DJ Revolution, KRS-One - The DJ lyrics

Yes, KRS revolution you know what this is
We back in the building, straight up
Yo, look at 'em look at 'em runnin'
Look at 'em runnin' already out the door
Let's go this is raw y'all
Know what time this is

When KRS-One comes to spit
You DJ's with no breaks
I don't wanna hear that shit the radio?
I can't even bare that shit gucci
Prada, I don't even wear that shit
I'm in the streets, holla
But y'all fear that shit
We blue collar DJ's, we're here to rip
900 number, we got two pairs of it
MP3 shit, I'm not sharin' it
Classic samples and loops, we not clearin' it
The life of DJ, there's no comparin' it
Many wanna be but many more are scared of it
Before they start they already plan to quit


The music? They no longer fans of it
They wanna use it
So they can get a grand and shit
The program director is handin' 'em scripts
Make 'em play wack shit and
Lie from they lips!

You see, there's times like this
When you need real motherfuckers like us to
Let you know what a DJ is listen man
I gotta pay you to play
My shit? Check this out
My shit's already hot so I
Ain't gotta pay for shit
You can't tell a DJ what to do
We tell you what's really good
DJ Revolution, I got you fuck these clowns

So, you wanna be a DJ live on the set?
Can't be travellin' back again
You should not forget
The beats in the street and
You have been elected
To carry the tradition of
Records being selected check it
Your job is to break new records
Go to the club, get on man and wreck shit
Seemless mixin', blends undetected
The true DJ and MC are connected
Like me and DJ Revolution
Look at what we usin'
Beats and rhymes, no confusion
Who's in the house?
If my crew's in the house?
100's of people be groovin' it out
Cuttin', mixin', scratchin' non-stop
Party rockin', two hours non-stop
If you got Serrato bravo
But if you can't cut vinyl records
You won't be able to follow me
A true MC, not a new MC
Fuck the computer it's you and me
And the crowd and oh yes they want it loud
At the tombstone of Scott La Rock, I vow
Never to let a wack DJ mix me
And I'll be spittin' this way past 60
Ain't nothin' changed but the format
Funk, soul, jungle, maaaan
You gotta play all that
Mix it up, not lick it up
The mix, a DJ should pick you up kRS-One
DJ Revolution tell me, what's the solution?

"The DJ" - Common

Yeah, you're a D dot J dot
Man don't even say that
We real in the field
Y'all pressin' play back
DJ Revolution, watch how you say dat
Y'all gonna respect this DJ from way back
Yo, hey Jack, this the payback
Y'all far from home and forgot your way back
So bein' I'm the teacher and all this
Me and DJ Revolution put
Together this short list for DJ's
So you can get on your job #1
A DJ is not an iPod
A DJ is not a jukebox, fuck your requests
You come to hear the DJ rock #2
Just because you got 20
000 songs in your computer and
You call on them
Doesn't mean you should bore the crowd
Be selective
You don't have to play all of them #3
I really shouldn't have to say this
But don't build your set from
Your PD's play list #4
DJ's across the nation
What you play in your ride
Play on the station #5
Needless to say
DJ's must love the music they play and Mix
#6 if you're good
Just because you can scratch
Doesn't mean you should
Cuttin' and scratchin' is seasonin'
When you use it
Rock it, but people wanna hear the music
So #7 let's get into this
Don't ever start a mix you can't finish
At #8 for DJ's to hear it
Don't shout your name over
Other rapper's lyrics or rhymes
#9 keep the party movin'
Play up to two verses only
Keep the party movin' #10
Find a friend
A true MC that down with you till the end
Someone who can explain what you doin'
Sorta like KRS with DJ Revolution
What are we provin'?
DJin' with MCin' together is
Hip hop's true fusion "The DJ"

Stand up for the culture don't
Just grab a check
These motherfuckers won't be here next year
What you gonna do when they fire yo' ass?
Man, you better stand with the
People dJ Revolution the originator
