Verse 1





Am I supposed to stand here?


These bright lights, I'll probably get a tan here


Scott, turn up the master


So I can hear, and talk faster


I'm the Blastmaster, cos I'm blasted


I know a lot of y'all are shocked that I've lasted


But Blastmaster is a subtitle


KRS ONE is more vital


And more lethal and more vicious


As the suckers always say, "He just dissed us!


He got a problem, yo, he's conceited"


I'm not conceited, they just couldn't beat it


Cos when I'm in a club I like to mingle


Seconds later they're playin' that single


Loud as a collision and pumped up dramatically


So the people in the place will automatically


Time it, and dance right behind it


Those that have it on tape will rewind it


It's not surprising, we rock parties


Anywhere, anyone, anybody


Some sound shoddy, like cardboard


But I'm blessed, praise the lord


You see I like to study, I like money


I like eatin' wheat bread with honey
