The Way It's Going Down - KRS-One

Yeah, yeah

Adam Dice, how you get hardcore like this?

You better watch out

They all lookin for you now

K-R-S, O-N-E, comin back for y’all

I do a little more than videos and rap for y’all

I been in many cars, known by almost every star

New rappers, old rappers, this’ll rock for any y’all

The edutainment from the pavement, Kris’ll flatten y’all

I’m like a fitted to my enemies, I’m cappin y’all

What happened y’all?

Them corporations backin y’all

You’re so desperate you can’t see that they be stabbin y’all

This that realness, come on you can feel this

Whether fresh fruit or tax my raps you can peel this

Them conscious lyrics;

hear it, it ain’t new to me

I see my influence done flipped the whole industry

Everybody’s conscious now and it’s great

Ain’t nuttin gon' stop us now y’all but the hate

And wait — hate can’t stop us either

Cause Knowledge Reigns Supreme, KRS the Teacher

Da-dee-dee, da-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee-da-dee-day

KRS, son come’ll back most every day

You have got to understand that we don’t play

Throw your hands up if you like the way it’s goin down

Look at this, look at this, LOOK~!

Grown men on the TV still jiggy

Still on the television, holdin up they pinkie

Little children lookin at 'em thinkin that it’s pretty

But let me introduce you to that gritty inner city

Where the cops be +Kurupt+ like my man from dogtown

If I unite with +Daz+ we could shut 'em all down

Hip-Hop, East West, North South we lovin it

It’s time for new leadership, time for self-government

Put a fist up!

Every real club we rip up

I spit raw conscious lyrics to lift Kris up

Never give up, see the real O.G.'s know me

But these young’uns be buggin they think they can hold me

I’m holy!

I’m livin a different dimension

I keep the crowd jumpin like hydraulic suspensions

Releasin your tension with every lyric I mention the truth

Eight years, ain’t that enough PROOF?!
