Verse 2
Dm
If you don't know me by now,
I doubt you'll ever know me
A
I never won a GRAMMY, I won't
win a Tony
Dm
But I'm not the only MC keepin' it real
Bb
When I grab the mic to smash a rapper,
Dm
girls go, "Eww"
Check the time as I rhyme, it's 1995
A
Whenever I arrive the party gets liver
Dm
Flow with the master rhymer,
as I leave behind
Bb
The video rapper, you know,
A
the chart climber
Dm
Clapper, down goes another rapper
A
Onto another matter, punch up the data,
Dm
Blastmaster
Knowledge Reigns Supreme
A
Over Nearly Every body
Dm
Call up KRS, I'm guaran
Bb
Dm
teed to rip a party
Flat top, braids,
bald heads or knotty dread
There once was a story about
A
a man named Jed
Dm
But now Jed is dead, all his kids instead
Wanna kick rhymes off the
Bb
Dm
top of they head
Word, what go around
come around I figure
D
Now we got white kids callin'
Dm
A
themselves niggas
Dm
The tables turned as the
Bb
Dm
crosses burned
Remember You Must Learn
About the styles I flip and how wild I get
Bb
I go on like a space age rocket ship
A
Dm
You could be a mack, a pimp,
hustler or player
Bb
But make sure live you is a dope

Dm
This is what you waited
all year for
A
The hardcore, that's what KRS is here for
Dm
Big up Grand Wizard Theodore, gettin' ill
A
If you see, then ya saw I'm in your grill
Dm
with mad skill
MC's can only battle with rhymes
that got punchlines
Let's battle to see who headlines
Instead of flow for flow,
let's go show for show
Toe for toe, yo,
A
you better act like you know
Dm
Too many MC's take that word
'emcee' lightly
They can't Move a Crowd,
A
Dm
not even slightly
It might be the fact that they
express wackness
Bb
Dm
Let me show ya whose ass is the blackest
I flip a script a little bit,
you ride the tip and shit
A
Too sick to get with it, ad mit you bit,
Dm
your style is counter feit
Now tone it down a bit
A
Dm
My title you will never get,
Bb
I'm too intelli gent
A
Dm
I'll send your fam ily my sentiments,
my style is toxic
When I rock and shock and hip hop
A
Dm
it un lock your head, I knock it
It split quick from the lyric
Direct hit, perfect fit,
A
Dm
you can't get with it
A
MC's act like they don't know

Some MC's don't like the KRS, but
they must respect him
'Cause they know this kid gets all
A
up in they rectum
Dm
Slappin' and se lectin' 'em,
checkin' 'em, disrespectin' 'em
Just deckin' 'em,
A
deckin' 'em, deckin' 'em
Dm
Who in their right mind
can mimic a style like mine?
I design rhyme and get mine all the time
MC's standin' on the sidelines,
always dissin'
Bb
When I roll up and rush they
A
crew they start bitchin'
Dm
I don't burn, I don't freeze,
yet some MC's
Believe they could tangle
with the likes of these
Cross your T's and dot your I's
whenever I arrive
Bb
A
Wide, magnified, live like the ocean tide
Dm
You dope, you lied,
Ebm
Dm
I reside like Artifacts
Bb
On the Wrong Side of Da Tracks,
Dm
electri fied
Comin' around the mountain,
you run and hide
Hopin' your defense mechanism
A
Dm
can divert my heat- seek ing lyri cism
As I spark mad izm
The 1996 lyrical style's
A
Dm
what I give 'em
