[Rakim]
2
Is y'all ready for Twenty-0-7, it's now another drought
3
Everyone's a killer, wow we buggin out
4
Since 86 showin the crowd what I'm about
5
And they still want to know when the album comin' out
6
Ask the teenagers, O'Gs and Ask the kids
7
What they definition of Classic is
8
Timeless, cause age don't count in the booth
9
And your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth
10
And no doubt the truth I'm off the meters
11
Everybody co-signing even non-believers
12
I came in the door, became one of y'alls leaders
13
In the fresh pair of Air Force One sneakers
14
Uptown we call 'em uppies when they on divas
15
Prolly worn when KRS One teaches
16
Nas, made you look, before the haters
17
I bet you Kan had 'em on when he walked with Jesus
18
This is classic
19
[Chorus]
20
classic, better than I'v ever been
21
talent,
22
If it's classic it's gonna last forever than I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been
23
Classic
24
Better than I'v ever been
25
[Kanye West:]
26
Can't buy this, superflyness, like a shyness, your highness
27
It's performin', look how long the line is
28
That's what happens when you make shit that's timeless
29
That's what happens these rappers is the pioneers
30
What do it take to be a legend like Nas is?
31
That's so novice, I'm so polished, I got a right to be a little bit snobbish
32
I did a little bit of college, semesters it took 2 like Rob Base
33
To let me figure out this wasn't my place, the beat slowed til' you listened to my pace
34
Cuz I be killin' shit, but that's evident, and y'all feelin' it, but I expected it
35
If it's classic it's gonna last forever than I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been
36
[Chorus]
37
[Nas:]
38
Perseverance, see the fake hustler rapper to them it hurts to hear this
39
O you went platinum "“ yeah that's nice, now let me see you do the same thing twice
40
New times, 4 times, then been a couple of more times, please your amateur night is show time
41
It's one life to live so live it the best you can, the world could use one less man
42
Not enough air, not enough car factories to manufacture new vehicles sedans and vans
43
When they do make the whip you like ya chips ain't right, by the time you could afford it the car ain't important
44
In the streets silent, it's just I and - cops keep firin' in my environment
45
Leavin' your slum when they drive home far from the hood brothers they eager to jump on
46
I like to be the wall that they post up on, I like to see them fall, guilty for doing wrong
47
I'm classic like the Air Ones, the Hustler shoe, that's what I'm accustomed to
48
[Chorus]
49
[KRS One:]
50
How many y'all got criminal minded you you you y'all don't be blinded
51
Me I got no jewels on my neck, why "“ I don't need 'em I got your respect
52
KRS 1 20 years I rock I do it for JMJ and Scott LaRock "“ this hip hop
53
And we's a nation, don't you want to hear more KRS on your radio station?
54
Instead of broadcasting how we smokin' trees, on the radio we need to hear more local MC's
55
Where you at? Come on where you at? This is the difference between MC'ing and rap
56
Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC's spit rhymes to uplift they people
57
Peace, love, unity, and Havin' fun, these are the lyrics of KRS One
