Jack Of Spades Lyrics - Ghetto Music: The Blueprint Of Hip Hop (bdp) - Krs One

(One, two, three) 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

(One, two, three) 

Again we start, let me say my part 

About the only guy who has some heart 

It took some time for the heart to come 

But it's here, and everybody's in fear 

Crashing through the door of that whore 

Bringin' a end to this gold chain war 

What you saw, KRS-One is now seeing 

Another fly human being 

Making no excuses for the losers 

Chain snatchers, pimps, drug abusers 

You don't like it but you gotta keep pushing 

Until somebody starts mushin' 

All these suckers, claimin' to rule the environment 

(Nah man, I ain't buyin' it) 

You seem to think that everybody can be taught 

That everyone else can be bought 

But you took a short, 'cause one guy hasn't been paid 

He is the Jack of Spades 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

(One, two, three) 

He's a calm kind of guy, courageous and loyal 

But don't let the temper boil 

Cause just like a pot when the whistle blows 

(That's right boy, anything goes) 

The crime is committed and he's right on your tail 

There's no bail, not thinkin' 'bout jail 

All the ends are justified by the means 

When Jack's on the scene 

Track the movement, don't lose it 

Cause if he come through the back, he attacks 

Crack, cocaine, cops, and more fiends 

Who all get the same in the heat of this gold chain game 

Here is the aim 

Destroy all the stereotypes, hypes, and crack pipes 

We don't like, criminals, and crime 

But we don't pay it any mind 

So here comes Kung Fu Joe, and Fly Guy 

Slade, Hammer, and Slammer 

I am a renegade teacher and scholar 

If you ain't up on it you gotta 

Fall to the back of the line 

Hear this rhyme, cause I'ma say it one more time 

It's Jack's theme song that KRS made 

It's called the Jack of Spades 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

(One, two, three) 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

(One, two, three) 

You know, the Jack of Spades is now down with the BDP posse 

If you wanna see more, just watch me man 

Do what I do, throw your hands in the air 

And scream it out, oh yeah 

(Oh yeah) 

One more time 

(Oh yeah) 

(Flash the rhyme) 

Cool, guy, loud and quiet 

If your head's in the way, he'll fly it 

Don't try it, cause Jack of Spades doesn't buy it 

He's a one man riot 

Cleanin' the community, of all its debris, the C-R-I-M-E 

The road was long and scary and some didn't make it 

The average guy couldn't take it 

But Jack is not the average guy 

He took a piece of the pie and bit it 

Got with it, for his brother he did it 

So you gotta admit it 

This is a martyr, a soldier, a hero 

Why? Because he started from zero 

In this battle he clearly understands their power 

They're payin' people by the hour 

To sell, to lie, to try, to stand up and deny 

They are gettin' everybody high 

High on a cable, cash under the table 

Currency is how they're able 

To buy the cops and props and keep the law paid 

But here comes the Jack of Spades 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

(One, two, three) 

Break it down 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

(One, two, three) 

Jack, Jack, Jack 

(One, two, three) 

Fresh, for Jack of Spades, you suckers 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
