《My Philosophy(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] My Philosophy (LP Version) - Boogie Down Productions

[00:00:00] So you're a philosopher

[00:00:02] Yes yes yes yes

[00:00:08] Yes

[00:00:09] I think very deeply

[00:00:12] I think very deeply

[00:00:14] I think very deeply

[00:00:17] I think I think I think very deeply

[00:00:21] In about four seconds a teacher will begin to speak

[00:00:24] I think I think very deeply

[00:00:26] Let us begin what where why or when

[00:00:29] Will all be explained like instructions to a game

[00:00:32] See I'm not insane in fact I'm kind of rational

[00:00:34] When I be asking you Who is more dramatical

[00:00:37] This one or that one the white one or the black one

[00:00:40] Pick the punk and I'll jump up to attack one

[00:00:42] KRS-One is just the guy to lead a crew

[00:00:45] Right up to your face and dis you

[00:00:47] Everyone saw me on the last album cover

[00:00:50] Holding a pistol something far from a lover

[00:00:52] Beside my brother S-C-O-T-T

[00:00:55] I just laughed 'cause no one can defeat me

[00:00:58] This is lecture number two My Philosophy

[00:01:00] Number one was Poetry you know it's me

[00:01:03] This is my philosophy many artists got to learn

[00:01:05] I'm not flammable I don't burn

[00:01:07] So please stop burnin' and learn to earn respect

[00:01:10] 'Cause that's just what KRS collects

[00:01:13] See what do you expect when you rhyme like a soft punk

[00:01:16] You walk down the street and get jumped

[00:01:18] You got to have style and learn to be original

[00:01:21] And everybody's gonna want to dis you

[00:01:23] Like me we stood up for the South Bronx

[00:01:26] And every sucker MC had a response

[00:01:28] You think we care

[00:01:29] I know that they are on the tip

[00:01:31] My posse from the Bronx is thick

[00:01:33] And we're real live

[00:01:34] We roll correctly

[00:01:36] A lot of suckas would like to forget me

[00:01:38] But they can't

[00:01:39] 'Cause like a champ I have got a record

[00:01:41] Of knocking out the frauds in a second

[00:01:43] On the mic I believe that you should get loose

[00:01:46] I haven't come to tell you I got juice

[00:01:48] I just produce create

[00:01:49] Innovate on a higher level

[00:01:51] I'll be back but for now just seckle

[00:02:04] I'll play the nine and you play the target

[00:02:06] You all know my name

[00:02:07] So I guess I'll just start it

[00:02:09] Or should I say start this I am an artist

[00:02:11] Of new concepts at their hardest

[00:02:14] Yo 'cause I'm a teacher the Scott is a scholar

[00:02:16] It ain't about money 'cause we all make dollars

[00:02:19] That's why I walk with my head up

[00:02:22] When I hear wack rhymes I get fed up

[00:02:24] Rap is like a set-up a lot of games

[00:02:27] A lot of suckas with colorful names

[00:02:29] I'm so-and-so I'm this I'm that

[00:02:32] Huh but they all just wick-wick-wack

[00:02:34] I'm not white or red or black

[00:02:37] I'm brown from the Boogie Down

[00:02:40] Productions of course our music be thumpin'

[00:02:42] Others say they're bad but they're buggin'

[00:02:45] Let me tell you something now about hip-hop

[00:02:47] About D-Nice Melodie and Scott LaRock

[00:02:50] I'll get a pen a pencil a marker

[00:02:52] Mainly what I write is for the average New Yorker

[00:02:55] Some MC's be talkin' and talkin'

[00:02:57] Tryin' to show how black people are walkin'

[00:03:00] But I don't walk this way to portray

[00:03:02] Or reinforce stereotypes of today

[00:03:05] Like all my bruthas eat chicken and watermelon

[00:03:07] Talk broken English and drug sellin'

[00:03:10] See I'm tellin' and teachin' real facts

[00:03:12] The way some act in rap is kind of wack

[00:03:16] And it lacks creativity and intelligence

[00:03:18] But they don't care

[00:03:19] Cause the company is sellin' it

[00:03:20] It's my philosophy on the industry

[00:03:23] Don't bother dissin' me or even wish that we'd

[00:03:26] Soften dilute or commercialize all the lyrics

[00:03:28] 'Cause it's about time one of y'all hear it

[00:03:31] And hear it first-hand from the intelligent brown man

[00:03:33] A vegetarian no goat or ham

[00:03:36] Or chicken or turkey or hamburger

[00:03:38] 'Cause to me that's suicide self murder

[00:03:41] Let us get back to what we call hip-hop

[00:03:44] And what it meant to DJ Scott LaRock

[00:03:56] How many MC's must get dissed

[00:03:58] Before somebody says Don't with Kris

[00:04:01] This is just one style out of many

[00:04:04] Like a piggy bank this is just one penny

[00:04:06] My brother's name is Kenny that's Kenny Parker

[00:04:09] My other brother I C U is much darker

[00:04:11] Boogie Down Productions is made up of teachers

[00:04:14] The lecture is conducted from the mic into

[00:04:16] The speakers

[00:04:17] Who gets weaker The King or the teacher

[00:04:19] It's not about a salary it's all about reality

[00:04:21] Teachers teach and do the world good

[00:04:24] Kings just rule and most were never understood

[00:04:26] If you were to rule or govern a certain industry

[00:04:29] All inside this room right now would be in misery

[00:04:32] No one would get along nor sing a song

[00:04:34] 'Cause everyone'd be singin' for the King

[00:04:36] Am I wrong

[00:04:37] So yo what's up it's me again

[00:04:40] Scott LaRock KRS BDP again

[00:04:42] Many people had the nerve

[00:04:43] To think we would end the trend

[00:04:45] We're criminal minded an album which is only ten

[00:04:47] Funky funky funky funky funky hit records

[00:04:50] No more than four minutes and some seconds

[00:04:52] The competition checks and checks and keeps checkin'

[00:04:55] They take the album take it home and start sweatin'

[00:04:57] Why Well it's simple to them it's kind of vital

[00:05:00] To take KRS-One's title

[00:05:03] To them I'm like an idol some kind of entity

[00:05:05] In everybody's rhyme they want to mention me

[00:05:08] Or rather mention us me or Scott LaRock

[00:05:10] But they can get bust get robbed get dropped

[00:05:13] I don't play around nor do I f around

[00:05:15] And you can tell by the bodies that are left around

[00:05:18] When some clown jumps up to get beat down

[00:05:21] Broken down to his very last compound

[00:05:23] See how it sounds A little unrational

[00:05:26] A lot of MC's like to use the word dramatical

[00:05:29] Fresh for 88

[00:05:30] You suckas
