Illegal Business (2004 Remix)

Ha! Ha! Huh! Huh! What's this?

Yo, huh, huh, huh

[Verse One]

I'm the one that steps in the club, ya not see it

Givin dap, givin pounds and hugs, ya not see it

In the club I'm not lookin for love, ya not see it

Gimme the mic and I'll show you whassup, better believe it

I'm not at the bar, whatever the pub, ya not see it

Still they sendin me these bottles of bub, ya not see it

But I will open the minds of thugs, ya not see it

Who you think really bring in the drugs, ya not see it

60 million people smokin the bud, ya not see it

Cause the American way of life is bugged, ya not see it

You never peep it, yo this ain't a secret, ya not see it

They confiscate it, resell it, you retrieve it, ya not see it!

So believe it while you sit there weeded, ya not see it

Hip-Hop culture who gonna lead it, ya not see it

K, R, S One, ya not see it

Peace love unity and havin the fun, ya not see it

[Hook]

Cocaine business control America

Ganja business control America

KRS-One still causin hysteria

Illegal business control America

Diamond business control America

The oil business control America

KRS-One still causin hysteria

Illegal business control America

[Verse Two]

Yo, rise up brother, raise up sister

Visualize wealth, put yourself in the picture

Very few cats gon' tell you the half, ya not see it

Cause they're really only after the cash, ya not see it

But they wind up sellin they own ass

One album, two album, they gone they don't last

So hold on a minute now, don't be so fast

Knowledge Reigns Supreme with me ya won't crash

Ha, I'm the cat that spits the raw, ya not see it

They can't believe when I hit the tour, ya not see it

I'm not ready to retire for sure, ya not see it

I'm from the 70's, I'm down by law, ya not see it

We passed fliers door to door, ya not see it

Popularity's growin more and more, ya not see it

Conscious rap where the heart is at, ya not see it

We be screamin WHERE THE PARTY AT, ya not see it

But instead of the Bacardi sack, ya not see it

Fallin out in the party in the back, ya not see it

Let me show you where the art is at, ya not see it

Put down your money I'm takin all of that, ya not see it

All the clubs they be callin me back, ya not see it

I'm never short cause I'm taller than that, ya not see it

I'm only showin you the other way out

Maybe I'm preachin but this is what love is about, ya not see it

[Hook]

[Verse Three]

KRS, I speak when I must

This that official underground rap, this you can trust

I stand outside the industry and there's many of us

Talkin mad shit but for those who not bilingual, plenty of stuff

My whole crew is why you can't get with any of us

Reason I'm not on TV cause I'm not sellin you nothin

I'm not rhymin for a Bentley or a house this plush

I spit for the conscious, what about us?

Time's up, time to open that mind up

Temple of Hip-Hop sign up, devils we bind up

When I'm up rhymin cuts your spirit hear it and shines up

Climb up before you wind up takin

[Hook]
