[KRS One]
Like I keep saying, that bass is dope
I keep telling 'em all
That bass is dope, dope, dope, dope! Ay! Ay!
This is KRS One, in full effect
BDP Posse rule, every time, seen?
And seckle!
And anyone we see with a crown 'pon dem head
We just push it off, seen?
Because KRS One is teacher
And we come right now to reach ya
We go
[Hook: KRS-One]
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum

Newsbreak
The notorious Just Ice has just gunned down one man up in The Bronx
News later at 11 o'clock
Seen? Ay!
[Refrain: KRS-One]
Suicide, it's a suicide, buda-bye-bye
Suicide, it's a suicide, eh
Suicide, it's a suicide, buda-bye-bye
Suicide, it's a suicide
[Verse 1: KRS-One]
Boogie Down Productions always recite rhymes
The ones that chase us be like two steps behind
'Cause we write the records that be rockin' every time
Like "Poetry," "Super Ho" and "Listen To My 9'"
I don't eat flesh, no type of meat of any kind
But you eat meat, better known as also swine
But some eat swine, better known as also pork
They stab it, and they stab it, 'til they get it on their fork
The first one to say there's nothing wrong with a pig
But haven't you seen the way this animal lives?
Why I tell ya
[Refrain: KRS-One]
Suicide, it's a suicide, buda-bye-bye
Suicide, it's a suicide, eh
Suicide, it's a suicide, buda-bye-bye
Suicide, it's a suicide
Come in, Just Ice, eh
Me say, come in Just Ice, eh
[Verse 2: Just Ice]
Move your body
Move your body
Just Ice, KRS up in the vicinity
I-man don't want to be down with no sucker
Whole heap of lyrics rotten like the gutter
Me need partner to partner who can chop it like champion
Mi bredren KRS, sir, we will get the job done
Me gaze upon the speaker standing tall and ready
I jump on the dancefloor, looking sweet and sexy
Just up on the mic, standing tall and proud
The girls all listen to me stop the strong and loud
Coming from Manhattan and the Uptown Bronx
Brooklyn, upon the strength, know what I'm talking about
You move your body
You move your body
Just Ice, KRS up in the vicinity
[Pre-Chorus: KRS One]
Me say, you move your body, you move your body
Because I'm KRS One, I'm down with BDP
Me say
[Hook: KRS-One]
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
[Verse 3: KRS-One]
Nuttin' new, nuttin' new, dem nuh sayin' nuttin' new
Nuttin' new, nuttin' new, dem nuh sayin' nuttin' new
They run, they run, they run, they run, they run their lyrics through
But when they finish rhyming, you have not heard nuttin' new
Say, this is dedicated to the ones that run their rhyme
Say, time after time after time after time
I know what you all say before you jump up on the stage
But make sure you don't say "Di-di-di da, di-di-di day" (Big shot!)
'Cause then we'll have to look for you and beat you all up
So when you see me in the street, just keep your mouth shut
Nuttin' new, nuttin' new, dem nuh sayin' nuttin' new
Nuttin' new, nuttin' new, dem nuh sayin' nuttin' new
Me say
[Hook: KRS-One]
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
Shum dum-da-dum da-na-na dum-da-dum
[Post-Chorus: KRS-One]
Me say Just Ice
Me say Just Ice
And if you don't think about it one time
I think you're gonna lose your mind
Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Verse 4: Just Ice]
Grease my palm, you better grease my palm
If you want the lyrics to keep right on
I get it, I get it like I was King Kong
The people in the booth, well dem a looking afraid
Upon the dancefloor, the woman dance and sway
They listen to the question of the words I say
The one Just Ice has to work every day
Support my pickney and the bills I pay
So hold up your hand as you start to express
My lyrics are serious and man no vex
In class all by myself, have to pass no test
Bullet from a gun, coming hard and direct
So lick our palm, you better lick our palm
And I'll continue just chat from abroad
Ragamuffin inna session, just a skank from a yard
With your classiest silks and a big gold chain, yeah, big, broad, and large
Telling all of the pack, all of the madness from out di club
Grab your gangstas who push up and fill you up on the slugs
You grease my palm, you better grease my palm
And if you brought the tool, just chat from abroad
Just Ice upon the mic, looking big and steady
KRS on mic, looking slick and ready
Heavy 'pon the people, looking tall and slick
Just Ice, and you know I'm no victim
I am a man notorious, you know I'm from slick
[Outro: KRS One]
Ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up, ease up
Just Ice, you know you're large bwoy
You definitely rule the dancehall style, seen?
Now seckle
KRS One is here without a doubt
And, listen, me want to get one thing straight, seen?
Just Ice is one group, and KRS One is another
So anyone of ya'll think we're down on the same label
You got to come correct, seen?
And seckle
(It go like this now...)
