KRS‐One - The MC Lyrics

Who am I? the mc, la-di da-di
I don't wear versace, I wear dj's out quickly at the party
Who am I? if you're like me hip hop is in your body
Who am I? the mc
When the jam is slow and you need a proceeder
Who am I? the mc
When you need a lyrical leader wit oratorical triple features
Who am I? the mc
When you need to rock your 3000-seat arena, best believe, uh
Who am I? the mc
When you need to get the word on the street wit demeanor
Who am I? the mc
I beg thee, let me splurt rhymes, I have plenty
Who am I? the mc lord have mercy
I hit sudden like Hershey
Always new like jersey, stay thirsty
Who am I? the mc
Showin my authority, superiority
An artistic minority, now you startin me
'cause party philosophy can only be carried out by
Who am I? the mc
No doubt, predicting far ahead what will set the party off immensely
With plenty of who? the mc
Trained at rooftop, red zone, Roxy and Bentley's
Who am I? the mc
Gently move crowds with harmonious rhythm
'Cause the lyrics we give em they miss em
Who am I? the mc again, the mc
Her infinite power helps, oppressed people sent me to tell you
If you truly study lyrical flows and stay on your toes you will be
Who am I? the mc
And as an mc you will study verbal magic
But watch what you say 'cause you'll attract it
Control your subconscious magnet from pullin in havoc
Who am I? the mc
Non-stoppin' mc, hip hoppin' mc
Verbal rockin', head knockin', quick droppin' mc
I laugh 'cause I mastered the craft mc
In sound clash I'm the first and last mc
It's sort of like jim carrey throwin that mask to me
I black out and wake up to catastrophe
Three mc's dead from the sound blowin' out massively, wow
Who am I? the mc
Untouchable, can't be caught off guard with fast tracks or slow tracks
Ass cracks get waxed to the max, mc's pack raps for all tracks
Indigenous cultures, asians, whites and blacks
Never missed it the linguistic of
Who am I? the mc
Meta-lyrical poetic mystic mc
Hearin the voice of an ancient spirit mc
Premeditated worder
Killin' negative concepts out the mind of the observer mc
You deserve a break from counterfeits, frauds and fakes
Claimin' to be an mc for heaven sakes
Well, this mc done raised the stakes
Under the stress from krs
Contracts and mental gats are bound to break
Who am I? the mc again the mc
Conduct yourselves properly mc

Who am I? the mc, la-di da-di
I don't wear versace, I wear dj's out quickly at the party
Who am I? if you're like me hip hop is in your body
Who am I? the mc
When the jam is slow and you need a proceeder
Who am I? the mc
When you need a lyrical leader wit oratorical triple features
Who am I? the mc
