KRS-One - Opening Remarks lyrics

Yes
I want to welcome you all to the 23rd album
Between Da Protests
We gon' have to to rise on this ya'll
But just before we begin
Lemme spit on these cats

Fake rappers I respect none, DJs too
You know my way, we ain't you
5, 4, and three are taken and we ain't two
33 years later, we ain't through
Black lives been mattered yo
Cause we ain't blue
Selling out the culture is
Something we don't do
They call me the teacher that be so true
Cause I mastered the element
Of MCing like CO2 we so new
You know what we been through just to survive
All this debate about the top five
Put it aside here's the real top five list
It's KRS, Blast Master, KRS-One, The Teacher
And Chris rappers going through some type
Of identity crisis g-O-D is my image of life
'cause they don't like Chris
My mother is Ahset better known as Isis
I drop on the set like Horus
Where the mic is
I'm the difference between what the
Real and the hype is
What the wrong and the right is
What the darkness and the light is
But rappers want to fantasize
About battling me
They sleep and I'm over their
Whole head like a canopy
I'm chilling in Atlanta sipping Daiquiris
Don't come after me
I rapid fire rap rap rapidly
It's a catastrophe you not as fast as me
OG rappers coming after me
They're in back of me
You wanna come after me here's the truth
I'm invading your space like, let's get loose
You can't hang, I got the noose
When I train on tracks I'm
The engine you're the caboose
I'm sipping the Remy Ma
While I salute Papoose
I don't battle young rappers
That's child abuse i'm tightening the noose
Put hands on you like a masseuse
And De La your soul like I'm Posndous
You'll be calling for a turce
While I'm cooking your goose
Got the deuce-deuce for when you
Chickens come to roost
Man I'm mobile like boost
While they're failing
So Imma put 'em down under
Like these dudes was Australian
Rappers couldn't see me in the
80's or the 90's
Thirty years later they wanna
Act like they're grimy
Now they wanna find me in the new millenium
But I'm a cannibal
I'll breakfast lunch and dinner them
