作词 : KRS One
You know.. life is funny..
If you don't repeat the actions of your own success you won't be successful
You gotta know your own formula, your own ingredients.What made you, YOU..
1987 I was at the Latin Quarters
Listenin to Afrika Bambaata give the order
The call of the order was to avoid the slaughter
He said, "Record companies ain't got nuttin for ya!"
Without a lawyer, he taught The Infinity Lessons
In how hip-hop could be a, many a blessing
And that was great, so in 1988，there was no debate, we had to end the hate Afrika
The name of the game was "Stop the Violence" and unity, knowledge, and self-reliance
We - started talkin bout Martin and Malcolm
Had these ghetto kids goin, "Huh, what about him?"
1989, Professor Griff speaks his mind but his freedom of speech is declined
1990 came with the West coast.East coast, West coast, who is the best coast? 1990
Lookin back now, of COURSE it was bogus.The whole argument was where we lost focus
We got hopeless; not with the lyrics and music but with hip-hop, and how we used it
Or abused it, you know how the crew get."You like it cause you choose it"
1991, we opened our eyes with Human Education Against Lies,we tried to talk about the state of humanity 1991
They called me "Captain Human", another message was sent"Self Destruction don't pay the {******} rent"
Remember that? Nobody wanted conscious rap
It was like - where these ballers at?Where can they call us at? All was wack
Hip-Hop culture was fallin flat and that was that
So in 1992, I found my crew.They said, "Yo Kris, what you wanna do?"
I said, "Damn - why they wanna get with me?If I bust they {****} I'm contradictory.
If I play the ***** role, they take my shoe.Tell me what the {****} am I supposed to do?"
So I did it, don't stop get it get it get it.All of a sudden these critics they wanna spit it
"Kay Are Ess One is con-tra-dic-to-ry"Just cause I wouldn't let these rappers get with me
{****} that, {****} you and {****} your pen.If a rapper wanna diss, yo I'd do it again
But I'm makin these ends, and I got my friends
And I really don't wanna have to sit in the pen.So I go back to the philosopher
1993 hip-hop is uhh.. wack.Go back, check the facts
1994, "Return of the Boom Bap"It wasn't all about the loot.It was all about Harry Allen Rhythm Cultural Institute 1
Blowin up, 1995.Conscious rap is still alive
But nobody wanna play it, nobody wanna say it.Nobody okayed it, they'd all rather hate it
1996 it really don't stop.We put together somethin called the Temple of Hip-Hop
Not just DJin, breakin, graf and lyrics.But how hip-hop affects the spirit
"Step Into a World," that's what I did “
1997 I was raisin my kid or kids, but I, had to go 1997
Cause New York DJ's changed the flows to clothes and hoes, but that wasn't me
I'll be damned if I dance for the MTV
So in 1998 I began to debate.Should I go now, or should I really wait?
'99, I moved to L.A. you see and took a gig with the WB
Started studyin philosophy full-time.To have a full heart, full body, full mind
But you know what the problem is or was?
DJ's don't raise our kids, cuz they so caught up in the cash and jewels DJ
How they gonna really see a hip-hop school?How they gonna really see a hip-hop temple?
They don't even wanna play my instrumentals, but big up Dr. Dre, Snoop, Xzibit
Especially Xzibit, he was there in a minute
Mic Conception, all of them, said"Yo you need help? I should call them"
When I was in L.A., I held the crown.Bloods, Crips, they held me down
I could never forget Mad Lion, killer pride with the gat in the lap in the low-ride
Oh I can't forget, Icy Ice, Lucky Lou.Julio G, that was the crew Davey D, Ingrid, David Connor
The list goes on and on, let me tell ya FredWreck, and my man Protest.Much respect, no less
To my spiritual and mental defenders.Big up to L.A., temple members
But in 2000, I seen how I wanted to live.I wasn't no executive
So I picked up the mic and I quit my job.Said to Simone I gotta get with God
She said, "Don't worry bout these dollars and quarters.Record companies ain't got nuttin for ya."
Damn, she took me back to Bam!.Took me back to who I am!
Brought me back to the New York land!Now I overstand!..
{interviewer}Now KRS-One, now you've been quoted as saying that rap is something we do, hip-hop is something you live.
{KRS} Yes! KRS-ONE:
{interviewer}Explain that to us please.
{KRS-One}Well, well, today hip-hop, we are advocating that hip-hop is not,just a music, it is an attitude, it is an awareness, it is a way to view the world.
So rap music, is something we do, but HIP-HOP,is something we live.
And we look at hip-hop, in it's 9 elements;
which is breaking, emceeing, graffiti art, deejaying, beatboxing,street fashion, street language, street knowledge, and street entrepenurialism - trade and business.
And uhh, that's where y'know that's the hip-hop that that that we're about.
We come from the uhh the root of, of Kool DJ Herc, who originated hip-hop in the early
and then Afrika Bambaata and Zulu Nation (mmhmm) who instigated something called The Infinity Lessons
and added conciousness to hip-hop, and then Grandmaster Flashwith the invention of the mixer, on to Run-D.M.C. and then myself.
And uhh, we created the "Stop the Violence" movement, you may recall a song, "Self Destruction" and and and so on.
All of this, goes to uhh uhh, the idea of LIVING this culture out and taking responsibility for how it looks and and acts in society.
