KRS-One representing Ma 6T va Crack-er

Cercle Rouge, KRS-One

Droppin on em like this

Pick it up, pick it up

You know what time it is when KRS-One comes through

Representing all true hip hop culture

You know how we do



How can they throw you in prison now for long years

If in reality the black man doesn't belong here

Have you forgotten how we got to this place

Why then are all the jails predominantly the black race

If you dont teach me my culture I dont know who I am

I dont know the difference between my enemy and my friend

So I'm robbin and killin I got nothing to live for

You turn my father into a boy my mother into a whore

Now I'm hardcore on the Ave

Watching while people that got me to walk fast

After beatin us, rapin us and robbin us

400 years of that's what's inside of us

Take a look at me now I'm really your creation

A technological anti-human mutation

A mutation of a better way of life

You first pulled the knife but to heal it will take my whole life

I fought no force on this level

I listen to bass and treble

Thinking that the white man is the devil

Cause who could be so cruel like this

So heartless, so senseless

But I'm taught by the devil

To grow up and be a Devil

To do the same devilish things on another level

However when I act out the mission

You turn around and throw me in prison

You a sucker



[Chorus: KRS-One]



If you come from France 

and you like the breakdance say OHOH (OHOH)

And If you come from New York 

and you like the way I talk say Yeah (Yeah)



You can kill a man by taking him out of his land

And putting him in a land he really doesnt understand

Then teach him to respect Greek mythology like

Pythagorus, Ptolomies, Socrates

These people are thieves

They stole us astronomy, mathematics, all tactics of biology

Even the concept of democracy stolen from the king Akhanoton

Put down the book, use your brain

If you dont know who you are you are clinically insane

The board of education cant see that

Well it deserves to get beaten and robbed by black

Give me my frame of mind back

Give me my culture

But you dont understand that cause you a sucker



[Chorus]



I see Beauval in the house, Collinet in the house

Sarcelles in the house, Cercle Rouge in the house

KRS-One rocks the mike without a doubt

Turning parties out

You know what I am about

Cause we will be here forever I told you

Soldier floods your mind like Noah

As you get older you've got to pay attention

At how you livin hardcore

You aint a kid anymore grow up, to blow up the spot you're at

Learn the skill and go to the top of that

Cercle Rouge definitely rockin in rap

KRS-One I got your back



[Chorus]



KRS-One with the freestyle rhyme

Representing Cercle Rouge in France

All the graffiti artists

we like to breakdance to the MC yes you know that's me 

KRS-One down with the BDP

From way back you know we take it like that

Kenny P and Zizwe, Will-Dee, gods of rap

We do it like this, do it like that
