You know, is funny
If you repeat the actions of your own success
You won't be
You gotta know own formula, your own ingredients
made you, you

1987, I was at the Latin
Listenin' to Africa give the order
The call of the order was to the slaughter
He said, "Record companies got nuttin for ya"
Without a lawyer, he taught The Infinity
In how could be a, many a blessing
And that was great, so in
was no debate, we had to end the hate

The name of the was Stop the Violence
And unity, knowledge, and
We talkin' 'bout Martin and Malcolm
Had these ghetto kids goin', huh, about him?
1989, Professor Griff his mind
But his of speech is declined
1990, with the West coast
East coast, coast, who is the best coast?

Lookin' now, of course it was bogus
The whole argument was where we lost
We got hopeless, not with the and music
But hip-hop, and how we used it
Or abused it, you know how the get
You it cause you choose it
1991, we opened our
With Human Against Lies, we tried

To talk about the of humanity
But all these rappers got mad at me
They called me Captain Human, another message was
Self don't pay the rent
that? Nobody wanted conscious rap
It was like these ballers at
Where can call us at? All was wack
Hip-hop culture was fallin' flat and was that

So in 1992, I found my
They said, "Yo Kris, what you do?"
I said, "Damn, why wanna get with me?
If I they I'm contradictory"
If I play the bitch role, take my shoe
Tell me what the am I to do?
So I did it, don't get it get it get it
All of a sudden these critics wanna spit it

Kay Are Ess One is
Just I wouldn't let these rappers get with me
That, you and pen
If a rapper diss, yo I'd do it again
But I'm makin' these ends, and I got my
And I really don't have to sit in the pen
So I go back to the
1993, is uhh, wack

Go back, check the
1994, return of the Bap
It all about the loot
It was all Harry Allen Rhythm Cultural Institute
1 up, 1995
Conscious rap is still
But nobody play it, nobody wanna say it
Nobody it, they'd all rather hate it

1996, it really don't
We put together somethin' called the Temple of
Not DJin', breakin', graf and lyrics
But how hip-hop the spirit
Into a World, that's what I did
1997, I was my kid
Or kids, but I, had to go
'Cause New York DJ's the flows

To and hoes, but that wasn't me
I'll be if I dance for the MTV
So in 1998, I to debate
Should I go now, or should I really
'99, I to L.A. you see
And took a gig the WB
Started studyin' full-time
To have a full heart, body, full mind

But you know what the is or was
DJ's raise our kids, 'cause
They so caught up in the cash and
How they gonna see a hip-hop school?
How gonna really see a hip-hop temple?
don't even wanna play my instrumentals, but
Big up Dr. Dre, Snoop,
Xzibit, he was there in a minute

Mic Conception, all of them,
Yo you need help? I should call
I was in L.A., I held the crown
Bloods, Crips, they me down

So I up the mic and I quit my job
to Simone, I gotta get with God
She said, "Don't worry bout these dollars and
Record companies ain't got for ya"
Damn, she took me to Bam

Brought me back to the New York
Now I

{And uhh, that's y'know
That's the hip-hop that that we're about
We come from the uhh the of, of Kool DJ Herc
Who originated hip-hop in the 70's
And then Africa Bambaata and Nation
Who something called The Infinity Lessons
And consciousness to hip-hop, and then Grandmaster Flash

{And uhh, we created the the Violence movement, you may recall
A song, Self and and and so on
All of this, goes to uhh uhh, the idea of this culture out
