Krs One - The Lessin lyrics

(feat. April S. Williams)

Yeah.. uh-huh.. underground, never stop y'all

Underground, K.P. y'all c'mon!

[Chorus: April S. Williams]

Ain't no stoppin what we done

Don't give up this fight is won

There's no way they can hold us down

Cause with power and strength we gonna take it now

Take that stand realize the truth

Knowledge intellect bringin minds anew

There's no way they can hold us down

Cause with power and strength we gonna save you now

[KRS-One over Chorus]

Uh-huh

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh-huh

Tell them again, tell them again!

Uhh

Get 'em up now, word

Just get it up now, uh-huh

ALL OF THE MASSIVE!

[KRS-One]

B, R, O, N, X

See these cars, see these checks, intellect

See these thugs, ain't no sweat, intellect

A thousand miles, how do you do it? One step

Now check out this flow, they wanna be down, but they cain't

Original +Criminal Minded+ flow, they just ain't

ready for the real, ready to peel off the paint

Your style is fake, the teacher returns to debate

You the best? That's bull, you questionable

Highly flexible, wasn't you sexual?

Now you hardcore? You need to see God more

I sit on the faculty; you, you sophomore

[Chorus]

[KRS-One over Chorus]

Uhh, get 'em up

Yeah, get 'em up uhh

Yeah, uhh, that's right

That's right uh-huh, tell 'em again

It go.. get 'em up

Yeah, that's right, uh-huh

Uh-huh

Another Kenny Parker exclusive!

[KRS-One]

Time to get it, now you did it, tryin to spit it

You don't fit it, ask the critics, already did it, skipped the gimmicks

I don't mimic, metaphysics, you'll admit it, better to live it

better to give it, so I spit it every minute so you get it

My lyric is wicked an' full of culture y'all

Huh? Battle, nah - get back in your car

Either you never heard of me or you really wanna get with me

But as your teacher let me test you for a learning disability

You feeling me? Cause you can't, get it through your head

This is, sui-CIDE!! You're better off dead

Let me not amp you up, cause this style you can't do what

My stomach can take it and your stomach it'll cramp you up

This is, breath control, breath control stylee

I get up all in that ass that (?) heinie

Try me, back in the days you woulda had sorrow

Try the teacher today, and you won't see tomorrow cause

[Chorus]

[KRS-One over Chorus]

Uhh, we get 'em up

Uhh, that's right, get 'em up

Yeah, uh-huh, get 'em up

Yeah, ONE MORE TIME NOW!

Uhh, that's right, get 'em up

Uh-huh, uh-huh, get 'em up I HEAR YOU

Uh-huh, I HEAR YOU, WORD UP!

LOOK AT THIS!

[KRS-One]

Like a piss on the streets I exist

Not the meat but the fish

Complete the feat when I'm speakin the heat into this

Witness Kris rippin this

Don't trip on this, skip ahead if you're ready

My show medley is deadly

I'm about a hundred million mic years away

These players I don't hate, but I'm not here to play

I hit it all day, all night, all afternoon

Rock all mics from the days of sassoon

Where the hell was you? On the corner with rats

when we was at the LQ, lockin it down and that was that

Divine speaker, mind keeper, time teacher, time leader

I'll be sittin in the club by the speaker

Waitin for you rappers to choke up then I eat ya

like some prehistoric winged creature, AHHH!

On your neck, like the American eagle facin East and West

I be the best, Blastmaster KRS cause

[Chorus]

[KRS-One over Chorus]

We get 'em up

Uhh, yo, we get 'em up

Like, YEAH, I SEE IT OVER THERE

I SEE IT OVER THERE, IT'S.. YEAH IT'S OVER HERE!

Uhh! Uhh, one more time we get it up

Yeah, yeah, we get it

Uhh, uhh, IT'S OVER HERE NOW!

IT'S OVER HERE NOW! UHH!

[April and KRS-One ad lib]
