MC's Act Like They Don't Know
Christopher Martin, Lawrence Parker
Clap your hands everybody, if you got what it takes
'Cause I'm KRS and I'm on the mic, and Premier's on the breaks
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop
Of course we don't flip flop
If you don't know me by now, I doubt you'll ever know me
I never won a GRAMMY, I won't win a Tony
But I'm not the only MC keepin' it real
When I grab the mic to smash a rapper, girls go, "Eww"
Check the time as I rhyme, it's 1995
Whenever I arrive the party gets liver
Flow with the master rhymer, as I leave behind
The video rapper, you know, the chart climber
Clapper, down goes another rapper
Onto another matter, punch up the data, Blastmaster
Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody
Call up KRS, I'm guaranteed to rip a party
Flat top, braids, bald heads or knotty dread
There once was a story about a man named Jed
But now Jed is dead, all his kids instead
Wanna kick rhymes off the top of they head
Word, what go around come around I figure
Now we got white kids callin' themselves niggas
The tables turned as the crosses burned
Remember You Must Learn
About the styles I flip and how wild I get
I go on like a space age rocket ship
You could be a mack, a pimp, hustler or player
But make sure live you is a dope rhyme-sayer
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
This is what you waited all year for
The hardcore, that's what KRS is here for
Big up Grand Wizard Theodore, gettin' ill
If you see, then ya saw I'm in your grill 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, you better act like you know
Too many MC's take that word 'emcee' lightly
They can't Move a Crowd, not even slightly
It might be the fact that they express wackness
Let me show ya whose ass is the blackest
I flip a script a little bit, you ride the tip and shit
Too sick to get with it, admit you bit, your style is counterfeit
Now tone it down a bit
My title you will never get, I'm too intelligent
I'll send your family my sentiments, my style is toxic
When I rock and shock and hip hop it unlock your head, I knock it
It split quick from the lyric
Direct hit, perfect fit, you can't get with it
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
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 up in they rectum
Slappin' and selectin' 'em, checkin' 'em, disrespectin' 'em
Just deckin' 'em, deckin' 'em, deckin' 'em
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'
When I roll up and rush they crew they start bitchin'
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
Wide, magnified, live like the ocean tide
You dope, you lied, I reside like Artifacts
On the Wrong Side of Da Tracks, electrified
Comin' around the mountain, you run and hide
Hopin' your defense mechanism can divert my heat-seeking lyricism
As I spark mad izm
The 1996 lyrical style's what I give 'em
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
Yo, yo, it's Special K from the Awesome 2
Representin' the cause for the Blastmaster
And this the Ooh Child Teddy Tedd
And you know we down with the KRS
One, One, One
Since day one, aight
Awooga
Peace
Clap your hands everybody, if you got what it takes
Batti le mani tutti, se avete quello che serve
'Cause I'm KRS and I'm on the mic, and Premier's on the breaks
Perché io sono KRS e sono al microfono, e Premier è sui break
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop
Andando verso l'hip hop hardcore
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop
Andando verso l'hip hop hardcore
Of course we don't flip flop
Certo, noi non facciamo flip flop
If you don't know me by now, I doubt you'll ever know me
Se non mi conosci adesso, dubito che mi conoscerai mai
I never won a GRAMMY, I won't win a Tony
Non ho mai vinto un GRAMMY, non vincerò un Tony
But I'm not the only MC keepin' it real
Ma non sono l'unico MC a mantenere la realtà
When I grab the mic to smash a rapper, girls go, "Eww"
Quando prendo il microfono per distruggere un rapper, le ragazze dicono, "Eww"
Check the time as I rhyme, it's 1995
Controlla l'ora mentre rimo, è il 1995
Whenever I arrive the party gets liver
Ogni volta che arrivo la festa diventa più viva
Flow with the master rhymer, as I leave behind
Fluisco con il maestro rima, mentre lascio dietro
The video rapper, you know, the chart climber
Il rapper del video, sai, quello che scala le classifiche
Clapper, down goes another rapper
Clapper, giù va un altro rapper
Onto another matter, punch up the data, Blastmaster
Su un altro argomento, batti i dati, Blastmaster
Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody
La Conoscenza Regna Suprema Su Quasi Tutti
Call up KRS, I'm guaranteed to rip a party
Chiama KRS, sono garantito per strappare una festa
Flat top, braids, bald heads or knotty dread
Capelli rasati, trecce, teste pelate o dread nodosi
There once was a story about a man named Jed
C'era una volta una storia di un uomo di nome Jed
But now Jed is dead, all his kids instead
Ma ora Jed è morto, tutti i suoi figli invece
Wanna kick rhymes off the top of they head
Vogliono sparare rime dalla cima della loro testa
Word, what go around come around I figure
Parola, quello che gira torna indietro, penso
Now we got white kids callin' themselves niggas
Ora abbiamo ragazzi bianchi che si chiamano niggas
The tables turned as the crosses burned
I tavoli si girano mentre le croci bruciano
Remember You Must Learn
Ricorda Devi Imparare
About the styles I flip and how wild I get
Sugli stili che capovolgo e su quanto divento selvaggio
I go on like a space age rocket ship
Continuo come una navicella spaziale
You could be a mack, a pimp, hustler or player
Potresti essere un mack, un pappone, un truffatore o un giocatore
But make sure live you is a dope rhyme-sayer
Ma assicurati di vivere come un grande rima-sayer
