Yeah, whassup?

Whassamatta you? (You) Why you lookin so sad (so sad)

KRS is back (he's back!) But you don't look so glad

Ahh shutupayouface!

Look at this place!

Why was I chosen to pick up the race?

And carry the flame, the torch, the name?

Millenium games, it's all the same

Sinners repent, many for fear

End of the year, everyone cheers

Only a few hear my voice in they ears

Everyone else well they really don't care

But what if I told you I could read the future

and in the future, they the losers

We the winners, cause they the sinners

Well it's all mathematics, can I eat my dinner

and think (think) why was I made to link

between them and the universe; battle, who the first?

I don't really care, cause I'm really not here

I'm showin you skill, but you still sayin "Where?"



Whassamatta you? (You) Why you lookin so sad (so sad)

KRS is back (he's back!) But you don't look so glad

Ahh shutupayouface!

Every race, walkin around with they head up in space

They cannot see that we all really one

In any battle I already won

Thank the creator, it's already done

KRS-One?  Leavin 'em stunned

Dunn duh-duh dunn dunn done it again

Me and Will and my brother named Ken, now let me tell you

The bass in your face, the highs in your eyes

will make you real-IZE

If you down with the Temple of Hip-Hop, you not no average GUY, or girl

C'mon take a critical look in my world

See the metaphysical books that I twirl and twist

Forces the ventriloquist

I'm just a dummy gettin money at this name Kris



Whassamatta you? (You) Why you lookin so sad (so sad)

KRS is back (he's back!) But you don't look so glad

Ahh shutupayouface!

KRS-One, Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone

Look, I be chillin readin a book

While the hip-hop nation repeats my hooks

All I wanna see is y'all healthy and wealthy

Yeah we already did it, really what can they tell me

About the pimps and the hoes, players and the clothes

You gets no money if you got no flow, no skill

C'mon y'all it's time to build

If you got no skill, how you gon' build?

Build, c'mon y'all it's time to build

If you got no skill, how you gon' build?



Whassamatta you? (You) Why you lookin so sad (so sad)

KRS is back (he's back!) But you don't look so glad
