you like me

Singer:krs-one

as long as i'm dancin

actin or rappin

walkin around like

i don't know what's happenin

you like me

if i'm talkin bout drinkin

and nothin bout thinkin

as long as i'm high

and i never ask why

you like me

but the second i start with the state of the economy

black leadership

black gods and black sovereignty

that's when you can't seem to follow me

confusion

you feel like you losin

i'm no longer amusin

this song's about choosin

choosin why you cruisin

either black entertainment or the black revolution

people love to see a young black man rap

until he wakes up and realize he's caught in the trap

so as long as i'm dancin

actin or rappin

walkin around like

i don't know what's happenin

you like me

if i'm talking bout drinkin

and nothin bout thinkin

as long as i'm high

and i never ask why

you like me

but the minute i get in it bout the way these rappers spit it

the minute i start spittin that truth here comes a critic

i freestyle off the top like removin ya yankee fitted

but they not really checkin for skills

they want the gimmick

many of the challenges we face

we could solve em

but there's no trust

no unity

and that's the problem

black people fightin amongst themselves that's the problem

white people fightin amongst themselves that's the problem

us foreign policy is simply just bomb em

rebels against they own government

the us arms em

then when things get outta hand

yeah they try to calm em

more money

more diplomacy

just charm em

if that doesn't work then they move to osama"
