Lyrics
One (One, one, one, one, one, one, one, one)
KRS-One es fres-co
Poet, you're soft, you know?
Do not speak when grown people are speaking
Don't interrupt the class when I'm teaching
Turn your textbooks now to BDP and see
Criminal Minded and By All Means Necessary
I'm sort of like a bounty hunter
I hunt out the best and crush them others
(Hey dude, what's the name of your crew?) BDP
Becoming a monopoly gradually
There's no sense for you to become tense
Just pay attention 'cause I make sense
Poetic, athletic, lyrically alphabetic
Hear the science and let it
Serve as a fact, I rap to attack
The wick-wick-weak and the wick-wick-wack
All around, world-renowned, my sound's not a clown
With a crown or a hand-me-down
It's fresh right off the press
Written by the teacher himself, KRS
The flexible, respectable poet
You all know it, but I think I oughta show it in a show
Although I don't play a banjo
I be living rhythm, so I flow
Gracefully, to the point you admit I took you out
Allow me to remove all doubt about
Who has clout and whose tongue flows out
Just like lightning, tighten up while I'm writing
Memorizing then reciting is quite an experience
For example, I'm still number one (One, one, one, one)
Well, I rhyme to eat because I don't rob or cheat
Compete with the weak, now all you suckers have a seat
I don't meet the standards of kings
Or MC lords or queens and those things
I merely bring, as simple as it sounds
New ground, to the kings I'll throw down
On the floor, they look up at me in awe
Their freshest rhymes I ignore
T-E-A-C-H-E-R, you see
We are, without a doubt, the star
The original, the inventor
Well, let's take a second to glance at the agenda
Boo (Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo)
I cannot understand it, man
What possessed you, boy, to go freestyle?
What are you stupid? You must be senile
Poor child, I'll pull that file and smile
You can't even freak with the style
I'm saying, bringing, swinging, and flinging
You're weighing me down 'cause on the tip you're swinging
Just like a native monkey change minds
You be slinging on Jimmy, man, all the time
I'm criminal minded, you are soft-minded
Just like a dog, here's a lyric, go find it
I be rhyming straight and hard, don't push me
You rhyme soft and mushy, real mushy
Using that played-out, off-beat style
You're big sounding like Caine, boy
I'll freestyle three styles, meanwhile you're looking ignorant
I'll take a pause, but I don't bother filling it
Everybody's rocking off-beat to a beat
That's soft like Wonder, here's the whole wheat
Your first mistake was to answer back
To the undefeated master of beating suckers silly
No, I'm not from Philly
My name isn't Magic, Poet, or Billy
It's KRS,'specially if
It doesn't take you too long to find out where I shift
And shift it back to simply saying you're wack, weak, soft
And never ever really posed a threat, in fact
I haven't heard a decent lyric from you yet
I bet that creativity is hard to get
While someone does your music and your lyrics, you slept
So step, 'cause obviously you haven't heard about my rep
I'm undefeated, allow me to go more in depth
You know, boy, I'm still number one (One, one, one, one)
Yo, Miss Melodie, she's down with us
Manager Moe, he's down with us
D-Nice and McBoo, they're down with us
ICU, you know he's down with us
DJ Red Alert, you know he's down with us
I'm number one (One, one, one, one)
Doug E. Fresh is down with us
The Awesome Two, you know they're down with us
The Violators are down with us
Jeff Fox, he's down with us
Bugsy, you know he's down with us
I'm number one (One, one, one, one)
Big Tapp is down with us
Just-Ice is down with us
George Clinton is down with us
Slick JC is down with us
Jungle Brothers are down with us
I'm number one (One, one, one, one)
Willie D is down with us
My brothers in the Bronx is down with us
Homeboys in Brooklyn down with us
Harlem, USA is down with us
I'm number one (One, one, one, one)
Yeah, BDP is undefeated
And to my big brother Scott La Rock
No matter how many suckers try to diss us
Ha-ha, we're still number one (One, one, one, one)
