MC's Act Like They Don't Know
Christopher Martin, Lawrence Parker
Clap your hands everybody, if you got what it takes
'Cause I'm KRS and I'm on the mic, and Premier's on the breaks
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop
Of course we don't flip flop
If you don't know me by now, I doubt you'll ever know me
I never won a GRAMMY, I won't win a Tony
But I'm not the only MC keepin' it real
When I grab the mic to smash a rapper, girls go, "Eww"
Check the time as I rhyme, it's 1995
Whenever I arrive the party gets liver
Flow with the master rhymer, as I leave behind
The video rapper, you know, the chart climber
Clapper, down goes another rapper
Onto another matter, punch up the data, Blastmaster
Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody
Call up KRS, I'm guaranteed to rip a party
Flat top, braids, bald heads or knotty dread
There once was a story about a man named Jed
But now Jed is dead, all his kids instead
Wanna kick rhymes off the top of they head
Word, what go around come around I figure
Now we got white kids callin' themselves niggas
The tables turned as the crosses burned
Remember You Must Learn
About the styles I flip and how wild I get
I go on like a space age rocket ship
You could be a mack, a pimp, hustler or player
But make sure live you is a dope rhyme-sayer
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
This is what you waited all year for
The hardcore, that's what KRS is here for
Big up Grand Wizard Theodore, gettin' ill
If you see, then ya saw I'm in your grill with mad skill
MC's can only battle with rhymes that got punchlines
Let's battle to see who headlines
Instead of flow for flow, let's go show for show
Toe for toe, yo, you better act like you know
Too many MC's take that word 'emcee' lightly
They can't Move a Crowd, not even slightly
It might be the fact that they express wackness
Let me show ya whose ass is the blackest
I flip a script a little bit, you ride the tip and shit
Too sick to get with it, admit you bit, your style is counterfeit
Now tone it down a bit
My title you will never get, I'm too intelligent
I'll send your family my sentiments, my style is toxic
When I rock and shock and hip hop it unlock your head, I knock it
It split quick from the lyric
Direct hit, perfect fit, you can't get with it
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know

Some MC's don't like the KRS, but they must respect him
'Cause they know this kid gets all up in they rectum
Slappin' and selectin' 'em, checkin' 'em, disrespectin' 'em
Just deckin' 'em, deckin' 'em, deckin' 'em
Who in their right mind can mimic a style like mine?
I design rhyme and get mine all the time
MC's standin' on the sidelines, always dissin'
When I roll up and rush they crew they start bitchin'
I don't burn, I don't freeze, yet some MC's
Believe they could tangle with the likes of these
Cross your T's and dot your I's whenever I arrive
Wide, magnified, live like the ocean tide
You dope, you lied, I reside like Artifacts
On the Wrong Side of Da Tracks, electrified
Comin' around the mountain, you run and hide
Hopin' your defense mechanism can divert my heat-seeking lyricism
As I spark mad izm
The 1996 lyrical style's what I give 'em
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know
MC's act like they don't know

Klatscht alle in die Hände, wenn ihr das Zeug dazu habt
'Cause I'm KRS and I'm on the mic, and Premier's on the breaks
Denn ich bin KRS und ich bin am Mikrofon, und Premier ist an den Breaks
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop
Geht raus an den Hardcore Hip Hop
Goin' out to the hardcore hip hop
Geht raus an den Hardcore Hip Hop
Of course we don't flip flop
Natürlich machen wir keinen Flip Flop
If you don't know me by now, I doubt you'll ever know me
Wenn du mich jetzt noch nicht kennst, bezweifle ich, dass du mich jemals kennen wirst
I never won a GRAMMY, I won't win a Tony
Ich habe nie einen GRAMMY gewonnen, ich werde keinen Tony gewinnen
But I'm not the only MC keepin' it real
Aber ich bin nicht der einzige MC, der es echt hält
When I grab the mic to smash a rapper, girls go, "Eww"
Wenn ich das Mikrofon ergreife, um einen Rapper zu zerschlagen, sagen Mädchen: "Iiih"
Check the time as I rhyme, it's 1995
Schau auf die Uhr, während ich reime, es ist 1995
Whenever I arrive the party gets liver
Immer wenn ich ankomme, wird die Party lebendiger
Flow with the master rhymer, as I leave behind
Fließe mit dem Meisterreimer, während ich zurücklasse
The video rapper, you know, the chart climber
Den Video-Rapper, du weißt, den Chart-Kletterer
Clapper, down goes another rapper
Klatscher, ein weiterer Rapper geht zu Boden
Onto another matter, punch up the data, Blastmaster
Zu einer anderen Angelegenheit, schlag die Daten auf, Blastmaster
Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everybody
Wissen herrscht fast über alle
Call up KRS, I'm guaranteed to rip a party

Flacher Oberkopf, Zöpfe, Glatzen oder knorrige Dreadlocks
There once was a story about a man named Jed
Es gab einmal eine Geschichte über einen Mann namens Jed
But now Jed is dead, all his kids instead
Aber jetzt ist Jed tot, all seine Kinder stattdessen

Word, what go around come around I figure
Wort, was herumkommt, kommt herum, denke ich
Now we got white kids callin' themselves niggas
Jetzt haben wir weiße Kinder, die sich selbst Niggas nennen
The tables turned as the crosses burned
Die Tische haben sich gedreht, als die Kreuze brannten
Remember You Must Learn
Erinnere dich, du musst lernen
About the styles I flip and how wild I get
