Jack Of Spades

Boogie Down Productions

* was also featured in the movie "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka"




[KRS One]



Again we start let me say my part



About the only guy who has some heart



It took some time for the heart to come



but it's HERE and everybody's in fear



Crashin through the door of that WHORE



Bringin a end to this gold chain WAR



What you saw KRS One is now seeing



Another fly human being



Making, no excuses for the losers



Chain-snatchers, pimps, drug abusers



You don't like it but you gotta keep PUSHIN



until somebody starts MUSHIN



all these suckers, claimin to rule the environment



(Nah man, I ain't buyin it)



You seem to think that everybody can be taught



that everyone else can be bought



But, you took a short, cause one guy hasn't been paid



He is the Jack of Spades!




* D-Nice scratches "Jack.. Jack.." *




[KRS-One]



He's a, calm kind of guy, courageous and loyal



But don't let the temper boil



Cause just like a pot when the whistle blows



(That's right boy, anything goes!)



The crime is commited and he's right on your tail



There's no bail, not thinkin bout jail



All the ends, are justified by the means



when Jack's on the scene



Track the movement, don't lose it



cause if he come through the back, he ATTACKS



CRACK, cocaine, cops, and more fiends



who all get the same in the heat of this gold chain GAME



Here is the aim --



destroy all the stereotypes, hypes, and crack pipes



We don't like, criminals, and crime --



but we don't pay it any mind



So here comes Kung-Fu, Joe, and Fly Guy



Slade, Hammer, and Slammer



I, am a, renegade teacher and scholar



If you ain't up on it you GOTTA



fall to the back of the line



Hear this rhyme, cause I'ma say it one more time



It's JACK'S theme song that KRS made



It's called the Jack of Spades!




* D-Nice scratches "Jack.. Jack.." *




[KRS-One]



You know, the Jack of Spades is now down with the BDP Posse



If you wanna see more, just watch me



MAN, do what I do, throw your hands in the air



And scream it out, ohh yeah "OHH YEAHHH!!"



One more time! "OHH YEAHHH!!"



(Flash the rhyme!)



Cool, guy, loud and quiet



If your head's in the way, he'll FLY IT



Don't try it, cause Jack of Spades doesn't BUY IT



He's a one man riot



Cleanin the community, of all it's debris



The C-R-I-M-E



The road was long and scary and some didn't make it



The average guy couldn't take it



But JACK, is not, the average guy



He took a piece of the pie and BIT IT



Got with it, for his brother he DID IT



So you gotta admit it



This is a martyr, a soldier, a hero



WHY? Because he started from zero



In this battle he clearly understands their power



They're payin people by the hour



to sell, to lie, to try, to stand up and deny



they are gettin everybody HIGH



High on a cable, cash under the table



Currency is how they're able



to buy the cops and props and keep the law PAID



But here comes the Jack of Spades!




* D-Nice scratches "Jack.. Jack.." *




[KRS] Break it down!




* D-Nice scratches "Jack.. Jack.." *




[KRS-One]



Fresh.. for Jack of Spades, you SUCKERS



Ha ha ha ha ha ha hah..
