Lyric Ya Slippin
(Yo man these people around here in 87 just slippin dough you know
what
I m sayin? Boogie Down Productions not slippin dough so hold ya
hands you
know what I m sayin? (word) Yo! What s goin on? Mr. Magic you know
what
happened? He slipped on us he die. Pumpin KISS FM we rock. To my man
DJ
Red Alert we chillin (word). Yo man! Yo do heard about man this
shit
about this kid Wearin the, ah, Jerry Curls, man. Word up! He was
slippin .
Yo dough, word up, word up. He had a yellow coat on, but no
description was
given)
Now what you just heard, people, was a little kickin
But let me tell you this while the clock is still tickin
This is the warning, known as the caution:
Do not attempt to dis cuz you ll soften
Just like a pillow, or better yet a mattress
You can t match this style or attack this
While I m telling you, write on schedule
Fuck with K-R-S and I ll bury you
Deep in the dirt, or sand with a shovel
No fight, no scurry, or scuffle, just muffle
Total domination on stage
Kris is the name, 22 is the age
Those who wanna battle, I know who you are
You got a little girl, you drive a little car
You come into the place with that look on your face
Before you ran the mile, you lost the race
So assume you re doomed when you step in the room
I ll be the witch and you ll be the broom
I ll ride you, guide you into the concrete
I ll slide you to a funky beat
So what do we have here?
A sucka in fear
I snatched your heart
Put it way up on the chart
At ten you re fucked
At nine you suck
At eight you re a sucker
At seven-a mothafucka
At six you re slapped
At five you re just wacked
At four you re lost
At three, you re just soft
At two you re an ass
At one, you re a dick
But before you slip, I ll whip
Cuz homeboy, ya slippin
(Yo get my slip on, I m chillin on. A long time, ya see me slip on,
crop D,
and I ll slip on, everybody-I slip on. Sayin? I ll come back if I miss
you,
sayin?)
I understand that music calms the savage beast
But keep in mind that I compose my music piece by piece
First a bass, a snare
A little cut over there
I add my name K-R-S
And the shit becomes fresh
I ask Moe and ICU for their thoughts
Layin down a power play all the suckas are tought
One again, the tactics of original arts
We re gettin payed to the end cuz we were down from the start
We re known as Boogie Down Productions, ain t no B-boy stance
Gauranteed to make ya dance, if you give us a chance
We re goin off and of course all ya suckas are lost
You wanna hear a fresh rhyme? You ve come to the source
Because I m the type of guy who s not put up on a pedestal
Run my rhyme on time and on schedule
One after another, another to the next
Can t rhyme when you re tense, or your muscles won t flex
Check your larynx
It may get lower havin sex
Or may get higher
When bustin as a liar
These are the things I teach so be tought
To me you re kinda short, how many battles have you fought?
If you come up with a number, notebook, or list
It just doesn t matter, you can still get dissed
I m bringin back that ol New York rap
That gets you jacked while you re hands still clap
It s funny
Just dissin you I can make money
But noone s tippin
My message is simple: Ya slippin!
(They slippin -dough-1987-they spippin , but we goin all the way to
the top
man (word)-you know what I m sayin? To my brother KRS-1, you re large,
I m
sayin, large-everytime, man, large. They re slippin )
E-N-O, S-R-K
When you go through other albums, you re sure to say
Goddam! They all seem to sound alike
Till you hear the crew standin over in the light
Showing, glowing, on the top growing
The lyrics keep flowing and flowing and just flowing
Just like a river, or better yet a stream
I m proud to be down with the winning team
So don t ever in your life even think about an arguement
Cuz you ll get walked on like carpet
We ll pick you up, and dust you off
Stamp BDP on you re head and you re off
But you won t even change that to say instead
I m down cuz I got a BDP on my head
So just before you inherit that ass kicking
I suggest you wake right up cuz ya slippin
(Yo! They slippin -dough, they slippin -dough, they slippin -word up,
I
don t care no more, man, I m commin out of the shell-dough, they
slippin
man. B-boy Records, Magic, yo all the time they slippin-ya know what
I m
saying? This other kid-I don t know what his name is, but you know
what time
it is. (WORD UP!) He s slippin too (everybody). Slippin , and
everytime
he do somethin , he s slippin . Slippin .)
