[Intro: KRS-One]
That's the one right there! (Woowoowoowoowoowoo)
(T'cha) Hardcore (S-Five) Word up
Jungle, tribal
Hip-hop listen

[Chorus 2X: KRS-One]
We gotta growwwwwwwwwwwwww
We the hip-hop nation and we never gonna end

[KRS-One]
Yeah, c'mon!
We gotta grow with it and go with it let's flow with it
Let a pro spit it, no critics and no cynics
They don't know shitty, but they criticize how we doin it
Twenty straight years so far we're still pursuin it
(Pursuin what?) Peace, love, fun and unity
Hip-Hop ain't music to me, it's a community
An international culture that goes beyond great see
Goes beyond classic, goes beyond a place
When the money's in your face do you forget the movement?
Man we LOYAL to the culture but you already knew it!

[Chorus]

[KRS-One]
Yeah, yeah, listen!
Everybody's wonderin where KRS is at
"All the Way to Heaven" right where Doug E. Fresh is at
God said bring the message right to where they rest at
And if they let you in they home, man you gotta bless that
One love right now in your ride or where you rest at
I take it out the church, right to where the mess at
My lyrics take you to your life, not where your death at
I spit a different lyric, but you probably guessed that
When it comes to Edutainment, I'm the best cat
Knowledge Reigns Supreme, you don't wanna test that~! (KRS)
You ain't never seen a teacher like me
I be there amongst the people like, G-O-D
I don't need to be on TV, I got my fame
I don't need the ice, it's nice, but I got my name
Y'know, sometimes God sends Katrina but
months before that God sends a teacher
But it's the prophets vs. them profits all the time
I was born to rhyme, but I do more than rhyme
And you can do more than crime, explore your mind
Seek the teacher, knowledge is all you'll find

[Chorus] - 2X

[KRS-One]
Yeah! S-Five whattup?
S-Five whattup man?

[S-Five]
Yo we gotta preserve, the future of hip-hop
So if you touch one of our kids, you know you get shot
We gotta raise our community, trust respect unity
Head for these politicians doin diddly
squat, you know the plot, we gettin murdered and shot
They schemin a lot, but you dreamin a lot
Cause when we dream, that makes our reality pop
Some say, the underground is goin over the top
But it's not, hip-hop is the cream of the crop
We need to wake up, stand up, grow up so we can build
One hand on the Bible the other hand on the steel
It's the T'cha, and S-Five if you didn't know
This is the anthem, BDP, lettin you know
We need to grow! {*echoes*}
