Down The Charts Lyrics - The Mix Tape - Krs One

You cats still worried about chart position 

It's the heart that your missin 

It's the art that your missin 

Just a little something to hold why'all over 

The Kristal album on the way, word up 

When you're number one, everybody come 

But when you drop to two everybody still with you 

But when you drop to three everybody want to see 

But when you drop to four everybody still endures 

But when you drop to five people will help you strive 

When you drop to six you still in every mix 

But when you drop to seven people start guessin 

When you drop to eight people hesitate 

But when you drop to nine that's when you start to find 

That when you drop to ten you start to lose your friends 

When you drop to eleven your record stop sellin 

When you drop to twelve it's everyone for themselves 

So when you drop to thirteen you stop working 

When you drop to fourteen no more self esteem 

You drop to fifteen 'cause you lived and you seen 

When you drop to sixteen you now out the scene 

When you drop to seventeen you see things you never seen 

Like when you drop to eighteen you know what it mean 

So drop to nineteen and on then to twenty 

At nineteen you lose your honey 

At twenty your money to a Playboy bunny 

At twenty one things ain't funny 

At twenty two you don't know what to do 

So you hit twenty three you look for security 

So you drop to twenty four no more can you endure 

When you drop to twenty five at the bottom you've arrived 

When you drop to twenty six you in a old school mix 

When you drop to twenty seven until you start steppin 

When you drop to twenty eight you start to meditate 

When you drop to twenty nine you expand your mind 

When you drop to thirty you see it was all dirty 

No you drop to thirty two and it occurs to you 

When you hit thirty three now you can see 

That it's all about skill and a love for the art 

Not whose above or whose below in the chart 

You got to look in your heart 

It's there where you start 

I and hip hop are never ever ever apart
