{*30 seconds in: DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Cocaine business controls America Ganja business controls America KRS-One come to start some hysteria Illegal business controls America [KRS-One] One afternoon around eleven o'clock It was freezin cold, he was standing on the block Sellin cheeba, nick's and dimes Sayin a rhyme just to pass the time The cops passed by, but he stayed calm Cause the leather trench coat was keepin him warm But this time they walked by real slowly He thought to himself, "They look like they know me" They drove away, but he didn't stay He jumped in the cab and he paid his tab But guess who he saw when he hit the block It was the same cop car, the same two cops They jumped out quick, they pulled a gun They said, "Don't try to fight and don't try to run Cooperate and we will be your friend Non-cooperation will be your end" He jumped in the car, and while they rode they ran down the list of things he owed They said, "You owe us some money, you owe us some product Cause you could be right in the river tied up" He thought for a second and he said, "What is this? You want me to pay you to stay in business?" They said, "That's right, or you go to prison cause nobody out there is really gonna listen to a hood," so he said, "Good! I'll pay you off for the whole neighborhood" Because Cocaine business controls America Ganja business controls America KRS-One come to start some hysteria Illegal business controls America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} [KRS-One] A guy named Jack, is sellin crack The community, doesn't want him back He sells at work, he sells in schools He's not stupid, the cops are the fools Cause everyone else seems to go to jail But when it comes to Jack, the cops just fail They can't arrest him, they cannot stop him Cause even in jail the bail unlocks him So here is the deal, and here is the facts If you ever wonder why they can't stop crack The police department, is like a crew It does whatever they want to do In society you have illegal and legal We need both, to make things equal So legal is tobacco, illegal is speed Legal is aspirin, illegal is weed Crack is illegal, cause they cannot stop ya But cocaine is legal if it's owned by a doctor Everything you do in private is illegal Everything's legal if the government can see you Don't get me wrong, America is great place to live But listen to the knowledge I give Cocaine business controls America Ganja business controls America KRS-One come to start some hysteria Illegal business controls America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Illegal business controls America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Illegal business controls America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Illegal business controls America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} KRS-One come to start some hysteria {*DJ scratches "What what what what, what what what what, What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Cocaine business controls America Ganja business controls America KRS-One come to start some hysteria Illegal business controls America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Yeah, illegal business controls America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Yeah, KRS-One come to start some hysteria {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Yeah, BDP takin over America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Ganja business controls America {*DJ scratches "What can we get for 63 cents?"*} Cocaine, sensai Aspirin, coffee Morphine, sugar Tobacco, got to go {*DJ scratches "What what what what, what can we get.."*} Illegal business controls America {*DJ scratches "What what, what can we get.."*} Yeahhhhh, ganja business controls America {*DJ scratches "What what what what what what, what can we get for 63 cents?"*} Yeahhhhh, cocaine business controls America {*DJ scratches "What what what what.."*} Illegal business controls America
