[Verse One: KRS-One]
I rhyme for respect yall, intellect yall
Not sex yall, move that neck yall, correct yall
Checks yall, cash yall, dont last yall
With cops yall to blast yall, harass yall
Flash yall as they pass yall, through the glass yall
These videos gas yall cause they trash yall
I ask yall this fact yall
Unaired yall, these cops yall they scared yall
They fear yall they hear yall they hate yall
Less than 40,000 a week, they make yall
Cops yall with black feet, livin from week to week
Walk crooked beats in the streets yall
They greet yall with the heat yall, to defeat yall
Its deep yall, hear what I teach yall, and speak yall
[Chorus Two: KRS-One]

Science of mind - mess with that
Family - mess with that
Hip-Hop - we lovin that
[Verse Two: Shuman]
Yeah, yo.. aiyyo, yo
Who seein us, with an overdose level of free in us
They bring the heat to us
They dont really want the beat in us
Take heed to us
While they plottin and schemin to be deletin us
Best believe in us, they not defeatin us
Them glocks wanna bust
With twenty-one shots to put the leak in us
So they can bloody the street with us
What does it mean to us
You know what they need from us
Give cream to us, hide the lies and deceit from us
That doesnt equal us
Whos ready to get in the Jeep with us
Form a fleet with us and take back the street with us
Meet with us, drop bombs in the street with us
Never saw it comin, attack on the sneak with us
Thus, they cant compete with us
We flow through your veins like DJs
When they cut, youll be bleedin us
I came with Kris to heat it up
Showin my bodys the temple, hip-hop is the lock
Now put the key in us
[Chorus One]
[Verse Three: KRS-One]
Truth yall, facts yall, proof yall, black yall
Time to check this map yall, are we goin back yall?
Lets make a pact yall, come together watch your back yall
Stay in tact yall, never whack - gimme dap yall
Comin at yall, headcrack yall with the facts yall
Police yall, on the attack yall if ya black yall
So if this is fact yall, when we rap yall
over the track yall, why we rap about crack yall?
Thats whack yall, we trapped yall
Holdin the gat yall just to kill another black yall
Clak clak clak yall, its like that yall
KRS-One yo, lets take it back yall, listen!
[Chorus Two]
