Lyrics

The study of hip-hop is not the study of the acquisition of knowledge
The study of hip-hop is to question yourself
It is the stripping off of useless knowledge—a quite different thing
Strip off useless knowledge, and you will arrive at hip-hop
I was conceived on the turntable, by the needle and the groove
The sound of vibrations kept me settled in the womb
I made a move, stepped out the belly foot-first
Onto the cardboard in a fresh pair of Converse
Let's converse over some headspins and windmills
The footwork in uprock always gave me the chills
It's so ill, the way you slide across the floor
And you pose at the end, always made me want more
Below the floor, that's where we made our bones
No glamour and glitz, only concrete and stone
Motivated with ambition, never scared to fail
Movin' raw energy, like a train on the third rail
Can't move like a snail if you wanna leave a mark
Ghetto Picasso, displayin' all kind of art
Burners, throw-ups, and various handstyles
A canvas in motion, I swear this thing is wild
It took me overseas, yeah, I crossed many lands
Made some new friends, some I consider fam
Put bread in my hand, but money isn't everything
The experience is more, wouldn't change it for anything
Rhythm, style, slang, yeah, all these things
Make up this beautiful culture that is king
Since its inception, it has reigned supreme
One hook could make the entire globe sing
The more lies you can pull off yourself, the faster you will master this culture
And let me tell you, it's not about celebrity
You have to ask yourself
Ehe mein Redefluss im ewigen Staub versiegt
Schlachte ich meine Sprache und lege sie auf den Beat
Danke Gott dafür, dass ich die Zeichen hab'
Und dechiffrier' das Palimpsest auf dem evolutionär'n Feigenblatt
Sprenge das Spektrum
Spreche universellen Dialekt und lasse zur Verständigung
Die Schallenwell'n brechen, bis der Groove steht
Wie wiederauferstandene Tote, Ausbruch im Bann der Gebote
Aus dem Missverständnis in das Überständnis
Erklär' dem Kind in der Sprache beider Eltern das Gefängnis
Das Militär, was 'ne Grenze ist, die Nationalität
Geld, Produktivität, und das Baukastenweltbild steht allein
Die Bedeutung liegt dazwischen
Die wenigsten dieser Lieferketten liefern Wissen
Anstelle eines Kreuzes trag' ich tausend Tonn'n Wörter
Höre zu, seit ich das erste Mal KRS-One gehört hab'
Nimm das Mic, aber sieh, der Scheiß ist bedingungsreich
Was wär'n DJs ohne Grandmaster Flashs Erfindungsgeist?
Elektrische Kreise zieh'n dialektische Kreise
Eine Lebensweise macht uns zu Brüdern und Schwestern im Geiste
Universal dialect, no analyst can handle this
My people all over the world overstand the shit
Whether we give the drummer some, loop it up or get the sample flipped
We hold the torch, freak the funk, we keep the candle lit
Universal dialect, no analyst can handle this
My people all over the world overstand the shit
Whether we give the drummer some, loop it up or get the sample flipped
We hold the torch, freak the funk, we keep the candle lit
