High School Rock

KRS-One

Wake up your mind black people it's ill



Superior people use superior skill



We can defeat any congressional bill at will



The hip hop nation will prevail



all problems in society with inner city philosophy



The hip hop in me must come out or die to lock in me no doubt



Executed properly



I bigin to shout out splat out approximately



three single syllable words per second



like I am God you are God, we are God, forget it



Time to sell it in a lyrical battle, I'll never jet it



Like a shot to ya head I'm embedded in your mind



With constant conscience lyrical rhyme



At the end of time, I'll be in my prime



Read the sign, men, rhymin



like an oratorical shymin



I look still but I'm climbin



Newsflash here's the latest findin



Ya whole environment created in ya mind and in ya heart



Hip-hop displays art



The highest level of mental expression, play your part




Hook:




I'm the intelligent wise on the mic (x3)



Everybody knows




All these motherfuckers tryin to be large



with their two car garage just like El DeBarge



It's played out, fadin out, over



Talk to ya broker, time to give back that Range Rover, soldier!



I told ya woe onto the hip-hop perpetrator



Wholesome like a neighbour stealin all ya flavour



Danger danger ya better rearrange ya thinkin



Check what you eatin and drinkin, ya breath is stinkin



with the stench of a snitch with information, leakin



linkin up with the enemies of Kris speakin



But I'm already in 1999



feelin fine while most MCs will be out of sight and outta mind



Rewind cos I got a little bit of time



Negativity will be wiped out by pain after turpentine



I find my rhymes combines mobility, creativity
