(feat. KRS-One)



Yo!



Yes

Live from New York City

Blastmaster KRS-One of the massive BDP crew

And we gonna do a little somethin like THIS!



Once again I flash a style 

That you are probably thinkin that it's about time

The reggae scene and rap music must cross the line

And party (together)

You might think I'm not for yard

But that just makes this whole routine a little odd

Cause mixin rap with reggae music is not that hard

We must come (together)

This nonsense of rap being different from reggae is a big (lie)

Black people shouldn't separate themselves in music, no reason (why)



Yes, my name is KRS

And I have come to tell you that I'm funky fresh

And Sly & Robbie simply is the nation's best

We must come (together)

Boogie Down Productions on the funky fresh lyric

Sly and also Robbie on the radical music

We can break down any system, and we break them very quick

I am teachin lyrics, Sly & Robbie on the mix

So what do you do when we're comin to your town?

Run, get your tape recorder, tape the newest sound

It's just hip-hop-reggae-reggae-reggae-reggae-rap

Done by the crew, which is ready to attack



So

Once again I flash a style 

That you are probably thinkin that it's about time

The reggae scene and rap music must cross the line

And party (together)



Boogie Down Productions, or the mighty BDP

Radiatin knowledge to a poor community

You can take this for a joke, or you can take this seriously

Hip-hop reggae takin over constantly

It's drums and bass, and conscious lyrics

Dibby-dibby sound bwoy, we just can't take it

A lot of crews come out, and dem want to try it

But KRS-One only produce the hits

Whaddaya call that, hi-hi-hit, hit-hit-hit

Nuff gun man, .45, just a clip (Bo! Bo! Bo!)

Even though dem fire shot, we just can't stop it

Cause everything we say, you know it's well intelligent



Once again I flash a style 

That you are probably thinkin that it's about time

The reggae scene and rap music must cross the line

And party (together)

You might think I'm not for yard

But that just makes this whole routine a little odd

Cause mixin rap with reggae music is not that hard

We must come (together)

This nonsense of rap bein different from reggae is a big (lie)

Black people shouldn't separate themselves in music, no reason (why)

Yes, my name is KRS

And I have come to tell you that I'm funky fresh

And Sly & Robbie simply is the nation's best

We must come (together)
