throw down

let's do it!

when i say how then you say ho

and if somebody say thug then you say so

cuz theres hell below and you ain't tryin to go

so get ready for the throw down

headz catch wreck and bums get done

b.d.p. cold crush & krs one

nowhere to hide

nowhere to run

so get ready for the throw down

throw down

low down

mc's get throw down

i mastered the sentence

paragraph & pronouns

i think you oughta go down

you cant stand the blow of toe to toe now!

that you heard all the rap criminals

skills minimal

dispicable

check out the rhyme original

indivisible justice for all

before ya learned to walk

you gots ta learn to crawl

before ya learned to crawl

you gots to be born

now before you were born

your folks had to get it on

the point to the matter comin from the blastmaster

is hip hop culture might be headed for disaster

all these wack rappers don't know the past data

they act like hip hop history doesn't matter

so when you see krs one brace the stage

the difference that you see

has to do wit my age

fresh in 74.fresh in 75

fresh in 76 when mc's rocked live to cassette

fresh in 77 don't forget

fresh in 78 on a turntable set

in the new millenium i'll be aroused in your mind so. what does it take to be a real mc?

it means you can't write rhymes for the tv

cuz a real mc

whether amatuers or pros

mc that knows how to rock live shows

another thing while i sing mc talk

a real mc never diss new york

cuz if you knew the time while your rhymin mc'n

you'd know that new york is hip hop's garden of eden

and if this ain't sacred

we neva gonna make it

your disin your very own hip hop tradition

you know why when i grab the mic i'm superior

cuz i was at the roxy and danceteria

krs a product of respect and courtesy

while the rapper is a product of the record company

i'm not braggin but this is what hip hop is achievin

it's becomin all rap and no mc'in

still we ain't seein

cuz still we ain't believin

the west and the east of hip hop can cease

hey yall this is true

the boys in blue gotta plan for you

don't mess wit the suits cuz they do too

so whatcha gonna do

tried to be the best

live positive and free from stress

don't limit yourself to east or west

whose the very best. krs.i warm up your chest while your bones untangle

the lyrics hit your head then goes down your ankle

i'm saved for rainy days like casserole

then rediscovered later like the dead sea scrolls

you wanna get out the ghetto

the projects and profit

but first negativity you gots to stop it

big up the east coast and the west coast

but you cant big up no coast when your ghost

i can see now how the other man stole rock and roll

and guitar rippin cuz we was bullshit

sick of eatin chicken

but fix it theres time tickin

we spittin and complainin but the worlds rearrangin

still we doin the same

whose to blame we don't need this

its not black strangness

its black weakness
