Boogie Down Productions, Willie D, Kenny Parker - Build and Destroy lyrics

These suckers still try to front!

With everybody so I don't
Know why they frontin

Y'all be in every party I be in every jam
I see they faces and they
Look at me and front

Break shit up all the time

Yo, I love the way I am and
Can't nobody out here change me
Rearrange me, tame me, try to game me
You don't play me
When I grab the mic then SHOCK the party spot
Your rhymes are flip-flop, I'll rock, Hip-Hop
Non-stop, me nah stop rock
You CAN touch this, but you'll get shocked
Now what's this all about? Kris and humanity
In my face you're happy
On vinyl you're mad at me
Yo, pro-blackness is your solution
But, I don't really know about
That style you using yo
Too many Teachers in the
Class spoil the school
After awhile you got blabbering fucking fools
That's worse than always talking about sex
Let's build
It ain't enough to study Clarence 13X
The white man ain't the devil I promise
You want to see the devil take
A look at Clarence Thomas
Now you're saying, "Who?" like you a owl
Throw in the towel, the devil is Colin Powell
You talk about being African and being black
Colin Powell's black, but Libya he'll attack
Libya's in Africa, but a black man
Will lead a black man
To fight against his homeland
An accomplice to the devil is a devil too
The devil is anti human
Who the hell are you?
I lecture and rap without rehearsal
I manifest as a black man but I'm universal
The capital K, small R-IS
Capital P, small A-R, capital K, small E-R
We are, the star
Without the use of a car we go far
I build and destroy!

This shit is crazy! Your
Remarks don't faze me!
People have a problem with me
Cause, I ain't lazy
I talk on vinyl then I act
What have you done, besides critique KRS-One?
I create organizations without organization
There'll be no black nation
What the fuck are you really saying?
You ain't a human while your
Music's boomin anti human
I'm assumin - if you ain't
Human you're a beast
The white man could be the devil all day
That's the least
What are you doing for yourself black man?
Trying hard to be the original man - who?
The first man, with the first tan
On the first land
With the first clan, who gives a damn?!
In history KRS is WELL advised
But, it's something that my
Brain won't memorize
I don't base my whole life on memory
I base my life on my
Spirit and body chemistry
Africa is the home of humanity
Which makes the African a humanist
Challenge me
You gotta learn not to be so concerned
With the original man, and
See the criminal man, yeah!
The now man, with the now plan
With the now tan
With the right now genocide master plan
Damn! We gotta think about stopping this
God is not any black man on
The land God is conciousness
When you understand this you'll see Kris
Until then, you can get dissed
I'm not your prophet, messiah, minister
Or savior chill with that ill behavior
I zero in like a laser
You're cuttin your wrists with a razor
I got all type of flavors
Yes I am the original teacher
You gotta study the Qu'ran, Torah
Bhagavad Gita
The Bible, Five Baskets of Buddha Zen
And when you've read them shit's
READ them shit's again!
But watch what you're repeatin
If you don't know the history of the author
You don't know what you're reading!
Yeah I'm still the original
Leaving MC's lyrically miserable
Their criminal syllables are minimal
Show me respect BOY
Cause, I build and destroy!

Now after all that
If anybody out there STILL got beef
Check it out
We rip the lecture tours, we rip the beats
We rip the jams
We'll straight up rip that ass
KnowhatI'msayin Will?

On the mic you'll get fucked up
In the clubs you'll get fucked up
Anywhere Bronx Brooklyn Queens Manhattan
Jersey Japan Staten Isle yo anywhere
You'll get fucked up
Don't you know we live for the battle?
I'm outta here yo cut that beat off
