Ras Kass, KRS-One - BARdom lyrics

Bardom

What up Razzy?
Styles upon styles upon styles is what I have
Fucking you
I'm the idol, the highest title, numero uno

Let me explain something to y'all niggas
(LET'S GO) nigga
Bardom is Malcolm stardom is Martin
Stardom is tricky, bardom is charging
For everything they did to the
Cold Crush and larger (YUP)
Bardom is martyrdom, bardom is sparking
Stardom's the talking snake
(UH) , bardom's the garden (YEAH)
The bars is the scars of
A billion soldiers marching
Written in margins this bardom
Straight outta Carson
The Joker escaped outta Arkham


Bardom is facts, stardom is charged
So when rich Oscars
Bardom is being the best without one
Stardom is televised cyphers
Bardom is being nice enough to start one
Stardom is upper Westside, bardom is Harlem
Stardom is Hollywood, bardom is Bompton
Bardom is flocking
Stardom is pussy ass niggas playing possum
Bardom is the art form
Hood on wheels like Steven Hawking
Stardom is when all the narcs come
In gambling spots with Big L that's bardom
So why he only certified
Gold when post-mortem?

Rap is not pop, if you call it that then stop
And who the fuck are you?
Your idol, the highest title, numero uno
Numero uno papichulo stickin dicks
To yo chick culo

Look! Dudes want stardom me I want bardom
Bardom is soul and a lotta
Dudes ain't got 'em
Beats I will ride 'em cyphers I'm in sodom
Spitting that bardom superstars we harm 'em
Be a real dude or move that's bardom
Acronyms hitting 'em right down to the bottom
Bardom, mics I spark 'em and harm 'em
Ras Kass he blast fast while Kris parks 'em
Everybody know KRS-One don't start 'em
He'll let a rapper get real
High 'fore he drop 'em
Bardom, he walks in the
Club nobody guards him old school
He's seen it all no one alarms him
Bardom, bardom boom-bip the bardom
Put me in a cypher Kris will rip all them
Thanks to the bardom Ras Kass they on 'em
This season real skills are
Fading like Autumn
Bring the bardom back I spit
Bars like a almanac
I spit bars where them barbers at
Spray can? Huh, we bombing that
I be way out in Asia where Vietnam is at
Spitting the bardom rap
With my bardom blacks
Nineties hip-hop we rock all of that
Don't boom bap bardom tracks
Yo Razzy I'm on it black you
Need to call me back

Blue maroon rugs to my red bottoms
So even the hood I'm walking the red carpet
No paparazzi poison you King Joffreys
New minstrel show GRAMMYs and Oscar Nazis
I'm a mensch you can ask my
Oscar Nazis how I be
Pink game on bars like Ronda Rousey
Me and Big Pun shared a pint of Henny Pac
Wanted sixty tickets to my
Show and called Priority
Really, I can't make this shit up
You got ghostwriters dog
You can't make this shit up
We respect the next man skill
Stardom hops on ya dick after you sell a mill
So I was giving Eminem the
Mic 'cause brother could rhyme
Talking Slim Shady with the brown hair
Brown eyes no Dre just Tech and Sway
In a room full of hungry ass
Rappers you expected to slay bardom
I didn't choose this life I
Guess it's in my DNA, not a VMA
'Cause substance
What more could you ask from me?
Soul On Ice, "Nature Of The Threat"
Blasphemy
Just never got that co-sign though
What up Hov? GOOD Music
Rhymesayer with fat beats and Stones Throw
Shoutout Mello, street music pedigree
Forever turning felonies to melodies bardom

Yo yeah
KRS hit these dudes up

And I'm better now, than I was
When you saw that 22-year-old undeveloped kid
I'm experienced now, I'm professional
Been broke, been lost
Knocked down a couple times
Bad, been chopping trees I done
Something new for this fight
I done wrestled with a alligator
That's right
I have wrestled with a alligator
I done tussled with a whale
I done handcuffed lightning
Throwed thunder in jail that's bad
Only last week, I murdered a rock
Injured a stone, hospitalised a brick
I'm so mean I make medicine sick
Bad, fast, fast! Fast!
Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom
Hit the switch was in the bed
Before the room was dark fast!
I'ma show you, how great I am
