Who Protects Us From You lyrics

[KRS-One] + [somebody beatboxing]
Let me tell you bout a crew I know [ba BUM BUM]
Called Boogie Down Productions and they steal the show [ba BUM BUM]
With DJ Scott LaRock and KRS-One
[ba-bum, ba-ba-bum, ba-bum-ba-bum-bababababababababa]
With D-Nice you know the job is done
and I know [boom-ba-bum] oh yes I know [ba-boom-ba-bum]
I know because I m KRS-One, yo check this out

[beatbox continues in the background]

[KRS-One]
Breath control.. here s an example
I appeal, to the +Criminal Minded+
You can t find it, boy you re still blinded
Why don t you open your eyes and stop DISSIN
Get a prescription to listen
Sit in the class and ask real fast about a FRESH RAP
You re gettin left back, set back, kept back
Get back, I don t accept that material
Your rhymes are artificially flavored like cereal
I like clarity, so when you come here
speak clear and concise and then I might give
a little slack to.. nah, wait - I take that back
If you re wack, I ll slap, FUCK THAT!
Boogie Down Productions back, simply cause we never left
the radical sounds of KRS
What a mess, to roll up and then fess
Wild guess huh, you thought you were the best?
But - yup yup - as it always turns out
You get burned out, your rhymes just run out
I immediately come out, BOOMIN dope and
don t provoke, you re walkin a very thin rope
Not even rope, the word I m lookin for is string
When I sing, I sing to try and bring
enlightenment, yet the suckers be bitin it
Radio s fightin it, the fans be likin it
Your face I m wipin it, cause your mouth is dirty
You re unworthy to THINK that you can serve me
You heard me?  These styles are universal
You need rehearsal, wait, first I ll
beef up the system, rhyth, rhymin, timin, climbin
Then realizing
As producer of this dope record huh
I think it s time we break for a second

Breath control..

[KRS-One]
That s it, that s it, that s it
Break is over, back to the track
Resume attack, on the crews that are wack
We don t lack, I mean, we don t like
the played out styles when we re rockin the mic
The radical rebel at level fifteen
The amp only goes to ten, you know what I mean?
As it seems, it seems that you re doomed
Yes I ll boom and consume the WHOLE room
Not a part, not a fraction or a sum
but ALL, capital KRS-One
B-D-B-D-B-D-B-D-P
Takin MC s out constantly!
Because you re no big deal, you re no big wheel
You steal, come before me and kneel but
I m not a king, I m not a queen, I m not a ace
I m not a jack, I m not a MC or a playboy
and I just ain t wack
I feel that you should get an understanding
You might be jamming, but KRS-One is slamming
Hypothetically, or in reality
Takin you out, is a SMALL technicality
Rhymes like these, or rhymes like THIS ONE
comes in handy, while I diss some
soft silly low budget sucker like yourself
I got the style you need, in my house on the shelf
labelled, sucker boy style
I like to do it every once in a while..
