Krs-one - Line Of Fire lyrics

[Intro] Down quarters, all hands man your battle stations. All hands man your battle stations. It's a drill, it's a drill, it's a drill, it's a drill, it's a drill, it's a... [Verse One: KRS-One] I am a jealous rap god for sure, have no other rap gods before me Kneel to these MC's and they corny Be on thee alert, I practice After I smirk I do work, MC's lack this, they chase skirts All day and all night I write Touch up your mic and make the body feel alright MC's bite and incorrect recite What I say on the radio late night But their lyrical structure ain't shaped right They don't speak right BAM!

[Interlude] Captain. The target's been located. Lock on the microphone. Microphone's locked on. They're in the line of fire [F.T.] Yo, a lot of real n***as died but I survived mad sh** Hustling on the strip eating fried crab sticks I'm a live ba*tard Your hood I drive past it Shawty thought my dick was small I surprised that b**h I love myself, I wanna hug myself But how can I judge you when I'm a thug myself? Nobody put a n***a on, I had to plug myself Stole whips, bust slugs, touched d** as well No drinks at the bar is a disgrace I run with a bunch of ugly n***as that got scars on they face And fire arms on they waist Make it 'Nam in this place If you say, "F ain't the bomb" then you're [?] [Bamboo] I hold it down like gravity On grounds of strategy I crown the casualty Survive the agony, slide before the fives try bagging me My capacity is a glossary of atrocity as a prophecy I'll be damned if n***as cram to understand Bam's animosity I'll surface with a purpose, disperse verses of revelation Lurk the Earth without getting murked in this diverse thirst and desperation I write agitated trife, affidavits of life Despite aggravated, stagnated, infatuated with mics But doe I unfold untold chapters I'm molding rappers My stature rapture beat n***as in the head until they skull fracture Now who's doing the damaging when rambling? Bam' the vandal and scandalling, live gambling Survive by scrambling
