Krs-one - What It Is lyrics

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you This is what it is We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop This is what it is We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you This is what it is We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop This is what it is A man once said that the streets are watchin' us If this be the truth we must keep hip-hop in us They'll never topple us, you done heard them thugs Now, it's time to hear from the philosophers Buildings fallin', employment stallin' us Now, it's time, the future is callin' us Television is boring us, radio is whorin' us Lurin' us with a chorus plus, you can't even trust The church, the synagogue, they all deceivin' us It's time to believe in us To believe in a hip-hop lifestyle that agrees with us No squeeze or bust, bo, bo, you find ease with us The DJ's, the MC's is us The ice we've seen enough It's time for hip-hop and this is what it is We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you This is what it is We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop This is what it is We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you This is what it is We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop This is what it is You know we lead a movement It's called 'I am hip-hop' Cats debate about it, but I am hip-hop Cats wanna talk about but I am hip-hop My cats in New York like "I am hip-hop" My cats in Atlanta like "I am hip-hop" Cats in Miami like "I am hip-hop" Chi-Town like "I am hip-hop" All over L.A., "I am hip-hop" Keep the rawness, the gutter the real The movement's growin' like corn in the field KRS-One was born with the steel I'm on top of my game like Shaquille O'Neal No surprises, hip-hop come in all sizes Now, watch as KRS rises up, up, up, up and away Now, you critics mouth shut, got nothin' to say And that's good for the kids, 'cause hip-hop This is what it is We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you This is what it is We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop This is what it is We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you This is what it is We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop This is what it is Stay focused, focused Stay focused oh, oh Yeah, uh-huh, focused Yo, look, look, this is what it is y'all need to stop confusin' the kids Makin' 'em think you gotta do a bid to be hip-hop Man that ain't it Rob a n***a, k** a n***a, man that ain't sh** How you figure, how murder make you hip?
