KRS-One - Show Respect lyrics

Okay okay
Okay let's do this uh huh

Before I spit the verse I'm versed up
I got to take a moment
For some ancestor worship
Scott La Rock all day ms melodie all day
All day kwame Toure okay
They watching over KRS today
There's so many ancestors with me
Man watch what you say
You don't even know how I got here
So many dudes are not here so I do not fear
When the roads is not clear
We are not alarmed with it
In the darkness I'm the spark in it
With every sentence your intelligence
I sharpen it like a knife or a box cutter
You cut the carpet with spark that shit
Dudes don't know how deep Chris Parker get
You hear the art I spit
Cause I was at the start of it
The cypher is hyper when KRS is part of it
The same cypher's incomplete when
Apart from it show respect

(Get-get-get-get-get-get-get) show respect
(Get-get-get-get-get-get-get)
What I'm saying yeah
Yeah show respect
(Get-get-get-get-get-get-get)
(Get-get-get-get-get-get-get)
What I'm saying

Let me make this really clear
They are not us
All these wack twitter rappers I do not trust
They will pull out the gat
But they will not bust
They will witness injustice but
They will not fuss
They sitting at home thinking
They can stop us
I'm flicking ashes on these asses leaving
Them in the dust dust criminal minded
Spiritual minded political minded
My lyric you can time it
Watch how I rhyme it
Spit, shine, and grind it
Autograph and sign it
No corporation behind it
Free man, free MC, and free-minded
You looking for authentic and real
Well I'm it
These critics be amazed they don't
Know what it means
KRS still ripping it in 2017
On to 2018, 2019 its a crazy scene
I'm all in their face like Maybelline
Show respect

(Get-get-get-get-get-get-get) show respect
(Get-get-get-get-get-get-get)
What I'm saying yeah
Yeah show respect
(Get-get-get-get-get-get-get)
(Get-get-get-get-get-get-get)
What I'm saying
