"On a higher level" - KRS-One 'Higher Level' [Verse One] See I go full throttle And what I say different So I'm a role/roll model Like a displayed biscuit Presence of mind to share these presents of mine And while I'm Settin' these lines there's other things on my mind It's memorize Remember Rise? All you ridin' along And vibe with me while I'm on And don't try this at home Riots will form as I perform Calm and quiet your storm You slippin' on the road of life And your tires are worn If you Would have stayed in Or would have been out Or if you would have stopped playing Or you would have pulled out Or would have Turned down the doe Or earned as you go Or if you would have finished school Or you would have went pro Or would have Never dealt cause you knew she was bugged You would have dealt Because you knew what she was capable of Now people tell me if they was nice then they would be on And that's right, like if you lived here then you would be home So just... [Chorus] "It's a business to create" - KRS-One "On a higher level" - KRS-One 'Higher Level' "Rise" [Verse Two] As soon as I enta You just feel a sense of I don't care what they inta I'm a genius inventa This is For those who started The flows that they flow If we all followed then we wouldn't have a lamp or a stove I'm innovated Y'all evasive Do you see what I see? Like who would have thought all things that a peanut could be? So it's fate that I relate Cause I thought that you thinkin' When you drinkin' Cause life's short But life's short cause you drinkin' And battered and bruised So many blacks are blue And sky or royal Where is my home when I was born of foreign soil? This language ain't mine I cuss them in theirs That's why ain't one us learnin' And they hog all the chairs Hence, Pence tax and y'all don't represent We react, when in the course of human events My people do they time like ? That translates roughly into "You gon' jet or you gon' die" [Chorus] [Verse Three] It's the way we act It's the way your body moves Open up your books This is not a party school Went to a party school And started parties too Got in my party phase Got back my party rage I speak with the basics and people impatient I ain't start Reachin' and chasin' And speakin' in Haitian Who does it better The king or the host? Drinks on me Like the code of the winningest coach I bar tend, you all trends And I thought you should know The only idea for now like reality shows My feelings spillin' on a page Little shapes of ink I sip it, spit it on a stage and find a place to think Cause on my shoulder there's my destiny right next to the chip And I'm rubber, you're glue, and you're talkin' sh** It's like a mix show, open mic or whatever And if you wanna be the truth we'll let you spit accapella [Chorus]
