Текст (слова) песни: KRS-One - Attendance

 
[KRS-One] 
Who was the first to flash the heat on the cover? 
Who was the first crew to go against another? 
Who was the first to go acapella on a video replay? 
Who was the first to lose a DJ? 
Who was the first to teach at Yale? 
Who was the first to hit that hip-hop reggae, on the nail? 
Who was the first to say +Stop the Violence+ 
and teach that real bad boys move in silence? 
You`re soon to see the mindbendin rhyme weapon 
Get more busy than two-two-three-double-nine-seven 
All these rappers, swear they the best 
I know whatchu thinkin about, "Where`s KRS?" 
Eighty percent of these rappers fake they {shit} 
The other twenty percent they goin upstate and {shit} 
There`s no way out except knowledge and wisdom 
I got it so I spit `em you ain`t got it you gotta get `em 
Who was the first to produce mix and write 
at the same time up in the club rockin the mic? 
Who was the first to have a DJ and a side man? 
The first to say what is hip-hop? "I AM!" 
Who was the first to produce gangster {shit}? 
Put out, gangster hits with a gangster click? 
Not no prankster {shit}, Steady B, Mad Lion 
Just-Ice, Shabba Ranks and {shit} 
My Channel is Live, my only battle is Jive 
MC to MC, you won`t survive 
You`ll be censored cause my Crew is 2 Live 
I ascend like Christ and watch you die 
 
[Chorus: repeat 2X] 
Breakers (HERE!) MC`s (HERE!) 
Writers (HERE!) Beat-boxers (HERE!) 
DJ`s (HERE!) Hip-Hop (HERE!) 
Hip-Hop (RIGHT HERE!) Hip-Hop (RIGHT HERE!) 
 
[KRS-One] 
I`m like Noah, I`m takin `em, two by two 
I took, them and them and I`ll take, you and you 
Be I`m right or be I`m wrong 
You`ll see I`m tight with this mic, you should be like, "B I`m gone" 
But you still in my face Neo, I`m not your girl 
All that ice and thug life, that`s not my world 
I`m the teacher, but you still can`t see 
cause while you respect Tupac, Tupac respected me 
Another thing; don`t ever show me another ring 
Remember you Rudy Ray Moore, I`m Martin Luther King 
Everything you bring sounds horrendous 
You need repentance, `fore I take attendance 
 
[Chorus] 
 
{*KRS-One hums a melody for a bit*} 
 
[Chorus]
