KRS-One - Krush Them lyrics

We crush, them, and they click
Let me tell you right now
What you supposed to get
You supposed to get free and intelligent
Not a platinum plaque, that's irrelevant
We CRUSH, THEM, and they crew
Let me tell you right now
What you supposed to do
While they floss with the chi
Ching and all the rings
You stay focused, keep doin your thing
You cannot get the diamond ring
If you can't really sing
Or if you haven't got a skill
That you ready to fling
What you bringin to the table
If you not really able
Tryin to get to the top
Like the Tower of Babel back in the days
Remember all the old gold cables
Where they at now? Sold


When they dropped from the label
All the money they gave you
Made you very unstable
They really enslaved but you wasn't able
With the coke in your nasal to see
You up in the crib but
They rockin your cradle
You a joke and you fatal, they made you an MC
Meaning: Most Confused
Not E-M-C-E-E, that's what I use
Many people really wanna know from me
When I'mma drop and they can go cop
The next LP or CD, or T-A-P-E you see
It's about word of mouth, for me
We crush, them, and they click
Let me tell you right now
What you supposed to get
You supposed to get free and intelligent
Not a platinum plaque, that's irrelevant
We CRUSH, THEM, and they rap
Yo, they don't really know where
The money is at and what's funny is that
Is if you'd just stay focused
They'd be the one to be the brokest!
I'm from the inner city, that's right
Flashy asses and titties that's right
No pity mad graffiti that's right
Broken gang treaties, that's real
I speak complete broken slang freely at will
I spit what I'm about to spit
Get what I'm about to get
Never no counterfeit, movin about a bit
Knowledge Reigns Supreme
Only a few like the sound of it
Others can't get down with it
(ONE tWO tHREE bREAK)
So why did I have to come off my sabbatical?
Battle you? My metachromatical
Will splatter you i got another track to do
I can't mack witchu
Your rhymes are fictional, mine are factual
I'll embarass you, I'm glad to do
I'm the teacher but in the streets
It can be bad for you i feel sad for you
Cause you frontin like you gettin ahead
But you really on E instead
I've come to show these people
You're not my equal
All you want is the cash and
A ho in a see-through
Yeah KRS-One comin through with
The breeze team you know how we do
We crush, them, and they click
Let me tell you right now
What you supposed to get
You supposed to get free and intelligent
Not a platinum plaque, that's irrelevant
Yo we crush them, and they squad
Let me tell you right now
That it's all about God
You can walk around the streets
Like you livin it hard
But a real teacher know when you scarred
I refuse to be bought, I refuse to snooze
I refuse to come up short, I refuse to lose
I refuse to be caught in the court
I refuse to refuse bein taught
I refuse evil thoughts
Cause they whole shit's wack, trap's wack
You're wack, you're pack's wack
In fact I jab-slap that
Cap at that, now, retract that crap
Wherever I'm in or at
You better go back and sip that crap
Bring your gat, I'm lovin that
Like football, you'll be, runnin back
Blazin 'em, merely dazin 'em
Barely playin 'em out
These are God's lyrics
I'm just sayin 'em out

We crush, them, and they click
Let me tell you right now
What you supposed to get
You supposed to get free and intelligent
Not a platinum plaque, that's irrelevant
We CRUSH, THEM, and they crew
Let me tell you right now
What you supposed to do
You supposed to be buttoned up
Right to your neck
If you a woman, you'll get respect
Let me tell you we crush the, and they crew
Let me tell you right now
What you supposed to be
You supposed to be a man of integrity
Above the law, you effect destiny
We CRUSH, THEM, and they lies
This is concious rap, we not hypnotized
Anywhere the action's at, we rappin at
Takin it home and unpackin that-that-that
