KRS-One - You Like Me lyrics
[KRS-One - You Like Me lyrics]
As long as I'm dancin actin or rappin
Walkin around like
I don't know what's happenin you like me
If I'm talkin bout drinkin
And nothin bout thinkin as long as I'm high
And I never ask why you like me
But the second I start with
The state of the economy black leadership
Black gods and Black sovereignty
That's when you can't seem to follow me
Confusion
You feel like you losin, I'm no longer amusin
This song's about choosin
Choosin why you cruisin
Either Black entertainment or
The Black Revolution
People love to see a young Black man rap
Until he wakes up and realize
He's caught in the trap
So as long as I'm dancin actin or rappin
Walkin around like
I don't know what's happenin you like me
If I'm talking bout drinkin
And nothin bout thinkin as long as I'm high
And I never ask why you like me
But the minute I get in it bout
The way these rappers spit it
The minute I start spittin that
Truth here comes a critic
I freestyle off the top like
Removin ya yankee fitted
But they not really checkin for skills
They want the gimmick
Many of the challenges we face
We could solve em
But there's no trust, no unity
And that's the problem
Black people fightin amongst themselves
That's the problem
White people fightin amongst themselves
That's the problem
US foreign policy is simply just bomb em
Rebels against they own government
The US arms em
Then when things get outta hand
Yeah they try to calm em
More money, more diplomacy, just charm em
If that doesn't work then
They move to "Osama"
Turn him into a terrorist
So they can disarm em
Through the corporate media
We don't stand a chance
But too many people wanna us
To just stand and dance
So as long as I'm dancin actin or rappin
Walkin around like
I don't know what's happenin you like me
If I'm talking bout drinkin
And nothin bout thinkin as long as I'm high
And I never ask why you like me
You like me, you like me, you like me
You like me, you like me, you like me
Walkin around like
I don't know what's happenin you like me
If I'm talkin bout drinkin
And nothin bout thinkin as long as I'm high
And I never ask why you like me
But the second I start with
The state of the economy black leadership
Black gods and Black sovereignty
That's when you can't seem to follow me
Confusion
You feel like you losin, I'm no longer amusin
This song's about choosin
Choosin why you cruisin
Either Black entertainment or
The Black Revolution
People love to see a young Black man rap
Until he wakes up and realize

So as long as I'm dancin actin or rappin
