Message 2002 Lyrics - The Mix Tape - Krs One

Uh, ha, uh, ha 

Another inebriated beat 

You know what time it is 

Straight for the street 

KRS-One, hold tight, look, look 

Crack, don't mess with that 

Speed, don't mess with that 

It's whack don't mess with that 

Greed, don't mess with that 

Knowledge yeah, mess with that 

God yeah, mess with that 

College yeah, mess with that 

A job yeah, mess with that 

Look, look, dealing don't mess with that 

Crying, don't mess with that 

Stealing, don't mess with that 

Lying, don't mess with that 

Meditation, mess with that 

Forgiveness, mess with that 

Education, mess with that 

Hip hop we lovin' that 

I rhyme for respect y'all, intellect y'all 

Not sex y'all, move that neck y'all, correct y'all 

Checks y'all, cash y'all, don't last y'all 

With cops y'all to blast y'all, harass y'all 

Flash y'all as they pass y'all, through the glass y'all 

These videos gas y'all cause they trash y'all 

I ask y'all this fact y'all 

Unaired y'all, these cops y'all they scared y'all 

They fear y'all they hear y'all they hate y'all 

Less than 40,000 a week, they make y'all 

Cops y'all with black feet, livin' from week to week 

Walk crooked beats in the streets y'all 

They greet y'all with the heat y'all, to defeat y'all 

It's deep y'all, hear what I teach y'all and speak y'all 

Hate don't mess with that 

Trends, don't mess with that 

[Unverified] don't mess with that 

Revenge, don't mess with that 

Truth yeah, mess with that 

Skills yeah, mess with that 

Proof yeah, mess with that 

Build yeah, mess with that 

Wars, don't look for that 

Freaking, don't look for that 

Whores, don't mess with that 

Cheating, don't mess with that 

G.E.D. mess with that 

Science of mind mess with that 

Family, mess with that 

Hip hop, we lovin' that 

Yeah, yo, aiyyo, yo, who seein' us 

With an overdose level of free in us 

They bring the heat to us 

They don't really want the beat in us, take heed to us 

While they plottin' and schemin' to be deletin' us 

Best believe in us, they not defeatin' us 

Them glocks wanna bust 

With twenty-one shots to put the leak in us 

So they can bloody the street with us 

What does it mean to us? 

You know what they need from us 

Give cream to us, hide the lies and deceit from us 

That doesn't equal us 

Who's ready to get in the Jeep with us 

Form a fleet with us and take back the street with us 

Meet with us, drop bombs in the street with us 

Never saw it comin', attack on the sneak with us 

Thus, they can't compete with us 

We flow through your veins like DJ's 

When they cut, you'll be bleedin' us 

I came with Kris to heat it up 

Showin' my body's the temple 

Hip hop is the lock 

Now put the key in us 

Crack, don't mess with that 

Speed, don't mess with that 

It's whack don't mess with that 

Greed, don't mess with that 

Knowledge yeah, mess with that 

God yeah, mess with that 

College yeah, mess with that 

A job yeah, mess with that 

Look, look, dealing don't mess with that 

Crying, don't mess with that 

Stealing, don't mess with that 

Lying, don't mess with that 

Meditation, mess with that 

Forgiveness, mess with that 

Education, mess with that 

Hip hop we lovin' that 

Truth y'all, facts y'all, proof y'all, black y'all 

Time to check this map y'all, are we goin' back y'all? 

Let's make a pact y'all, come together watch your back y'all 

Stay in tact y'all, never whack gimme dap y'all 

Comin' at y'all, headcrack y'all with the facts y'all 

Police y'all, on the attack y'all if ya black y'all 

So if this is fact y'all, when we rap y'all 

Over the track y'all, why we rap about crack y'all? 

That's whack y'all, we trapped y'all 

Holdin' the gat y'all just to kill another black y'all 

Clak, clak, clak y'all, it's like that y'all 

KRS-One yo, let's take it back y'all, listen 

Hate don't mess with that 

Trends, don't mess with that
