[00:00.64]So you're a philosopher
[00:02.48]Yes yes yes yes
[00:06.06]
[00:08.90]Yes
[00:09.53]I think very deeply
[00:11.08]
[00:12.00]I think very deeply
[00:13.33]
[00:14.47]I think very deeply
[00:15.71]
[00:17.76]I think I think I think very deeply
[00:21.08]
[00:21.92]In about four seconds a teacher will begin to speak
[00:24.97]I think I think very deeply
[00:26.30]
[00:26.83]Let us begin what where why or when
[00:29.99]Will all be explained like instructions to a game
[00:32.16]See I'm not insane in fact I'm kind of rational
[00:34.78]When I be asking you Who is more dramatical
[00:36.82]
[00:37.54]This one or that one the white one or the black one
[00:40.01]Pick the punk and I'll jump up to attack one
[00:42.08]
[00:42.65]KRS-One is just the guy to lead a crew
[00:44.69]
[00:45.62]Right up to your face and dis you
[00:47.04]
[00:47.70]Everyone saw me on the last album cover
[00:49.49]
[00:50.33]Holding a pistol something far from a lover
[00:52.69]Beside my brother S-C-O-T-T
[00:54.94]
[00:55.69]I just laughed 'cause no one can defeat me
[00:57.64]
[00:58.51]This is lecture number two My Philosophy
[01:00.27]
[01:00.89]Number one was Poetry you know it's me
[01:02.74]
[01:03.41]This is my philosophy many artists got to learn
[01:05.88]I'm not flammable I don't burn
[01:07.96]So please stop burnin' and learn to earn respect
[01:10.62]'Cause that's just what KRS collects
[01:12.35]
[01:13.09]See what do you expect when you rhyme like a soft punk
[01:15.58]
[01:16.12]You walk down the street and get jumped
[01:18.26]You got to have style and learn to be original
[01:20.38]
[01:21.41]And everybody's gonna want to dis you
[01:23.45]Like me we stood up for the South Bronx
[01:25.53]
[01:26.08]And every sucker MC had a response
[01:28.26]You think we care
[01:29.62]I know that they are on the tip
[01:31.54]My posse from the Bronx is thick
[01:33.01]
[01:33.62]And we're real live
[01:34.79]We roll correctly
[01:35.66]
[01:36.28]A lot of suckas would like to forget me
[01:38.48]But they can't
[01:39.64]'Cause like a champ I have got a record
[01:41.83]Of knocking out the frauds in a second
[01:43.83]On the mic I believe that you should get loose
[01:46.37]I haven't come to tell you I got juice
[01:48.61]I just produce create
[01:49.97]Innovate on a higher level
[01:51.64]I'll be back but for now just seckle
[01:53.76]
[02:04.40]I'll play the nine and you play the target
[02:06.70]You all know my name
[02:07.74]So I guess I'll just start it
[02:09.19]Or should I say start this I am an artist
[02:11.98]Of new concepts at their hardest
[02:13.67]
[02:14.33]Yo 'cause I'm a teacher the Scott is a scholar
[02:16.90]It ain't about money 'cause we all make dollars
[02:18.71]
[02:19.55]That's why I walk with my head up
[02:22.21]When I hear wack rhymes I get fed up
[02:23.98]
[02:24.61]Rap is like a set-up a lot of games
[02:27.06]
[02:27.66]A lot of suckas with colorful names
[02:29.40]I'm so-and-so I'm this I'm that
[02:31.44]
[02:32.79]Huh but they all just wick-wick-wack
[02:34.06]
[02:34.73]I'm not white or red or black
[02:36.70]
[02:37.23]I'm brown from the Boogie Down
[02:39.32]
[02:40.02]Productions of course our music be thumpin'
[02:42.05]
[02:42.72]Others say they're bad but they're buggin'
[02:45.10]Let me tell you something now about hip-hop
[02:47.75]About D-Nice Melodie and Scott LaRock
[02:49.68]
[02:50.32]I'll get a pen a pencil a marker
[02:52.82]Mainly what I write is for the average New Yorker
[02:55.10]Some MC's be talkin' and talkin'
[02:57.90]Tryin' to show how black people are walkin'
[02:59.89]
[03:00.56]But I don't walk this way to portray
[03:02.39]
[03:02.96]Or reinforce stereotypes of today
[03:04.73]
[03:05.28]Like all my bruthas eat chicken and watermelon
[03:07.36]
[03:07.89]Talk broken English and drug sellin'
[03:09.97]
[03:10.54]See I'm tellin' and teachin' real facts
[03:12.43]
[03:12.98]The way some act in rap is kind of wack
[03:15.52]
[03:16.34]And it lacks creativity and intelligence
[03:17.92]
[03:18.46]But they don't care
[03:19.55]Cause the company is sellin' it
[03:20.99]It's my philosophy on the industry
[03:23.39]Don't bother dissin' me or even wish that we'd
[03:26.05]Soften dilute or commercialize all the lyrics
[03:28.77]'Cause it's about time one of y'all hear it
[03:31.19]And hear it first-hand from the intelligent brown man
[03:33.69]A vegetarian no goat or ham
[03:35.67]
[03:36.42]Or chicken or turkey or hamburger
[03:38.98]'Cause to me that's suicide self murder
[03:41.53]Let us get back to what we call hip-hop
[03:43.60]
[03:44.39]And what it meant to DJ Scott LaRock
[03:45.89]
[03:56.61]How many MC's must get dissed
[03:58.39]
[03:58.97]Before somebody says Don't with Kris
[04:01.55]This is just one style out of many
[04:04.58]Like a piggy bank this is just one penny
[04:06.72]My brother's name is Kenny that's Kenny Parker
[04:08.85]
[04:09.40]My other brother I C U is much darker
[04:11.26]
[04:11.79]Boogie Down Productions is made up of teachers
[04:14.26]The lecture is conducted from the mic into
[04:16.44]The speakers
[04:17.19]Who gets weaker The King or the teacher
[04:19.36]It's not about a salary it's all about reality
[04:21.36]
[04:21.90]Teachers teach and do the world good
[04:24.45]Kings just rule and most were never understood
[04:26.42]
[04:26.96]If you were to rule or govern a certain industry
[04:29.62]All inside this room right now would be in misery
[04:32.29]No one would get along nor sing a song
[04:34.76]'Cause everyone'd be singin' for the King
[04:36.77]Am I wrong
[04:37.32]
[04:37.85]So yo what's up it's me again
[04:39.52]
[04:40.30]Scott LaRock KRS BDP again
[04:42.63]Many people had the nerve
[04:43.81]To think we would end the trend
[04:45.28]We're criminal minded an album which is only ten
[04:47.82]Funky funky funky funky funky hit records
[04:49.60]
[04:50.74]No more than four minutes and some seconds
[04:52.82]The competition checks and checks and keeps checkin'
[04:55.23]They take the album take it home and start sweatin'
[04:57.92]Why Well it's simple to them it's kind of vital
[05:00.45]To take KRS-One's title
[05:02.48]
[05:03.28]To them I'm like an idol some kind of entity
[05:05.94]In everybody's rhyme they want to mention me
[05:08.10]Or rather mention us me or Scott LaRock
[05:10.04]
[05:10.58]But they can get bust get robbed get dropped
[05:13.13]I don't play around nor do I f around
[05:15.74]And you can tell by the bodies that are left around
[05:18.24]When some clown jumps up to get beat down
[05:20.32]
[05:21.24]Broken down to his very last compound
[05:23.76]See how it sounds A little unrational
[05:25.55]
[05:26.19]A lot of MC's like to use the word dramatical
[05:28.23]
[05:29.04]Fresh for 88
[05:30.92]You suckas
