Testo The Devil's Crown - KRS-One

The Devil's Crown

So here I go, kickin' science since '95, while we illin'
Parental discretion is advised STILL!
Don't call me nigga, this MC goons for hits
Call me God, 'cause that's what the black man is

Whack MC's have one star gun bars
Bro what you say? Let's buck for revolution, hey shut the fuck up
Can't get with it, down to start a riot in a minute
You'll hear so many (BOOM BOOM BOOM) you'll think I'm Riddick

While other MC's are talkin' about, up with hope, down with dope
I'll have the Devil in my infrared scope
(HUH!) That's for callin' my father boy, and
(CAK CAK CAK!) That's for puttin' scars on my mothers' back

(BOOM!) That's for callin' my sister a hoe, and for you
(BOP BOP BOP) 'cause I don't give a mother fuck
Kickin' the metaphysical, spiritual, tryin' to like
Get with you, showin' you, you were invisible

(Ah yeah!) Is what you say, when you see a Devil down!
(Ah yeah!) Is what you say, when you take the Devil's crown!
(Ah yeah!) Stay alive, all things'll change around!
(Ah yeah!) What? (Ah yeah!)

This is not the first time I came to the planet
But every time I come, only a few could understand it
I came as Isis, my words they tried to ban it
I came as Moses, they couldn't follow my commandments

I came as Solomon, to a people that was lost
I came as Jesus, but they nailed me to a cross
I came as Harriet Tubman, offered the truth
To sojourn up, out the tubs

I came as Nat Turner, they tried to whip me
They tried to burn me, lynch me and scar me
So I had to come back as Marcus Garvey
Bob Marley, they tried to harm me

I used to be Malcolm X
Now I'm on the planet as the one called KRS
Kickin' the metaphysical, spiritual, tryin' to like
Get with you, showin' you, you were invisible

(Ah yeah!) Is what you say, when you see a Devil down!
(Ah yeah!) Is what you say, when you take the Devil's crown!
(Ah yeah!) Stay alive, all things'll change around!
(Ah yeah!) What? (Ah yeah!)

The black panther is the blackism for real
In my spiritual war, I turn into Bobby Seale
On the Wheels of Steel
My spirit flies away, and enters into Kwame Ture

You black people still thinkin' about votin'?
Remember the rope and?
Every president we ever had lied
You know I'm kind of glad Nixon died (Mother fuck bitch)

(Ah yeah!) Is what you say, when you see a Devil down!
(Ah yeah!) Is what you say, when you take the Devil's crown!
(Ah yeah!) Stay alive, all things'll change around!
(Ah yeah!) What? (Ah yeah!)

(Ah yeah!) Is what you say, when you see a Devil down!
(Ah yeah!) Is what you say, when you take the Devil's crown!
(Ah yeah!) Stay alive, all things'll change around!
(Ah yeah!) What? (Ah yeah!)
Mother fuck (Yeah!)
Bitch (Yeah!)
(Only a few could understand me)
