Krs-one - Things Is About To Change lyrics

Word.. we stand out, word We don't wanna sound like that bullsh** [KRS-One] Let 'em all be aware, not at all will I care You gotta know it's about the flow when you comin in here Not how long is your hair, but how long were you here How many dues you paid, crews you slayed, yeah How many clubs you done rocked, f'real You ever rocked outside with cats poppin they steel? You fake like Ma-Ma-Ma-Max Headroom You go from the bedroom to the studio back to the bedroom We be on the front line, pavin the way for you to do what you do, get what you get, say what you say Flip what you flip, play what you play at the Grammy's But you don't represent our family, you a thief! [Chorus: KRS-One] All up and down the East coast THINGS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE All up and down the West coast, down in the South THINGS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE All up top and in North Canada, make some noise THINGS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE All my cats in London, Birmingham, Brixton, word! THINGS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE [KRS-One] Join the campaign to rearrange the rap game Don't look at me like I'm insane, the facts remain plain You to blame, when you take it in vein The gains and struggles and pains of those that already came From the beginning we tried to attain, the money and fame That's not new to the game, it's still the same But what seems to change is the loyalty Rappers degrade hip-hop for a royalty It's all about me and my click and we ballin G But we fallin, stallin our callin to be free You can't see, they're gonna judge our poetry in two-thousand and twenty-three, where will your money be? Where will your Benz be? Your friends be? Your beginnin be? Your end be? Gently You tell me to my face my style you envy But behind my back you condemn me, you a thief! [Chorus: KRS-One] All out in Germany, Africa THINGS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE Word up, hip-hop, join the nation, movin! THINGS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE Word up, all them fake-a** whack rappers, word up! THINGS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE Tell 'em, go to they shows and let 'em know it's like this THINGS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE [KRS-One] For sure, it's the people that defend me Yeah you on MTV, but did you know Ted Demme? What about Fab 5 Freddy, Red Alert? You not ready.. ready.. ready.. {*fades*} {*ends with sound of gla** shattering*}
