Over 30

[KRS-One]

Get your hands up!

[Hook: repeat 2X]

Where my people that's, over 20 now

Where my people that's, over 30 now

Where my people that's, over 40 now

Classic, that's what they call us now

[KRS-One]

It's your teacher, welcome to my classroom

Who's he, what's that, yo you better ask soon

It's the K to the R to the S One

By now, I think it's real, I'm the best one

Yes son~! I take it to the old school

I spit superrhymes cause "I am so cool..."

... a duel?

You must be fool, player you know the rules!

I take it to the old school quick

Get Fresh Crew, Doug E. Fresh, "The Adventures of Slick Rick"

It gets so sick, cause I ain't no joke

This song goes out to grown folk like Tone Loc

[Hook]

[KRS-One]

I'm "Smooth" like Big Daddy Kane, no bull

Check out "My Melody," I'm "Paid in Full"

Before "The Chronic" I was Stetsasonic

Old school, true school, oh yes sir I'm it!

1985 bumpin Mantronix

1995 gettin slammed with Onyx

2005 doin shows with comics

2015 we still gon' rock shhhh

With dough, 'dro my flow in the pocket

I'm already 40 some say I need to stop it

Call ME when it's time to really hip-hop it

I'm true school, if you wasn't there don't knock it!

[Hook]

[KRS-One]

Every year I get newer, this goes out to the future

Just like Slick Rick the Ruler, KRS a true schooler

You wanna be down man when I'm layin it down man

Place all packed I'm bringin the heat with soundman

C'mon lay it down man! Movin the crowd man

Television viewin is down man

Radio listenin down man; you can't say

You was doin it better than we was around man!

We was down for the Rage and we was Against the Machine

Now we turned the page and we the mainstream

Servin the same fiends, but are we on the same team

That was prophesied in Dr. King's dream?

No matter how things seem I stay with the original plan

Teachin our children original man

And who's the "Criminal" clan?

My '86 lyrics then you hear it helped you build and expand
