Some have lost it by getting too high
Some have lost it by going too low
But I'll always stay on top, ask me why (Why?)
I'm Kurtis Blow and I'm the king on the scene
Stay on the scene
I'm the king on the scene
Stay on the scene
Still on the scene after all these years
Like a pioneer, I conquer new frontiers
I'm the king and I'm back, and I sing and I act
I do my thing, I'm not wack (Is that a fact?)
You know it's true, I wouldn't lie to you
And if you won't take my word, give my career a review
I've done shows all over the globe
And when I'm home off tour, I max in my red robe
Sit back and watch cable, put my feet on the table
Collect the royalty checks from my record label
So you see, I've been around, and I'm still down
And I'll always hold the crown, I'm the king on the scene
Stay on the scene

I've been on the scene since rap began
As a participant and not a fan
I'm respected to the utmost, 'cause I got what most
Rappers don't have, style
But most of them are good, their ideas are on
But I made my first jam and some of them were born
I'm Kurtis Blow, the pro, and Rap-A-Man alumni
Got enough rhymes in my head to rock from night
To day and on to the afternoon
And you swoon when I croon a KB tune
So you know who I am and what I'm about
And you'll have no doubt why I'm still on the scene
Stay on the scene
Stay on the scene
Stay on the scene
Stay on the scene
Stay on the scene
Stay on the scene
When you address me, say "Your majesty"
And all my subjects bow down to me
Am I the king? (You're the king)
Am I the king? (You're the king)
Full grown and on my own, I sit on the throne
Talking on the telephone, eating ice cream cones
Am I the king? (You're the king)
Am I the king? (You're the king)
I'm a lion and I'm trying my best to chill
But if y'all keep dissing, I'm forced to ill
Am I the king? (You're the king)
Am I the king? (You're the king)
When it's time to throw down, I tilt the crown
And people gather around just to hear how I sound
'Cause I'm the king (You're the king)
'Cause I'm the king (You're the king)
And I'ma stay on the scene
Stay on the scene

I'm approached every day and people say things like
"I can't compete 'cause you're unique when you speak on the mic"
But I'm not modest, it's true that I'm an artist
I don't think that I'm the hardest, but what keeps me apart
Is not only clarity, but my vocabulary
Born with the gift of the gab and I'm very
Much proud of the poems that I give birth to
And duck MCs, to me, ain't worth two cents
But I won't let 'em mess up my day
I'll just keep on saying what I have to say, okay
To make you rock is my main objective
I write my rhymes from a collective perspective
My rap's beyond the realm, I overwhelm
So cool, I make you drool, and you'll wanna tell
My mom and dad exactly how bad
You think I am, but they know, because they had
Me in New York twenty-six years ago
And my mom said when I was an embryo
She heard peculiar sounds and I was moving around
And when I made my way out, I was about seven pounds
Learned to use my lungs when I was young
Then a slip of the lip from the tip of my tongue
And what's hard, I make so easy, because I'm so skillful
With the rhyme, I make you have a good time and I will
Fulfill your need, be it mental or erotic
When I splurge you like the Virgin Isles, I'm exotic
I'm professional and my profession pays
I'm Kurtis Blow and I'll always be the king on the scene
Stay on the scene ('Cause I'm, 'cause I'm Kurtis Blow)
Stay on the scene ('Cause I'm, 'cause I'm Kurtis Blow)
Stay on the scene ('Cause I'm, 'cause I'm Kurtis Blow)
Stay on the scene ('Cause I'm, 'cause I'm, 'cause I'm, 'cause I'm)
Stay on the scene ('Cause I'm, 'cause I'm Kurtis Blow)
Stay on the scene ('Cause I'm, 'cause I'm
'Cause I'm, 'cause I'm Kurtis Blow)
Stay on the scene ('Cause I'm Kurtis Blow)
Stay on the scene
