| KRS-One:
|
| It’s always a privilege to spit with Lars
|
| I’m a reality speaker, forget them cars
|
| I’m learning how to teleport to reach to Mars
|
| When you love this and live this you spit your bars
|
| I spit a quick barrage, switch to ours
|
| Before you get burnt by all these lit cigars
|
| I spit because the time is upon us
|
| Prophecy: education, Nostradamus
|
| Are they the future, or really far behind us
|
| Past perceptions trying to find us and blind us
|
| It’s funny especially when Nostradamus
|
| And none of these prophecies saw the Obamas
|
| Life is a stage and it goes through dramas
|
| So rewrite your script and replace your commas
|
| Life is the crown-work, you’re the farmer
|
| The seed is the idea, Kris Parker!
|
| Everything’s falling apart
|
| (Can't you tell me, can’t you tell me!)
|
| Everything’s falling apart
|
| (Can't you tell me, can’t you tell me!)
|
| MC Lars:
|
| Born in 82, I voted for Obama
|
| It took ten years but they finally got Osama
|
| PAX Americana, going Seal Team Six
|
| Time to heal these kids, Kris I know they feel these riffs!
|
| Hip-hop is the culture I watch it grow and breathe
|
| The iGeneration knows exactly what it needs
|
| We’re keeping our humanity, empowerment through art
|
| Society is changing, evolution starts (you see)
|
| Hip-hop taught me how to be a man
|
| How to find my voice and love everything I am
|
| Inspired by the youth, their knowledge and their passion
|
| The way they shine the light, like Plato did in Athens (teach!)
|
| What this means is that Knowledge Reigns Supreme
|
| Over Nearly Everybody, never give up on your dreams
|
| Clean energy, equality and a cure for AIDS
|
| It’s on us 'cause we’ve got it and that’s why we keep the faith
|
| KRS-One:
|
| The weather’s going crazy
|
| The Earth’s magnetic field is getting wavy
|
| People are feeling more lazy, the future is hazy
|
| In prayer we ask, «Is this the end?» |
| and God replies, «Maybe.»
|
| The whole system is shaky and unreliable, national debt is astronomical
|
| Poor people find this desirable, screaming «I got money!» |
| when poverty is
|
| undeniable
|
| The corruption is diabolical, at times even comical
|
| I’m not typical, I’m topical, poetically philosophical
|
| Today’s education is unappliable
|
| I think with my abdominal, life is phenomenal
|
| You make it all up with your optical, every moment is optional
|
| That means anything I think in a blink is possible
|
| MC Lars:
|
| Yo, I’m in a van with my band rocking clubs, rocking pubs
|
| Worldwide and I do it for the love 'cause
|
| I see the light in the eyes of the audience
|
| The elements are heaven sent it’s awesome and it’s obvious
|
| You see, we’ve been graph writing since the hieroglyphics
|
| Breakin' since the dawn of time, 'cause we’re so prolific
|
| It’s that universal rhythm, griots on a mission
|
| Going back to Africa, with stories they were spittin'
|
| Ableton, Serrato, look how far we’ve come
|
| Before we had computers DJs beat on logs and drums
|
| Humming melodies and lyrics I can hear it in my spirit
|
| Peace to Scott La Rock, 'cause he helped to engineer it (legend)
|
| Want to spread the message of salvation over 808s
|
| Digital humanities, we candidly deflect the hate
|
| Let’s work heal the planet — hip-hop — it’s the gospel
|
| With KRS the teacha and MC Lars apostle |
