Take It - will.i.am/KRS-One

It's not about a salary it's all about reality

I'm all in the academy exposing all the fallacies

Not who other rappers be few can go on after me

I know the city's trapping me watch 'em like my calories

Cats that wanna battle me they learn of the catastrophe

Don't bring your rapping back to me

Never will you ever challenge me with what you chat to me

Sealed is my anatomy I do it lyrical mastery KRS oh

The time has arrived as your wakeup call

When I'm rhyming I'm obliged to shake up all

It be a cleat this will drop the mic and take a ball

Too many part time rappers that fake and stall

When you see KRS you will say I'm tall

Cause no I don't take shorts not at all

Philosopher not some trick in the mall

Before rock met rap I was sicker than all

I mastered this few rappers going after Kris

Thirteen albums you do the math on this

Obviously knowledge you have to get

What the ignorant don't know hell they'll laugh at it

All my college students you know you have to get

Your receipt I mean degree it's only facts I spit

Take it cause everyone ain't gonna make it

If you're hearing my voice you have a choice now take it

Just take it you need it

We got way more in store believe me

Consume it inhale breathe it

Take t-take take t-take t-take take it

Just take it you need it

We got way more in store believe me

Consume it breathe it

Take t-take take t-take t-take take it

I rhyme for the inner city

No I don't ask for no praise or no pity

I got the power you want to stay with me

Further down this lyrical road it gets tricky

Stay with me a different type of rapper emceeing

Seeing is believing but believing is seeing

And seeing is agreeing with the truth of your higher being

So when I'm rhyming I take time with the minds I'm freeing

The teacher is teaching the student is seeking

Them hookers be creeping instead of a book on the weekend

I'm looking to nuking 'em all in the dust

They reject knowledge and without the anointing you rust

Laugh if you must but trust that I see you naked

You need what I'm giving but you front and you faking

So like I stated everybody ain't gonna make it

But if you're hearing my voice you have a choice now take it

Just take it you need it

We got way more in store believe me

Consume it inhale breathe it

Take t-take take t-take t-take take it

Just take it you need it

We got way more in store believe me

Consume it inhale breathe it

Take t-take take t-take t-take take it

I'll keep on bringing it singing it 'til your ears is ringing

And steaming gleaming the dream and true emceeing with meaning

And see men we all friending for the cream and the screaming

A demon got us believing screaming rhyming for no reason

Every weekend we weaken discipline is what we needing

But we too busy freaking to understand divine speaking

KRS and BBE with will 1 x and Phyfe dawg you'll see me

Oh oh it's the real hip hop

KRS one shout out to Scott la rock

We do it from here to there every city every block

And now it's about time we stop
