Your rating:

Intro/Chorus:
 [Krs]
 Let's Do It!
 [Cold Crush]
 When I say how then you say ho
 and if somebody say thug then you say so
 cuz theres hell below and you aint tryin to go
 so get ready for the throw down
 Headz catch wreck and bums get done
 B.D.P.  Cold Crush & Krs One
 nowhere to hide  nowhere to run
 so get ready for the throw down

 Verse 1

 [Krs]
 Throw down  low down
 Mc's get throw down
 I mastered the sentence, paragraph & pronouns
 I think you oughta go down
 you cant stand the blow of toe to toe now!
 that you heard all the rap criminals
 skills minimal, dispicable,
 check out the rhyme original
 indivisible justice for all
 before ya learned to walk, you gots ta learn to crawl
 before ya learned to crawl, you gots to be born
 now before you were born, your folks had to get it on
 The point to the matter comin from the blastmaster
 is hip hop culture might be headed for disaster
 All these wack rappers don't know the past data
 They act like hip hop history doesn't matter
 So when you see Krs One brace the stage
 the difference that you see, has to do wit my age
 Fresh in 74....Fresh in 75
 Fresh in 76 when Mc's rocked live to cassette
 Fresh in 77 don't forget
 Fresh in 78 on a turntable set
 Fresh in 79
 Fresh in 80 I was grandmaster G wit my man double T
 Fresh in 81
 Fresh in 82 when DJ Mad Mike off of Church Avenue in the B-K
 BROOKLYN-FLATBUSH!!!...when B-K MC's got mushed!
 Fresh in 83, 84 and 85 when I moved back to the B-X and got live
 Fresh in 86......Fresh in 87
 Fresh in 88 after Scott went to heaven
 Fresh in 89......Fresh in 90
 Im Fesh in 91, 92 and 93
 Fresh in 94, 95 don't be forgetten
 Fresh in 96 and Fresher in 97
 Fresh in 98 and Fresh in 99
 In the new millenium I'll be aroused in your mind so....

 Chorus

 Verse 2

 [Krs]
 What does it take to be a real MC?
 it means you can't write rhymes for the tv
 cuz a real MC, whether amatuers or pros
 MC that knows how to rock live shows
 another thing while I sing MC talk
 a real MC never diss New York
 cuz if you knew the time while your rhymin MC'n
 you'd know that New York is hip hop's garden of Eden
 and if this aint sacred, we neva gonna make it
 your disin your very own hip hop tradition
 you know why when I grab the mic I'm superior
 cuz I was at the Roxy and Danceteria
 Krs a product of respect and courtesy
 while the rapper is a product of the record company
 Im not braggin but this is what hip hop is achievin
 it's becomin all rap and no Mc'in
 still we aint seein, cuz still we aint believin
 the West and the East of hip hop can cease

 [Cold Crush]
 Hey yall this is true
 the boys in blue gotta plan for you
 dont mess wit the suits cuz they do too
 so whatcha gonna do
 Tried to be the best
 live positive and free from stress
 dont limit yourself to east or west
 whose the very best...

 [Krs]
 Krs...I warm up your chest while your bones untangle
 the lyrics hit your head then goes down your ankle
 I'm saved for rainy days like casserole
 then rediscovered later like the dead sea scrolls
 you wanna get out the ghetto, the projects and profit
 but first negativity you gots to stop it
 Big up the east coast and the west coast
 but you cant big up no coast when your ghost
 I can see now how the other man stole rock and roll
 and guitar rippin cuz we was bullshit
 sick of eatin chicken,
 but fix it theres time tickin
 we spittin and complainin but the worlds rearrangin
 still we doin the same, whose to blame we dont need this
 its not black strangness, its black weakness
