Lyric:
Where the real at?
Where the real at?
Yeah

Yo, where I come from gats bust for nothin'
Thugs, ministers, cops, teachers, all be hustlin'
Your family's the only one ya trustin'
Clubs be jumpin', redesigned cars be bumpin'

Now there's ranks supreme KRS is a free man
In hip hop culture
I'm like Allen Greenspan
I tell the culture what's hot and what's not

Now look who's on top and look whose shit just dropped
We ain't about sellin' records
We ain't music merchants
We emcees, we go straight to the club and hurt shit

New York, New Jers', Boston, come on
California, D.C., Baltimore, come on
Texas, Atlanta, New Orleans, come on
Philly to Chicago, Carolinas, come on

Memphis to Nashville, Colorado, come on
Detroit to Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, come on
Seattle to Miami, Arizona, come on
San Fran', Oakland, hip hop, come on

Down to the spot this is real hip hop
Join this movement them other cats steal a lot
You can feel the knowledge of self or feel this glock
I'm authentic, KRS I'm really hot

Yo, what up Fat Joe that's my nigga for life
Remember when Pun fell off the stage, right on my wife
In the Bronx, we all laugh about it today
What up Freddie Fox, 2 Glocks, Pik and Spay

Dr.Dre, all day, both of them
Dr.Dre with Ed Lover and the one with Eminem
This a movement, all over the world we reach
I can prove it, all over the world I teach

You hear that Dr.King, ?I have a dream?, speech a lot
But no where is it manifested but in hip hop
While them other cats be lookin' for a radio song
I'm in Washington Heights, puttin' them Dominicans on

You can feel it, I'm strong, I last longer lets do it
You want the real hip-hop well, join this movement
We ain't about sellin' records, we ain't music merchants
We emcees we go to the club and straight hurt shit

Utah, Minnesota, Mexico, come on
V.A., Arkansas, Portland, come on
Indiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, come on
East St.Louis, Milwaukee man, come on

Montreal, Toronto, Canada, come on
East Coast, West Coast, Dirty South, come on
Mid-West, Bible Belt, up-top, come on
Hip hop, come on
Hip hop, come on

It'S All A Struggle - Lyrics - Kristyles - Krs One

Title: It'S All A Struggle
Album: Kristyles
Artist: Krs One
Composer(s): J Ortiz, Vic Padilla, Kris Parker, Mike Herard

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
It's all a struggle
(Tryin' to make it day to day)
It's all a struggle
(From my hood to around your way)

It's all a struggle
(Single parents all by thyself)
It's all a struggle
(Diseases decreasin' your health)

It's all a struggle
(Fiends swearin' that's they last puff)
It's all a struggle
(Hustler tryin' to avoid handcuffs)
(No matter what you do, who you are or where you from)
(Rich, poor, black, white, at the end of the day)

It's all a struggle and most people's struggles are doubled
You ain't the only one with a challenge facin' some trouble
Look at the woman chewed up by the dog with no muzzle
Or the workers that got trapped underground in that tunnel
Some kids are playin' in pools, others in puddles
When they listen to the news the propaganda is subtle
But it's time for you to know that the cryin' got to go
Release the guilt that you built and let it flow

Slow and low, that is the tempo
Move slow and on the low, this you gotta know
You don't get the muscles without the hard struggles
You ain't the only one out here tryin' to get dough
From the hustler to the preacher, to the government leaders
From the airline pilot to the chef, to the teachers
We linked in the same huddle, in the same tussle 'n' bustle
'Cuz at the end of the day it's all a struggle

It's all a struggle
(Tryin' to make it day to day)
It's all a struggle
(From my hood to around your way)

It's all a struggle
(Single parents all by thyself)
It's all a struggle
(Diseases decreasin' your health)

It's all a struggle
(Fiends swearin' that's they last puff)
It's all a struggle
(Hustler tryin' to avoid handcuffs)
(No matter what you do, who you are or where you from)
(Rich, poor, black, white, at the end of the day)

It's all a struggle but don't let the challenges bug you
Or the government drug you, or the thieves in the street
Beat and mug you, build your tunnel under the rubble
Come up on the other side eye to eye with the trouble
Look at the Twin Towers crumble
Look at the religious leadership stumble, everybody struggles
But not everybody comes through nifty, it's fifty, fifty
The city itself will outrun you quickly

Whether you be healthy or sickly
Whether you be wealthy or thrifty, ugly or pretty
Everybody's tryin' to get 50's and 100's
I taught this at UCLA just off sunset
Now run, get, "Ruminations"
It's a book that I published for the healing of this nation
In just a few chapters we run through, some possible solutions
'Cuz at the end of the day

It's all a struggle
(Tryin' to make it day to day)
It's all a struggle
(From my hood to around your way)

It's all a struggle
(Single parents all by thyself)
It's all a struggle
(Diseases decreasin' your health)

It's all a struggle
(Fiends swearin' that's they last puff)
It's all a struggle
(Hustler tryin' to avoid handcuffs)
(No matter what you do, who you are or where you from)
(Rich, poor, black, white, at the end of the day)

It's all a struggle

Ain'T The Same - Lyrics - Kristyles - Krs One

Title: Ain'T The Same
Album: Kristyles
Artist: Krs One
Composer(s): J Ortiz, Vic Padilla, Kris Parker, Mike Herard

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
You know it's Kris

It ain't the same now (it ain't the same)
They switched the game now (they switched up on us)
They talk 'bout chains now (bling bling)
Rims on the Range now
It's sounding plain now
Y'all rock the same style (sound of the mic)
I know the way how (I know)
Bring it back to one
It's supposed to be

This is the way it's supposed to be
It's supposed to be like you more close to me
It's supposed to be about our families
It's supposed to be about avoiding catastrophe
But it's all about salary and flattery
Distrust, lust, hate and tragedy
It's supposed to be about you and me on the same route
Were you there in eighty-six when I first came out?
And you know about how they runnin' this game out
It's supposed to be about fun and getting' the pain out
But it's all about clout and poppin' them chains out
Instead of forgiveness, we poppin' they brains out
It's supposed to be about seekin' in the seek out
You witnessin' injustice, you got to speak out
If you claimin' you love this, you got to release doubt
Knowledge is what I'm all about

It ain't the same now (it ain't the same)
They switched the game now (they switched up on us)
They talk 'bout chains now (bling bling)
Rims on the Range now
It's sounding plain now
Y'all rock the same style (sound of the mic)
I know the way how (I know)
Bring it back to one
It's supposed to be

Well it's supposed to be sunlight over me
Light over you, not you runnin' over me
It's supposed to be a two dollar royalty minimum
A Hip hop guild we got to begin buildin' 'em
It's supposed to be no police brutality
And the fact that we tolerate that crap is insanity
It's supposed to be museums and archives
Where people can see the importance of our lives
But it ain't about any of this
Cats are trying to get that diamond-studded Rolex on they wrist
You hear a voice in the wilderness-you know it's Kris
Higher consciousness lyrics, they will persist
But it's supposed to be about makin' it better
You see, Hip hop's not a product like pants or sweater
Go ahead-be a hero, get your cheddar
Even y'all gonna see when you look back you remember that

It ain't the same now (it ain't the same)
They switched the game now (they switched up on us)
They talk 'bout chains now (bling bling)
Rims on the Range now
It's sounding plain now
Y'all rock the same style (sound of the mic)
I know the way how (I know)
Bring it back to one
It's supposed to be

You can see in your heart how it's supposed to be
You doin' your part, that's how it's supposed to be
Pursuin' your art, that's how it's supposed to be
Today you will start, that's how it's supposed to be
It shouldn't be about you movin' slowly
Then talkin' junk when you don't even know me
And you cats be pussy like Josie
I Touch "50 MC's" like Tony
Everybody in the hood ain't your homie
I spit the truth, but I'm not the only
There's plenty
K-R-S-O-N-E

It ain't the same now (it ain't the same)
They switched the game now (they switched up on us)
They talk 'bout chains now (bling bling)
Rims on the Range now
It's sounding plain now
Y'all rock the same style (sound of the mic)
I know the way how (I know)
Bring it back to one
It's supposed to be

Underground - Lyrics - Kristyles - Krs One

Title: Underground
Album: Kristyles
Artist: Krs One
Composer(s): W Dewgarde, Dewgarde. E Kris Parker

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
What does it mean to be underground?
It means you gotta be free to be underground
Yo, you got your own key when you're underground
If you're listening to me yo you underground

It's time that I open with a thunder sound
Now look around your own town for the underground
Yo, you rhymin for the TV or a million Cd's?
You ain't a MC, you ain't underground

You could be platinum or gold, hot or cold
But it's the respect you hold that's underground
When the critics don't get, that for the streets you spit it
When your lyric they fear, that's underground

Yeah what does it mean to be underground?
It means you gotta be free to be underground
Yo, you got your own key when you're underground
If you're listening to me yo you underground

Yo, white kids, black kids, skinny kids, fat kids
Them Asian cats be underground
Chicanos, Palestinians, Milanos, fuck the lone ranger
Where's Tanto? That's underground

Freddie Fox, Blackalicious, Kweli
M.O.P., Gangstarr that's underground
Mad lion, Smif-N-Wessun, Buckshot
Armageddon T.S. that's underground

What does it mean to be underground?
It means you gotta be free to be underground
Yo, you got your own key when you're underground
If you're listening to me yo you underground

Yo, the t'cha returns, I told y'all I went to Cali to learn
And that shit was underground
If the cops be eyein' you 'cause survive is what you try to do
Yo I'm wit you, you underground

If it's justice you want and you protest the ice they flaunt
You want skills that's underground
Yo it's not about a rugger, rapper, or an actor
It's about your subject matter that's underground, look

What does it mean to be underground?
It means you gotta be free to be underground
Yo, you got your own key when you're underground
If you're listening to me yo you underground, alright

Chevonne Dean from Ruff Ryders, all the outsiderz
Young Zee, that's underground
When all your money's spent and you're still hangin' on
To 50 Cent, get it, you underground

When you rep the collective consciousness of hip-hop
Not hip-pop, you underground
Yo it ain't about jewels, bitches and cars
It's about Nas, that's underground, yo

What does it mean to be underground?
It means you gotta be free to be underground
Yo, you got your own key when you're underground
If you're listening to me yo you underground

To be underground simply means that you're down
For the struggle, get 'em up, that's underground
You could be a classy lady or a whore
But if you protest the war, for sure, you underground

If the government can't see you or deceive you
You love your people, believe you underground
If you refuse to play the game, you go against the grain
You ridin' the train, you underground, get it

What does it mean to be underground?
It means you gotta be free to be underground
Yo, you got your own key when you're underground
If you're listening to me yo you underground

Yo, yo, that blast from the past, like Grandmaster Caz
Bam and Flash, that's underground
Doug E. Fresh, Lord Finesse, KRS
If you listenin' to this you underground

Turn it up now KRS about to show you how
They go wow, blaow for the underground
Mr. Walt, Evil Dee, KRS, BDP
Kenny P, that's underground, do it

What does it mean to be underground?
It means you gotta be free to be underground
Yo, you got your own key when you're underground
If you're listening to me yo you underground

Alright turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up if you underground, listen
Sure shall

Somebody - Lyrics - Kristyles - Krs One

Title: Somebody
Album: Kristyles
Artist: Krs One
Composer(s): W Dewgarde, Kris Parker

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Oh, do it now, oh, do it now
Yeah, we celebrate diversity in the university
Everybody can't be a queen, everybody can't be a ho and a bitch
(Ha ha)

Everybody can't be a philosopher
Some of y'all gotta load up the clip
Word up, watch this

It goes 1, 2, 3 we the best
Knowledge Reigns Supreme, as you can see, or KRS
You don't wanna test the team, why get a vest
You don't wanna be cursed in a verse, by the blessed

KRS with the sound for the eat and the west
Follow no, follow no, follow no, follow no beast on a quest

Somebody gotta be fresh
Somebody gotta be wack
Somebody gotta be the MC
Somebody gotta do the rap

Somebody gotta be smart
Somebody gotta do that
Somebody gotta do art
Somebody gotta be black

Somebody gotta have heart
Somebody gotta be white
Somebody gotta do their part
Somebody gotta be bright

Somebody gotta be up
somebody gotta be down
Somebody gotta be the teacher
Somebody gotta be the clown

Somebody gotta be lost
Somebody gotta be found
Somebody gotta be in the economy making the money go round
Somebody gotta be the president

Somebody gotta get down
Somebody gotta be hesitant
Somebody gotta be relevant
Somebody gotta be celibate

Somebody gotta be having their sex in a lex for the hell of it
Somebody gotta be intelligent
Somebody gotta be illiterate
Somebody gotta go all the way

Somebody gotta go a little bit
Somebody got to be an idiot
Somebody gotta be belligerent
Somebody gotta be hip hop

'Cause somebody else is living it
Somebody gotta be spitting it
Somebody gotta be ignorant
Somebody gotta be holy

But somebody gotta have sin in it
Somebody gotta be losing it
Somebody gotta be winning it
Somebody gotta be flippin' the style I'm kicking just a little bit

Somebody gotta be into it
Somebody gotta be out of it
Somebody gotta be up for it
Somebody gotta be doubtin' it

Somebody gotta be running it
Somebody gotta be all that
Somebody don't even known that
Somebody gotta come right here

Somebody else gotta go back
Somebody gotta be scheming
Somebody gotta be a witness
Somebody gotta be seeing in the meaning is different

Somebody else gotta be somebody
For some else to be somebody
Somebody else to run into to wealth
To try to create one body

One aim, one God, one destiny
I'm not non-violent, you can back up off of me
I sip my tea, and cock back three
One for Tiny Tim, Mr. Walt, and Evil Dee

I hope you all see, the need for unity
I'll never stop speaking about Marcus Garvey
Kwame Ture or Malcolm X all day
Black leadership today is all play

Y'all play, y'all immature black behavior
Is worse than being a trader
Do on to others
As you would have done do to your neighbor

Big up to my philosophy majors
Free Mumia Abu-Jamal from the cages
We writes the pages and teach all ages
Justice, tell me what we want now

Justice, for Mumia Abu-Jamal
Or justice for Amado Dialo
Justice, there is no peace without
(Justice)
All dem mercy, now watch this

I sing, 1, 2, 3 we the best
Knowledge Reigns Supreme, as you can see, or KRS
You don't wanna test the team, why get a vest
You don't wanna be cursed in a verse, by the blessed

KRS with the new sound for the eat and the west
Follow no, follow no, follow no, follow no beast on a quest
Follow no, follow no, follow no, follow no beast on a quest
Follow no, follow no, follow no, follow no beast on a quest
Follow no, follow no, follow no, follow no, follow no
Follow no, follow no, follow no

Follow no beast, on a quest
Do you hear me?
Follow no beast, on a quest
Word

Hip Hop ya don't stop
Tiny Tim ya don't stop
KRS ya don't stop
