My name is at the top of all of those that mix I'm turnin poetry into cash for eighty-seven Some did it got paid, some jams were never played But I am just a poet who watched the whole parade Go by, and why? Cause they wasn't fly Others claim to be fresh, but they're not KRS I cannot walk around the street, with my head in the clouds Either runnin on my gear, or havin colors too loud Everything must coincide with the way I feel And by the way, it's Scott LaRock on the wheels of steel So I take one step, to adjust the mic I get around the whole city so I do wear Nike I like a funky beat, a studio like Unique I write the crazy fresh lyrics and I don't eat meat You can look me up and down, and my DJ too Because we make up the Boogie Down Productions crew Takin out MC's - on the 1, 2, 3 No matter who they claim to be in society Because we know their games, we have pulled their file If they need a different style we can get wild He's I.C.U., he's out to kill I'm KRS, and we get ill DJ Scott LaRock got his own beat The extravagant life, is what we seek I will tell you like this, cause I know for a fact I will live a long life, and I don't smoke crack Captivatin the crowd, seven days a week You know what they told me to say? I got the dope beat (KRS)I got a dope beat (All)You got a dope beat (KRS)I got the DOPE beat (All)We got a dope beat (KRS)I got a dope beat? (All)You got a dope beat (KRS)I got a DOPE BEAT! (All)WE GOT THE DOPE BEAT! For me to say again another of my rhyme Means what you heard before must've blew up your mind So now it's time, to find, poetry like mine Do not waste all your time because I'm one-of-a-kind Pullin out, easy goin cause the money be flowin 6'4", brown eyes, and I'm always showin Stupid MC's on the mic the way it 'posed to be done They study rhymes all week, but I be rhymin for fun When they lose they get upset, always pullin a gun But they will snap out of that, because I'm KRS-One Not two, not three, but O-N-E Get it right the first time I won't repeat this rhyme If you think that you can burn me with your amateur ways Keep in mind that I been out there, from back in the days I don't braaaaaaaaag, about the people I know Because they're still bluffin, they're not givin me nothin I can walk around the city with the rhymes I flaunt Cause no matter how you front they're still the ones you want See, I am funky fresh and poetry is my opinion Takin out you suckers while the Scott LaRock is spinnin! . *guitar interlude* . My name is KRS-One, I'm still kinda young I don't wear Adidas cause my name ain't Run Got Nike's on my feet, and to be complete I can rock an American or reggae beat Got rhymes for 70's, 80's, and 90's Not bein conceited but it won't pay to try me Out to any feud, any battle, any reason Make the rhymes up every season this style I'm just teasin Pick up the pace, homeboy, pick up the pace You're way behind schedule, listen to what I'm tellin you This particular style may vary The things I converse about are heard rarely Some can't bear me, others try to scare me Soundin intelligent but not yet equivalent!

Forget the world tonight Feed the rush Don't think too much Fall into the skies No one's gonna hold us down We will never touch the ground Only feel like lightning in my chest I want you to stay Want you to stay Give into the beauty and the mess I wanted the same Wanted the same All we have is now All we have is now 'Cause all we have is now 'Cause all we have is now Where our love couldn't lie Stars come to life Lead us to the night Surrender to the high Feel my energy The only one you'll ever need Only feel like lightning in my chest I want you to stay Want you to stay Give into the beauty and the mess I wanted the same Wanted the same 'Cause all we have is now All we have is now Only feel like lightning in my chest I want you to stay Want you to stay 'Cause all we have is now All we have is now 'Cause all we have is now

I know you're scared You wanna hide away sometimes I know you're hurt From everyone telling you lies I bet you just wanna lose your mind Oh I wonder what you're doing now And if you think about me too Cos I'm always thinking about I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about you I can't stop, I still dream about you My heart beats so lonely without you I'd climb mountains to get you here with me (with me) Still dream about you I still dream about you I can't stop, I still dream about you My heart beats so lonely without you I'd climb mountains to get you here with me (with me) Still dream about you I know you're scared You wanna hide away sometimes I know you're hurt From everyone telling you lies I bet you just wanna lose your mind Oh I wonder what you're doing now And if you think about me too Cos I'm always thinking about, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about you I can't stop, I still dream about you My heart beats so lonely without you I'd climb mountains to get you here with me (with me) Still dream about you I still dream about you Still dream about you I still dream about you I can't stop, I still dream about you My heart beats so lonely without you I'd climb mountains to get you here with me (with me) Still dream about you

I've been down every street in this city But no place that feels like home We had the chance of a new beginning Somehow I knew I'd end up alone And now I'm done with the explanations There's nothing to do or say now that we've come this far And if you don't want to see me leaving Just give me one good reason Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart It's been so long since I felt this feeling Wish that we could go back to the start Maybe I don't know what I'm missing But I know that we've been drifitng apart And now I'm done with the explanations There's nothing to do or say now that we've come this far And if you don't want to see me leaving Just give me one good reason Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Feel like I'm swimming in the deep end I don't care, I don't wanna pretend Reminding myself where I belong And I know we had some good times But everything happens for a reason It's time I go, I'm finding my way home Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart Before you, Before you break another heart
