Philosophical

Yo turn me up just a bit, so I can hear it and spit

Reverse spit, and get tips, rehearse a hit and take tricks

Research the art just a bit, don't let me start I won't quit

But if I start I'ma flip, just like I'm startin the whip

Puttin the key into it, mentally seein it

G.O.D. believin in it, I get a fee when I spit

C-L-U-B's I just rip, I'm lyrically well equipped

Over the beats and the mix, I keep the streets in a fit

When it comes to lyrical spit, I'm the t'cha of it

Higher consciousness, truth, I'll be reachin for it

Metaphysics, here's an example cause I'm speakin of it

Put your hands in the air, but you must be aware

That even if your hands are down, ain't they still in the air?

I be takin you all the way down the road, takin you there

I'm livin and givin just a smidgen of what I share

The style that I'm kickin, lyric lickings from over there

We rockin forever, we get better with every year

With letters and intercessors I sever every fear

Lookin here, like UPS KRS takes it there

Let's make it clear, thought waves go through the air

You can act like you busy or you dizzy or you don't care

But listen here, everybody got a fear

An insecurity, some type of thing they gotta clear

So that's when I, reappear, from the rear

Philsopher, follow the bright light to right here

I might wear, light gear

Appear when you least expect it, tellin you now how to fight fear

With faith, you hear the bass, well clear the waste

You gotta get the negative cats out your face

Get that irrelevant crap out your space

Conceive it believe it decree it achieve it with HASTE!

Nuttin in the world is impossible

Listen to the shit that I drop on you

KRS-One, philosophical

Believe and achieve what you got to do

We rawwwwwwwwwk, we don't stop

Hip-Hooooooooop, we don't stop

Tick-tooooooock, we don't stop

We at the top we never drop cause true hip-hop is so hot

Some people thuggin, some be pimpin, I be teachin a lot

I be teachin about the meaning of a deeper hip-hop

That don't make me any better than a thief or a cop

All I know is when I flow, the people be shocked

You don't really want the teacher to come step on your block

With my whole glock takin everything that you've got

I'm a different type of deeper intellectual rock

For when you really wanna compete and get up off your block

You are not just doin hip-hop, you +ARE+ hip-hop

Like if you have a badge and a gun, you ARE the cop

Like if you practice medicine, you ARE the doc

You just forgot rappers rap about cars a lot

And the magazines worry about stars a lot

But I'm the sun and they avoid me BECAUSE I'm hot

The orthodox hip-hop is sure to rock

With or without a video, I'm leavin 'em all in shock, OHH!
