KRS-One and Buckshot - Survival Skills

​DJ Revolution cuts and scratches​ (SKILLS)
"Microphones are not for these emcees
Who don't have no" "Survival!" "SKILLS!"

See what I've been through
See what I go through
If I don't look at you
It's cause I don't know you
Know where to go to, know where to hide
What does it take, nowadays to survive

Small-time rappers ain't as dope as us
When you hear rappers in the club
You hope it's us
Back in the days, they used to smoke the dust
But cats kept jumpin off the roof too much
So today we don't abuse the Dutch
We use our minds to write
Rhymes that you can touch
My feet stay planted on the ground
You want that soft pop shit
You better book another sound
We gets down, I know the streets
Y'all rappers got maps out, lookin all around
Huh! Y'all want the crown
But why should I battle you
If next week they're gonna put
You in the ground?
That's a waste of time I'd
Rather blaze a rhyme
On someone tryin to raise they mind
Bucktown, USA
(BUCK TOOOOOWN) - Boogie Down connect
Yo Buck, what the fuck they gon' say?

Who cares! They want that pop shit
That soft hip-hop shit
That KRS and Buck +not+ shit - BOOOY!
Beats bangin on your door like rent time
I invent the rhyme that was meant
For your mind - ORRRRR
I get physical, I mean physi-kal
I might lean with a smile
And kill you in style
Wow! I am just the smartest MC
I am known as what you call an artist MC
See, part of me be like "Pardon me"
The other half be like
"Motherfuck manners! Bust the hammer"
Damn I, feel like a mattress the way
They keep sleepin on me
They don't see I'm the craftmatic
Huh, I spread everywhere, led everywhere
Shot ricochet and bounce back lookin heavy
Yeah! And my deadly year, lick machete, yeah
You like professin
But you failin on your test this year
