KRS-One — True School

[Produced by DJ Jean Maron] [Intro] Strictly hip hop - that's what we're dealing with here today Feel this one more time, let's go back around Feel this, bump this in your ride Let the stress off you, yeah Bump this, leave the job in the back Leave the school in the back KRS One [Verse 1] Listen to the stile awhile the KRS is giving you I'm still repping, that's a miracle Me, I went from criminal all the way to spiritual Now the people say ''yo, KRS, there's no comparing you'' Original, down to my DNA, I'm lyrical From the golden age hip hop is what I spit at you I am the pinnacle, my level is so critical Way before the metrics KRS was metaphysical You gotta look at the fact that I still rap Hip hop culture, I live that cause I built that Others are still trapped, they're looking like field rats Using real raps to see where their next meals at If they would only feel rap and not deal rap Their whole style, man, they wouldn't have to steal that I stay fresh cause I'm hip hop, blessed cause I'm hip hop Cops wanna stress cause I'm hip hop Fuck a desk and a lunch break, cutting through that red tape Temple of hip hop, that's the escape No cure for the headaches and the failures I'm on that rastaman vibrations like Bob and the wailers I teach my kids to be sailors Cause the sea levels rising, you gonna see technical failures How many times I gotta say it?
