Krs-one - Problemz Lyrics
Yeah man, yo Marla what's upYeah, Inebriated Beats, big up Boston, the whole BostonEdo.G what's up man?I got youWe gon' bounce this now, can I start?Can I start?Here we go[KRS-One]I'm the newest and the truest MC on the micI wrote over 500 songs, pick what you likeIt ain't easy bein me, by day or nightBut it's easy bein free to recite what you likeHip-Hop is my inalienable rightWhen it comes to emceein KRS is a whole different typeNow go get it right, did I flow spit it tightIn a fight I was the type to go get a pipeBINK! BINK! BINK! BINK!Movin 'em backBINK! That's the sound of an aluminum batBut it seems they new to these factsWhich means they new to the tracksWhich means they do hold us backToo new to know all that but still runnin they trapDo the math, radio gets a 20 record a week streamBut only three are ever seenWhat happens to the other 17?It's a PROBLEM.. PROBLEM..PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY!We gotta solve itToo many players and not enough crimeWhen they finally wake up they woulda ran out of timeThey can't see today how they effect tomorrowToo afraid to follow, cause they trust is hollowBecause according to the laws they'll harp some sorrowYo, "Victory Over the Streets" - that's our mottoBut if people ain't got no vision, that's a PROBLEM..PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY!We gotta solve itPeople say, "Kris - why you teach so much?Why you preach so much?Why you speak and such?Why you so bent on reachin each of us?"I reply - because you eatin with usIn the future our children will be meetin with usHave a seat then with us and start speakin with usThey'll be critiquin us to be sure they believe in usWe don't need a PROBLEM..PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY!We gotta fix itWe live non-toxic, we teach that hip-hop isthe transformation of all subjects and objectsRetrain your optics, to reinterpret the topicsWe gotta stop treatin hip-hop like a productand more of a strategy; I got graphs, chartssacred textbooks, these cats can't battle meBut they try, and why?Cause that's a PROBLEM..PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY!We gotta fix thatThese cats need history to get with meBut hip-hop's history's a mysterySo how they gonna find out, trial and errorWe can make one the example for all to get betterInform, KRS is not the normI go from hot to warm to cold to hotBut hip-hop's history many forgotAnd that's a PROBLEM..PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY!We gotta solve that[interlude beat]PROBLEM.. PROBLEM IN HIP-HOP TODAY!We gotta fix that
