lirik lagu krs-one – knock em out
[intro]
wooh, oh
joe riggs, what you saying
[hook: sl!ck rick]
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
[verse 1]
yeah, i’m spitting truth, ain’t nothing fancy
fake — i can’t be, with this microphone i’m handy
radio and video bans me, they can’t stand me
i’m the opposite of these hoes dancing in panties
truth seeker, i write for people, not a grammy
the true teacha, teaching about ancestors and family
the proof seeker, bringing evidence, not the fallacy
the new leader, bringing solutions to the insanity
this strategy avoid calamity and tragedy
do not let technology run off with your humanity
i deal with reality, not lemon or hannity
this is why most of these rappers is not matching me
it’s a catastrophe that got you looking at a screen
and the screen is showing you scenes of what your culture means
as for society and poverty, drug dealers and fiends
these ain’t the images that tell you what your culture means
rappers like krs~one are nowhere on the scene
they promote rappers than contradict dr. king’s dream
these acts are deliberate, they’re part of the same scheme
cops shot the kid, i still hear him scream
this ain’t funny, so don’t you dare laugh
just another case about the wrong path
straight and narrow or you will not last
sl!ck rick told y’all, goodnight
[hook: sl!ck rick]
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
[verse 2]
knock em out the box kris, kris already got this
this is what hip hop is, spitting my synopsis
a sellout? i am not this, pull out and cop this
revolutionary topic right over the hot sh~t
video is for your optics, that’s why you watch this
but it can become hypnotic if you do not stop it
your mind you must unlock it from their phony topics
focus on the truth, with proof, use your logic
words are like purpose, character, you got it?
or got ’em, invisible forces, can you spot ’em?
the blind continues to lead the blind to the bottom
destroying their cities like gomorrah and sodom
i rock ’em with truth ’cause knowledge reigns supreme
cops shot the kid, i still hear him scream
this ain’t funny, so don’t you dare laugh
just another case about the wrong path
straight and narrow or you will not last
sl!ck rick told y’all, goodnight
[hook: sl!ck rick]
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
[verse 3]
out the box kris, like a stone i rock this
the beginner just eating dinner, no i am not this
i take it back to schoolly d and super lover cee
steady b, i’m three times dope or dope times three
you know me, i ain’t stutter
why do you think they never promote the original culture they putting us under
we all know the truth about hip hop and what it really is
but we sit and settle for what they peddle to little kids
i’m piping like a kettle, this mental man will flip your lid
take it back to when we used to rap and djs zig~a~zig
when you reverse evil, believe me people you really live
help, love or witnessing wealth, that’s what i’m here to give
no i do not think of my self, i think of these future kids
everything we doing today will determine how they live
many djs cutting and mixing but they ain’t playing nothing
many rappers, ripping and rapping but they ain’t saying nothing
corporate yelling, “black lives matter!” but they stay fronting
that’s why this black lives rapper he keeps in way bumping
it ain’t nothing, no assumptions, just facts
it seems knowledge is reigning supreme and that’s that
bring it back, rappers rapping like we ain’t under attack
they traders and our neighbors, which makes it doubly wack
look at that while these corny ass rappers serving their fiends
cop shot the kid, i still hear him scream
this ain’t funny, so don’t you dare laugh
just another case about the wrong path
straight and narrow or you will not last
sl!ck rick told y’all, goodnight
[hook: sl!ck rick]
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
knock em out the box kris, out the box kris
