Lyrics

BO! How many times I gotta tell ya, man? D-Nice, number one lyricist out here in the world today All the suckers that wanna perpetrate the fraud must come correct Know what I'm sayin'? This is KRS-One from the massive BDP crew And of course we are doin' a remix The styles are from 1990 to 1991 and two So we're gonna break it down a little somethin' like this Check it out I said the TR-808 is coming Bright and early in the morning I said the TR-808 is coming But you see, that's his daily living I'm D-Nice, the 808 is no mistake Now this is not the time but the music that I make And wait, I'm tellin' you, why don't you just listen? Just because I come from the Bronx, I'm not dissin' or wishin' 'Cause the beat sounds groovy I drink Amaretto on the rocks 'cause it cools me off And usually, when I am speakin' I usually wear a cap and gown when I'm teachin' or reachin' Huh, out to touch someone I'm rockin' on the microphone just to have fun, so run Because I'm number one And if you wanna battle me, then pull out a gun Don't forget the ammo (Say what?) -nnition and listen Don't ever bite a lyric 'cause then you're pissin' me off And with the style that I'm bringin' The girls love it, of course, girls, I'm swingin' And I'm seein', I left the girls' hearts broken Now I'm back to tell you all I'm not jokin' And I'm hopin' you see that I'm the main topic You put me in the wildest crowd and I'ma rock it Because the TR-808 is coming Bright and early in the morning I said the TR-808 is coming The TR-8, the TR-8, the TR-808 And every single time of the week, BDP rule! Know what I'm sayin'? My man D-Nice in the house Producin' up his own album, this time in 1990 How many you suckers out there can get with that? Ha-ha, ha-ha, know what I'm sayin'? I ain't gonna give no shoutouts on this record 'Cause the whole BDP crew knows down And know who ain't down So if you not down, throw your hands in the air if you ain't down Ha-ha-ha, suckers We fresh for 1990 as usual My man D-Nice wreckin' the parties, wreckin' the females Wreckin' the clubs all over the country London, Japan, Germany, everywhere on the planet We rule, get it through your head once and for all My name is KRS-One, I'm outta here Peace!
