Newsbreak

The notorious Just Ice has just gunned down one man up in The Bronx

News later at 11 o'clock

Seen? Ay!

Suicide, it's a suicide, buda-bye-bye

Suicide, it's a suicide, eh

Suicide, it's a suicide, buda-bye-bye

Suicide, it's a suicide

Boogie Down Productions always recite rhymes

The ones that chase us be like two steps behind

'Cause we write the records that be rockin' every time

Like "Poetry," "Super Ho" and "Listen To My 9'"

I don't eat flesh, no type of meat of any kind

But you eat meat, better known as also swine

But some eat swine, better known as also pork

They stab it, and they stab it, 'til they get it on their fork

The first one to say there's nothing wrong with a pig

But haven't you seen the way this animal lives?

Why I tell ya

Suicide, it's a suicide, buda-bye-bye

Suicide, it's a suicide, eh

Suicide, it's a suicide, buda-bye-bye

Suicide, it's a suicide

Come in, Just Ice, eh

Me say, come in Just Ice, eh

Move your body, move your body

Just Ice, KRS up in the vicinity

I-man don't want to be down with no sucker

Whole heap of lyrics rotten like the gutter

Me need partner to partner who can chop it like champion

Mi bredren KRS, sir, we will get the job done

Me gaze upon the speaker standing tall and ready

I jump on the dancefloor, looking sweet and sexy

Just up on the mic, standing tall and proud

The girls all listen to me stop the strong and loud

Coming from Manhattan and the Uptown Bronx

Brooklyn, upon the strength, know what I'm talking about

You move your body, you move your body

Just Ice, KRS up in the vicinity

Me say, you move your body, you move your body

Because I'm KRS-One, I'm down with BDP

Me say

Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Nuttin' new, nuttin' new, dem nuh sayin' nuttin' new

Nuttin' new, nuttin' new, dem nuh sayin' nuttin' new

They run, they run, they run, they run, they run their lyrics through

But when they finish rhyming, you have not heard nuttin' new

Say, this is dedicated to the ones that run their rhyme

Say, time after time after time after time

I know what you all say before you jump up on the stage

But make sure you don't say "Di-di-di da, di-di-di day" (Big shot!)

'Cause then we'll have to look for you and beat you all up

So when you see me in the street, just keep your mouth shut

Nuttin' new, nuttin' new, dem nuh sayin' nuttin' new

Nuttin' new, nuttin' new, dem nuh sayin' nuttin' new

Me say

Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Me say Just-Ice, me say Just-Ice

And if you don't think about it one time

I think you're gonna lose your mind

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Grease my palm, you better grease my palm

If you want the lyrics to keep right on

I get it, I get it like I was King Kong

The people in the booth, well dem a looking afraid

Upon the dancefloor, the woman dance and sway

They listen to the question of the words I say

The one Just Ice has to work every day

Support my pickney and the bills I pay

So hold up your hand as you start to express

My lyrics are serious and man no vex

In class all by myself, have to pass no test

Bullet from a gun, coming hard and direct

So lick our palm, you better lick our palm

And I'll continue just chat from abroad

Ragamuffin inna session, just a skank from a yard

With your classiest silks and a big gold chain, yeah, big, broad, and large

Telling all of the pack, all of the madness from out di club

Grab your gangstas who push up and fill you up on the slugs

You grease my palm, you better grease my palm

And if you brought the tool, just chat from abroad

Just Ice upon the mic, looking big and steady

KRS on mic, looking slick and ready

Heavy 'pon the people, looking tall and slick

Just Ice, and you know I'm no victim

I am a man notorious, you know I'm from slick

Ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up

Just Ice, you know you're large bwoy

You definitely rule the dancehall style, seen?

Now seckle

KRS-One is here without a doubt

And, listen, me want to get one thing straight, seen?

Just Ice is one group, and KRS-One is another

So anyone of ya'll think we're down on the same label

You got to come correct, seen?

And seckle

(It go like this now...)
