[KRS-One, Greenie - T'Cha & The Student lyrics]
KRS-ONE: Welcome to the Temple, class
Is in session me, i'm the teacher -asking
All questions question 1 - What am I being?
GREENIE: Y-Y-Y-Y-You a rapper!
KRS-ONE: Wrong! I'm emceeing
GREENIE: What's the difference?
KRS-ONE: Well, it's the unity
The rapper is corporate
The emcee is community
GREENIE: Community rap?
KRS-ONE: It's something like thatfor emceein'
But the question was 'What am I being?"
GREENIE: What are you being?
KRS-ONE: Can anyone answer this? What are
You seeing? Can anyone answer Kris?
GREENIE: When you say "What are you being? -
Does that mean you're BEING your emceeing?"
KRS-ONE: Yes! But what I'm
Being is hip-hopthAT'S
What's really gettin' respect on your block
GREENIE: Hip-Hop!?!
KRS-ONE: That's right - Hip-Hop last
Of the human skills gREENIE: Ahh hip-Hop
KRS-ONE: Let's go further with
This pre-meditated worderkris Parker
The teacher - I
Know you hearda all the sciences
Makin' instruments out of appliances
Showin' you what self-reliance is
GREENIE: but whose rhyme this is?
Why's whack emcees in
Our face like sinuses? You
Positive like plus, Kris
And they minuses - Ideas are going
Through my mind like a Catscani'm
Not a white emcee who pretends to be a
Black mani was writing rhymes when they
Invented Pac-Mannow my rhyme'z is
Tight like that
Suit on Batmanyou kept it real, Kris
You came out as a rosta I'm comin'
Out controversialtalkin' 'bout
Schvartzerappers are whack
Todaybut I don't need to dis' one
My rhyme style is THIS one
Is in session me, i'm the teacher -asking
