[KRS-One]
Who was the first to flash the heat on the cover?
Who was the first crew to go against another?
Who was the first to go acapella on a video replay?
Who was the first to lose a DJ?
Who was the first to teach at Yale?
Who was the first to hit that hip-hop reggae, on the nail?
Who was the first to say Stop the Violence
and teach that real bad boys move in silence?
You`re soon to see the mindbendin rhyme weapon
Get more busy than two-two-three-double-nine-seven
All these rappers, swear they the best
I know whatchu thinkin about, ``Where`s KRS?``
Eighty percent of these rappers fake they {shit}
The other twenty percent they goin upstate and {shit}
There`s no way out except knowledge and wisdom
I got it so I spit `em you ain`t got it you gotta get `em
Who was the first to produce mix and write
at the same time up in the club rockin the mic?
Who was the first to have a DJ and a side man?
The first to say what is hip-hop? ``I AM!``
Who was the first to produce gangster {shit}?
Put out, gangster hits with a gangster click?
Not no prankster {shit}, Steady B, Mad Lion
Just-Ice, Shabba Ranks and {shit}
My Channel is Live, my only battle is Jive
MC to MC, you won`t survive
You`ll be censored cause my Crew is 2 Live
I ascend like Christ and watch you die
[KRS-One]
I`m like Noah, I`m takin `em, two by two
I took, them and them and I`ll take, you and you
Be I`m right or be I`m wrong
You`ll see I`m tight with this mic, you should be like, ``B I`m gone``
But you still i Send " Attendance" Ringtone to your Cell
