Krs One - Hip-Hop Is One lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

If hip-hop has the ability to corrupt young minds

It also has the ability to uplift them

(Verse)

They seein' bright visions of how we should be livin'

Unified, strong, makin' our own decisions

Hip-hop city, higher minds will listen

Some won't get it in five time per descent

But I always been ahead of the preservation mission

I always been the head of the preservation mission

And one sure way to preserve what we're spittin'

Preserve what we're writtin', preserve how we ?

Preserve our mix-it, our raw sound

And let's finally establish a hip-hop resort

Now, a place for artists from all over the Earth

Can come and find peace, can come and spit they verse

Can find support of all sorts for arts done for fun

To achieve this, hip hop we must become one!

We must become one! You know, hip-hop is one!

(Hook break)

So if we come with a balance, and play everything

We will find ourselves not reflecting just product

And market, but life itself

(Verse)

My style of rap is hard to find

I believe that every rapper has a larger mind

But they spit the sex, spit the motif, spit the crime

Cause they called it if they do it, they'd be livin' fine

People know it's only music, y'all don't mind

But every now and then I question what these rappers say in rhyme

Take the time, I send this to every rapper sending rhymes

And every DJ out there playn mine

You know I don't live for the prime time

But out of all those rap names

Young people should be able to find mine

Knowledge day is supreme, I shine, shine like the sun

It's time for hip-hop to be called one

Yeah, come on! We must become one, unity

That's what it's about, hip-hop is one!

(Hook break)

I'm crying out for balance

Along with a whole bunch of families around the world

They wanna see balance

(Verse)

So what I'm talkin' bout, I'm talkin' bout a plan fast

Where the richest hip-hopers? We buy a land mass

Put out a call to see the skull that every man has

I'll put this on the love that every fam has

Exodus, ova the sea we can pass

Int our own hip-hop city, turn ova the same grass/glass(?)

This sounds like we just found our gift

A hip-hop town is bound to uplift

Uptown has no patrons, the cops you gotta ring 'em up

Moms is safe, kids, you can bring 'em on

The streets are patrolled by doctors and lawyers

Cause you don't need law if you already have order

We are one! We must become one

You know, hip-hop is one!

Hip-hop is one! Yup, come on, we must become one

Unity, that's what it's about, hip-hop is one
