Dope Beat

Boogie Down Productions

My name is that top of all of those that mix



Turnin poetry into cash for eighty ... seven



Some did it got paid some jams were never played



But I am just a poet who watched the whole parade



Go by and why? Cos they wasn't fly



Others claim to be fresh



But they're not KRS



I cannot walk around the street with my head in the clouds



Either runnin on my gear or havin colors too loud



Everything must coincide with the way I feel



And by the way, it's Scott LaRock on the wheels of steel



So I take one step to adjust the mic



I get around the whole city so I do wear Nike



I like the funky beat



A studio like to meet



I write the crazy fresh lyrics



And I don't eat meat



You can look me up and down, and my DJ too



Because we make up the Boogie Down Productions crew



Takin out MC's on the 1, 2, 3



No matter who they claim to be in society



Because we know their games, we ?appall their? ???



If they need a different style we can get ?large?



He's I.C.U., he's out to kill



I'm KRS and we get ill



DJ Scott LaRock got his own beat



The extravagant life is what we seek



I will tell you like this cos I know for a fact



I will live a long life and I don't smoke crack



Captivatin the crowd 7 days a week



You know what they told me to say? I got the dope beat



For me to say again another verse of my rhyme



Means what you heard before must've blew up your mind



So now it's time to find poetry like mine



Do not waste all your time because I'm one-of-a-kind



Pullin out, easy goin cos the money be flowin



6'4", brown eyes, and I'm always showin



Stupid MC's on the mic the way it 'posed to be done



?They? study rhymes all week but I be rhymin for
