[verse one]
Let's begin
what where why or when
will all be explained
why destruction is a game
see I'm not insane
in fact I'm kind of rational
when I be asking
yo who is more dramatical
this one that one
the white one or the black one

KRS One is just the guy to lead a crew

holding a pistol

number one

many artists got to learn

I don't burn
so please stop burnin'
and learn to earn respect
'cause that's just what
KR collects
see, what do you expect
when you rhyme like a soft punk
you walk down the street and get jumped
you got to have style
and learn to be original
and everybody's gonna wanna dis you

and every sucka mc

I know that they are on the tip
my posse from the Bronx is thick
and we're real live
we walk correctly
a lot of suckas would like to forget me
but they can't
'cause like a champ
I have got a record
of knocking out the frauds in a second
on the mic
I believe that you should get loose
I haven't come t
