KRS-One - Keep Flowin' lyrics
[KRS-One - Keep Flowin' lyrics]
I represent leadership
Readership, teachership, speakership
Culture keeper cause the culture
We're keeping it truth I'm speaking it
Critics want to weaken it
Printing gossip and bullshit and
The people believing it
Gather 'round now for the freshest guy
If you're new to hip-hop KRS is I
I don't tell no lie
That bullshit that they're talking online
That's the tactics of the FBI
Y'all falling for the same old disunity thing
That's why Malcolm X couldn't
Link with Dr king
Why William DuBois was against Marcus Garvey
Together they could have built
A strong black army
But not hardly arguments between
Bobby Seel and
Huey P newton rocked the Black Panther party
We need to wake up these strategies are old
Unity that's the goal let's go
That real shit just keeps flowing
That real shit just keeps going
That real shit just keeps flowing
That real shit just keeps going
Line after line after line after line
Since 1989 I been way ahead of my time
But it's frustrating hearing all
The hating and debating
And the faking and the waking
Man we got to reawaken
The time that we be wasting
Debating and fighting
We can see we unenlightened
Man look what we writing
You got the most advanced technology in
The palm of your hand
And all you can do is turn
Around and diss your man
That's like a baby with a loaded gun
Thinking it's a load of fun, me
I'm a little older son
We done seen dudes dies and cry and get by
We done seen cops shoot down
Blacks and just lie
So when Latifah put up U-N-I T-Y
Why didn't anyone comply, y'all living a lie
The truth is the proof and we
Got to get it straight
Revolution only works for
Those that participate
That real shit just keeps flowing
The real shit just keeps going
The real shit just keeps flowing
The real shit just keeps going
Readership, teachership, speakership
Culture keeper cause the culture
We're keeping it truth I'm speaking it
Critics want to weaken it
Printing gossip and bullshit and
The people believing it
Gather 'round now for the freshest guy
If you're new to hip-hop KRS is I
I don't tell no lie
That bullshit that they're talking online
That's the tactics of the FBI
Y'all falling for the same old disunity thing
That's why Malcolm X couldn't
Link with Dr king
Why William DuBois was against Marcus Garvey
Together they could have built

But not hardly arguments between

We need to wake up these strategies are old
Unity that's the goal let's go
That real shit just keeps flowing
That real shit just keeps going
That real shit just keeps flowing
That real shit just keeps going
