my turn, listen)

my career blowin' up now
Me and Scott took the year growin' up now
Me I'm just a private cat, whatever you perceive as
KRS is as live as

We the livest act, in eighty-eight, and ninety now
But years be far behind me now
In ninety-one, no one can me now
I chose the underground to where it's grimy, wow

Rewind me now, 13 for you to see
Or catch me at them universities
My mind stays keen, I'm ever seen
I do a lot of work, just not in the

Know you need to learn
Old school don't always burn
Know you need to learn
KRS-One, don't always
