Boogie Down Productions - Poetry Lyrics
Verse one: krs-oneWell now youre forced to listen to the teacher and the lessonClass is in session so you can stop guessinIf this is a tape or a written down memoSee I am a professional, this is not a demoIn fact call it a lecture, a visual pictureSort of a poetic and rhythm-like mixtureListen, Im not dissin but theres somethin that youre missinMaybe you should touch reality, stop wishinFor beats with plenty bass and lyrics said in hasteIf this meaning doesnt manifest put it to restI am a poet, you try to show it, yet blow itIt takes concentration for fresh communicationObservation, that is to see without speakingTake off your coat, take notes, I am teachinA class, or rather school, cause you need schoolingI am not a king or queen, Im not rulingThis is an introduction to poetryA small dedication to those that might know of meThey might know of you and maybe your gangBut one things for sure, neither one of yall can hangCause yo Im like a arrow, and scott is the crossbowSay something now ... thought soYou seem to be the type that only understandThe annihilation and destruction of the next manThats not poetry, that is insanityIts simply fantasy far from realityPoetry is the language of imaginationPoetry is a form of positive creationDifficult, isnt it? the point? youre missin itYour face is in front of my hand so Im dissin itVerse two: krs-oneScott larock is innovating, decorating hip-hopThe beat may drop but not like all the othersThey just cover while I just smotherEvery single stupid mutha -- wait wait brothaKrs-one will have to show anotherMc or self-proclaimed king or queenOr gang or crew or solo or teamThat I meanBusinessSo tell me what is this?See I come from the bronx so just kiss thisBoogie down productions is somewhat an experimentThe antidote for sucka mcs and theyre fearin itIts self-explanatory, no ones writin for meThe poetry Im rattlin is really not for battlinBut if you want I will simply change the programSo when Im done you will simply say damnSo this conversation is somewhat hypotheticalBoogie down productions attempts to prove somethinI say hypothetical because its only theoryMy theory, so take a minute now to hear meVerse three: krs-oneSo whats your problem?It seems you want to be krs-twoFrom my point of view, backtrack, stop the attackCos krs-one means simply one krsThats it, thats all, solo, single, no more, no lessIve built up my credential financially and mentalAnytime I rhyme I request the instrumentalI speak clearly and thats merelyOr should I say a mere, help to my careerIm really not into fashion or crazeJust the one who pays and how soon I get a raiseYoure probably in a daze, acting out of sympathyWrote a couple of rhymes and think that you can get with meBut what a pity, Im rockin new york cityAnd everywhere else, you put the jams on the shelfYou as an amateur is outspokenIm looking at your face, you seem to be hopinThat I might stutter, stop, or just mess upBut everythings live thats why I dont dress upBlastmaster krs a synonym for freshIm the teacher of the class, I do not pass no testGot dj scott larock by my side, not in back of meCos we make up the boogie down productions crew facultyGet it right, or train yourself not to biteCos when you bite you have bitten, when I hear it, thats itI do not contemplate a battle cause it really aint worth itId rather point a pistol at your head and try to burst itIm teaching poetryIm teaching poetryScott larockWere teaching po-e-try
