Down The Charts - KRS-One

You can’t still worry about the charts position

It’s the heart that you’re missing

It’s the art that you’re missing

Just a little something to hold you over

The Kris’Style album on the way, Word Up!

When you’re number one, everybody come

But when you drop to two, everybody still with you

But when you drop to three, everybody want to see

But when you drop to four, everybody still adore

But when you drop to five, people will help you to strive

But when you drop to six, you selling every mix

But when you drop to seven, people start guessing

But when you drop to eight, people hesitate

But when you drop to nine, it’s when you start to find

That when you drop to ten, you start to lose your friends

When you drop to eleven, you record stops selling

When you drop to twelve, it’s everyone for themselves

So when you drop to thirteen, you stop working

When you drop for fourteen, no more self esteem

You drop to fifteen, because you live then you seen

When you drop to sixteen, you’re now out the scene

When you drop to seventeen, you see things you’ve never seen

That when you drop to eighteen, you know what it means

So you drop to nineteen, on then to twenty

At nineteen you lose your honey, at twenty your money to a Playboy Bunny

At twenty-one things ain’t funny

At twenty-two, you don’t know what to do

So you hit twenty-three, you look for security

So you drop to twenty-four, no more can you endure

When you drop to twenty-five, at the bottom you’ve arrive

When you drop to twenty-six, you’re on old-school mix

When you drop to twenty-seven, they tell you to stop step in

When you drop to twenty-eight, you start to meditate

When you drop to twenty-nine, you expand your mind

When you drop to thirty, you see it was all dirty

When you drop to thirty-two, and it occurs to you

When you drop to thirty-three, now you can see

It’s all about skill and the love for the art

Not who’s above and who’s bellow in the chart

You gotta look in the heart, it’s there where you start

I and Hip-Hop are never ever apart, Word!
