Like A Throttle

Boogie Down Productions

[KRS One]



*snapping fingers and singing*



Ha ha hah hah! Da doo doo doo do doo



You wanna test me are you stupid?



Gotta be out of your FUCKIN mind



KRS One is the DON seen?



Come down Kenny Park ah!!



Hahaha you know



I don't know what your management be tellin you



I don't know what your producers be tellin you



But yo you step this way



You're gettin PLAYED out of position



So let me give you a little style



Check it out



Everytime KRS-One steps in the jam



The party is packed, he got the mic in his hand



Brooklyn's ready Uptown's in the house



Kenny drops the beat and we turn the party out



That's it! None of the gimmicks, tricks, oh it's



you either have the hits, or the crazy hype lyrics



But MC's come half-assed, and lookin pitiful



None of em lyrical but their ego is critical



Like I said I'm not a Muslim but to Allah I'm obedient



Some MC's on the mic become Muslims when it's CONVENIENT



And I've seen it!



Real Muslims praise Allah, and they mean it



Others are dreamin it with Sex Me and Do Me and



I'd rather listen to the Brand Nubians



You know it's funny everybody wants money



And material things from cars and chicken wings



When they sing, they sing for the cash



They fail to realize, respect will outlast cash



You get respect by bein creative



and yes a native to your audience, so you know reality



In other words, if you ain't a gangsta why play you a gangsta?



If you ain't a hoe, why sell sex?



If you believe in Allah, how is it you can only work when there's a



check?



All of this is incorrect



First should always come respect



The charts are not equal to the respect of the
