Krs One - Kill A Rapper lyrics

rate me

I don't understand this man

(It's bullshit)

Why they can't ever solve the crime Marley?

Whatever happened with that Scott LaRock case man?

I don't know

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

The investigation won't go further, kill a rapper

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

Scott LaRock's a open case, unresolved

The cops never find the killer, when it's one of ours

Tupac's a open case, even though

He was killed in a open place, there's really no haste

It's sorta like we govern ourselves

Even though we lack a love for ourselves

Or is that we know this thug shit sells?

You want them pockets to swell well

Even though we know we livin' in hell, what about big L?

Hold up, let's stop frontin', let me tell you somethin'

JMJ's dead and the cops don't know nuthin'?

We gotta open our eyes to this too, this issue

Lisa 'Left Eye', we miss you

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

The investigation won't go further, kill a rapper

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

It seems like when a rapper dies, it don't matter

He simply becomes a poster, somethin' to run after

A reason for these kids to pull they guns faster

Tryin' to emulate and be like dead rappers

I roll with them visionary look-ahead rappers

From the city to the farm pushin' John Deere tractors

Bust this, in the city, there is no justice

The whole system is flawed, how could you trust this?

Crimes can't seem to be solved when it's one of us

That's why there's no forgiveness and cats just wanna bust

Hush, some people take the law into they own hand

And get burned like touchin' frying pans

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

The investigation won't go further, kill a rapper

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

Man, we lyin' too much, we dyin' too much

Mothers cryin' too much, brothers tryin' to touch

That cash and such, in they hand they want a grand to clutch

Dissin' they man and such

But Christopher Wallace is a unresolved murder

Another one is Mac Dre, I don't know if y'all heard of him

But word is grim, when it turns to sin

All hip-hoppers are next of kin

We face what we supposed to face

But when it comes to them crimes

They never seem to close the case

Yo Marley, uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

The investigation won't go further, kill a rapper

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper

There he go right there

Son, ain't even worth it, kid
