Lyrics

Wooh, oh Yo Rick, what you saying? Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Yeah, I'm spitting truth, ain't nothing fancy Fake I can't be, with this microphone I'm handy Radio and video bans me, they can't stand me I'm the opposite of these hoes dancing in panties Truth seeker, I write for people, not a Grammy The true Teacha, teaching about ancestors and family The proof seeker, bringing evidence, not the fallacy The new leader, bringing solutions to the insanity This strategy avoid calamity and tragedy Do not let technology run off with your humanity I deal with reality, not Lemon or Hannity This is why most of these rappers are not matching me It's a catastrophe that got you looking at a screen And the screen is showing you scenes of what your culture means As for society and poverty, drug dealers and fiends These ain't the images that tell you what your culture means Rappers like KRS-One are nowhere on the scene They promote rappers that contradict Dr. King's Dream These acts are deliberate, they're part of the same scheme Cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream This ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh Just another case about the wrong path Straight and narrow or you will not last Slick Rick told y'all, goodnight Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, Kris already got this This is what Hip Hop is, spitting my synopsis A sellout? I am not this, pull out and cop this Revolutionary topic right over the hot shit Video is for your optics, that's why you watch it But it can become hypnotic if you cannot stop it Your mind, you must unlock it from their phony topics Focus on the truth, with proof, use your logic Words are like purpose, character, you got it? Or got 'em, invisible forces, can you spot 'em? The blind continues to lead the blind to the bottom Destroying their cities like Gomorrah and Sodom I rock 'em with truth 'cause Knowledge Reigns Supreme Cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream This ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh Just another case about the wrong path Straight and narrow or you will not last Slick Rick told y'all, goodnight Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Out the box Kris, like a stone I rock this The beginner just eating dinner, no, I am not this I take it back to Schoolly D and Super Lover Cee Steady B, I'm Three Times Dope or dope times three You know me, I ain't stutter Why do you think they never promote The original culture they putting us under? We all know the truth about Hip Hop and what it really is But we sit and settle for what they peddle to little kids I'm piping like a kettle, this mental man will flip your lid Take it back to when we used to rap and DJs zig-a-zig When you reverse evil, believe me people you really live Help, love or witnessing wealth, that's what I'm here to give No, I do not think of myself, I think of these future kids Everything we doing today will determine how they live Many DJs cutting and mixing, but they ain't playing nothing Many rappers, ripping and rapping, but they ain't saying nothing Corporate yelling, "Black Lives Matter!" but they stay fronting That's why this Black Lives Rapper he keeps in way bumping It ain't nothing, no assumptions, just facts It seems Knowledge is Reigning Supreme and that's that Bring it back, rappers rapping like we ain't under attack They traders and our neighbors, which makes it doubly wack Look at that, while these corny ass rappers serving their fiends Cop shot the kid, I still hear him scream This ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh Just another case about the wrong path Straight and narrow or you will not last Slick Rick told y'all, goodnight Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Knock 'em out the box Kris, out the box Kris Out the box Kris Out the box Kris Out the box Kris Out the box Kris Knock-kno-knock Knock-kno-knock Knock-kno-knock Knock-kno-kno-knock-kno-knock (knock 'em out the box Kris) Knock-kno-knock Knock-knock-kno-kno-kno-knock Knock-kno-kno-knock Knock-knock-kno-kno-kno-knock (knock 'em out the box Kris) Knock 'em out the box Kris
