Channel Live, KRS-One - Mad Izm lyrics

Uhh! yeahhh i know you're diggin' this type
Of shit right here
We about to spark it on the mic, yeahhh
Come on!

All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm

The episode starts when I
Walk down the block, kid
Reach in my pocket, yo where's my knot, it
Follows me into the spot, compellin'
Go check the dread and yes he's herb sellin'
A punani gate, I'm a potential felon
Izm is smellin', like I ain't even tellin'
Channel one two, I'm smashin' the law
Channel three, I make a run to the store
Channel four
Leave the store with the Phillie 'cause I
Spark the izm, I'm off to Channel Live

Wake up in the mornin' got
The yearnin' for herb
Which loosens up the nouns, metaphors
And verbs and adjectives
Ain't it magic kid what I'm kickin'?
Multi-flavored bags of sess, for the pickin'
So listen to the izm as it talks non-stop
Hawaiian when I'm rhymin' but so
Is the chocolate Thai
Now the high, starts to settle
Kickin' fat lyrics that rocks
Like heavy metal

I'm comin' out to dance with
Da spliff of sensei
When I speak, big up Mack, LO, and Malik
Like John Lennon, yes I'm IZ-M'n
I start grinnin', and syllables start bendin'
My style is intangible, like a wild animal
Check the label as it goes
Round it's on Capitol
That's what I'm smackin' you
With 'cause it's easy like Lionel Richie
Your whole style is bitchy
Switch me, mix me, somebody get me
Don't let me rip out my
Clothes like Bill Bixby
Rippin' the microphone 'til
I'm motherfuckin' sixty
Smokin' the indo, by the window, it's sticky

Come spark the izm, my expertism, is lyricism
My flow will take you over
Like I was hypnotism
So where's the lighter? To decipher
The skills that I'm bringin'
Hyper than a little kid on ginseng, roots
And culture, my intellect will insult ya
Finish off your dead mind like a vulture
I gotta get mine, get a grip
'Cause there's all these weak
Rappers steady makin' hit's, fuck that!
By '94, I bring the skills back
So listen now I'm doin' what I want
To do and sparkin' mad izm

All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm

I come with notions, deeper than the ocean
Check out my potion, mad rhythm in the motion
The izm, brings the wisdom
When I kick it on the rhythm
Check it how I rock it in a cipher
Desire, takes you higher, lyrical messiah
(Yo yo yo yo yo, pass that lighter)
Counterclockwise, I rise like the sun
Now feel the heat from the rays of the gun
Shootin' out the mental mist
How you gonna know the real
Shit when your style's counterfeit?

His shit is counterfeit 'cause
He's motherfuckin' phony come into the jam
Try to front like he know me
Hah! Listen to this new type of somethin'
Bumpin', '94 ain't for no frontin'
New type of lingo, catchy like a jingle
Roughneck Hip-Hop is drippin' from the single
Now, let me introduce you to the one
The Channel Live indo this loosens you up
Goin' through the channels of
The remote control
Flickin' through the frequencies of your soul

Then roll the izm, the inflater, I'm weeded
Like wearing a sweater, at the equator
I'm heated
But I flip a style like I flip a channel
Step up and test the skills
You can get my tes-ticules
'Cause Hip-Hop's been runnin' through
My veins ever since
So it wasn't hard for me to
Grab the mic and represent
Representin' tormentin' MC's craniums
Till they can't flow why?
'Cause I'm drainin' 'em
Don't mean to be blunt but don't front
I'm doin' it for the love so
Now I'm doin' what I want to do
With my Channel Live crew so just listen
Dissin' wack MC's and sparkin' up mad izm

All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm
All we do is spark mad izm mad izm
