Is y'all ready for Twenty-0-7, it's now another drought 

Everyone's a killer, wow we buggin out 

Since 86 showin the crowd what I'm about 

And they still want to know when the album comin' out 

Ask the teenagers, O'Gs and Ask the kids 

What they definition of Classic is 

Timeless, cause age don't count in the booth 

And your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth 

And no doubt the truth I'm off the meters 

Everybody co-signing even non-believers 

I came in the door, became one of y'alls leaders 

In the fresh pair of Air Force One sneakers 

Uptown we call ‘em uppies when they on divas 

Prolly worn when KRS One teaches 

Nas, made you look, before the haters 

I bet you Kan had ‘em on when he walked with Jesus 

This is classic 



classic, better than I'v ever been

talent, 

If it's classic it's gonna last forever than I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been 

Classic

Better than I'v ever been



[Kanye West:]

Can't buy this, superflyness, like a shyness, your highness 

It's performin', look how long the line is 

That's what happens when you make shit that's timeless 

That's what happens these rappers is the pioneers 

What do it take to be a legend like Nas is? 

That's so novice, I'm so polished, I got a right to be a little bit snobbish 

I did a little bit of college, semesters it took 2 like Rob Base 

To let me figure out this wasn't my place, the beat slowed til' you listened to my pace 

Cuz I be killin' shit, but that's evident, and y'all feelin' it, but I expected it 

If it's classic it's gonna last forever than I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been 

classic, better than I'v ever been

talent, 

If it's classic it's gonna last forever than I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been 

Classic

Better than I'v ever been



[Nas:] 

Perseverance, see the fake hustler rapper to them it hurts to hear this 

O you went platinum – yeah that's nice, now let me see you do the same thing twice 

New times, 4 times, then been a couple of more times, please your amateur night is show time 

It's one life to live so live it the best you can, the world could use one less man 

Not enough air, not enough car factories to manufacture new vehicles sedans and vans 

When they do make the whip you like ya chips ain't right, by the time you could afford it the car ain't important 

In the streets silent, it's just I and - cops keep firin' in my environment 

Leavin' your slum when they drive home far from the hood brothers they eager to jump on 

I like to be the wall that they post up on, I like to see them fall, guilty for doing wrong 

I'm classic like the Air Ones, the Hustler shoe, that's what I'm accustomed to 



classic, better than I'v ever been

talent, 

If it's classic it's gonna last forever than I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been 

Classic

Better than I'v ever been



[KRS One:] 

How many y'all got criminal minded you you you y'all don't be blinded 

Me I got no jewels on my neck, why – I don't need ‘em I got your respect 

KRS 1 20 years I rock I do it for JMJ and Scott LaRock – this hip hop 

And we's a nation, don't you want to hear more KRS on your radio station? 

Instead of broadcasting how we smokin' trees, on the radio we need to hear more local MC's 

Where you at? Come on where you at? This is the difference between MC'ing and rap 

Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC's spit rhymes to uplift they people 

Peace, love, unity, and Havin' fun, these are the lyrics of KRS One
