5 Boroughs Lyrics - Buckshot

KRS-One representing Ma 6T va Crack er, Cercle Rouge KRS-One 

Droppin' on 'em like this, pick it up, pick it up 

You know what time it is when KRS-One comes through 

Representing all true hip hop culture, you know how we do 

How can they throw you in prison now for long years 

If in reality the black man doesn't belong here? 

Have you forgotten how we got to this place? 

Why then are all the jails predominantly the black race? 

If you don't teach me my culture, I don't know who I am 

I don't know the difference between my enemy and my friend 

So I'm robbin' and killin' I got nothing to live for 

You turn my father into a boy, my mother into a whore 

Now I'm hardcore on the Ave 

Watching while people that got me to walk fast 

After beatin' us, rapin' us and robbin' us 

400 years of that's what's inside of us

Watch Ariana Grande Sing Her Hits On Carpool Karaoke 

Take a look at me now I'm really your creation 

A technological anti-human mutation 

A mutation of a better way of life 

You first pulled the knife 

But to heal it will take my whole life 

I fought no force on this level 

I listen to bass and treble 

Thinking that the white man is the devil 

'Cause who could be so cruel like this? 

So heartless, so senseless? 

But I'm taught by the devil 

To grow up and be a devil 

To do the same devilish things on another level 

However when I act out the mission 

You turn around and throw me in prison 

You a sucker 

Photos 

If you come from France 

And you like the break dance, say, oh oh 

(Oh oh) 

And If you come from New York 

And you like the way I talk, say, yeah 

(Yeah) 

You can kill a man by taking him out of his land 

And putting him in a land he really doesn't understand 

Then teach him to respect Greek mythology like 

Pythagoras, Ptolemies, Socrates, these people are thieves 

They stole us astronomy, mathematics, all tactics of biology 

Even the concept of democracy stolen from the King Akhanoton 

Put down the book, use your brain 

If you don't know who you are you are clinically insane 

The board of education can't see that 

Well it deserves to get beaten and robbed by black 

Give me my frame of mind back, give me my culture 

But you don't understand that 'cause you a sucker 

If you come from France 

And you like the break dance, say, oh oh 

(Oh oh) 

And If you come from New York 

And you like the way I talk, say, yeah 

(Yeah) 

I see Beauval in the house, Collinet in the house 

Sarcelles in the house, Cercle Rouge in the house 

KRS-One rocks the mike without a doubt 

Turning parties out, you know what I am about 

'Cause we will be here forever I told you 

Soldier floods your mind like Noah 

As you get older you've got to pay attention 

At how you livin' hardcore 

You ain't a kid anymore grow up 

To blow up the spot you're at 

Learn the skill and go to the top of that 

Cercle Rouge definitely rockin' in rap 

KRS-One I got your back 

If you come from France 

And you like the break dance, say, oh oh 

(Oh oh) 

And If you come from New York 

And you like the way I talk, say, yeah 

(Yeah) 

KRS-One with the freestyle rhyme 

Representing Cercle Rouge in France, all the graffiti artists 

We like to break dance to the MC, yes, you know that's me 

KRS-One down with the BDP 

From way back you know we take it like that 

Kenny P and Zizwe, Will-Dee, gods of rap 

We do it like this, do it like that
