form of positive creation\n  Difficult, isn't it? The point? You're missin it\n  Your face is in front of my hand so I'm dissin it\n\n  Scott LaRock is innovating, decorating hip-hop\n  The beat may drop but not like all the others\n  They just cover while I just smother\n  Every single stupid mutha -- wait wait brotha\n  KRS-One will have to show another\n  MC or self-proclaimed king or queen\n  Or gang or crew or solo or team\n  That I mean\n  Business\n\n  So tell me what is this?\n  See I come from the Bronx so just kiss this\n  Boogie Down Productions is somewhat an experiment\n  The antidote for sucka MC's and they're fearin it\n  It's self-explanatory, no one's writin for me\n  The poetry I'm rattlin is really not for battlin\n\n  But if you want I will simply change the program\n  So when I'm done you will simply say \"damn\"\n  So this conversation is somewhat hypothetical\n  Boogie Down Productions attempts to prove somethin\n  I say hypothetical because it's only theory\n  My theory, so take a minute now to hear me\n\n  So what's your problem?\n  It seems you want to be KRS-Two\n  From my point of view, backtrack, stop the attack\n  Cos KRS-One means simply one KRS\n  That's it, that's all, solo, single, no more, no less\n\n  I've built up my credential financially and mental\n  Anytime I rhyme I request the instrumental\n  I speak clearly and that's merely\n  Or should I say a mere, help to my career\n\n  I'm really not into fashion or craze\n  Just the one who pays and how soon I get a raise\n  You're probably in a daze, acting out of sympathy\n  Wrote a couple of rhymes and think that you can get with me\n  But what a pity, I'm rockin New York City\n  And everywhere else, you put the jams on the shelf\n  You as an amateur is outspoken\n  I'm looking at your face, you seem to be hopin\n\n  That I might stutter, stop, or just mess up\n  But everything's live that's why I don't dress up\n  \"Blastmaster KRS\" a synonym for \"fresh\"\n  I'm the teacher of the class, I do not pass no test\n  Got DJ Scott LaRock by my side, not in back of me\n  Cos we make up the Boogie Down Productions crew faculty\n  Get it right, or train yourself not to bite\n  Cos when you bite you have bitten, when I hear it, that's it\n  I do not contemplate a battle cause it really ain't worth it\n  I'd rather point a pistol at your head and try to burst it\n\n  I'm teaching poetry\n  I'm teaching poetry\n  Scott LaRock\n  We're teaching po-e-try\n"}]
