What It Is Lyrics - The Bdp Album - Krs One

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you 

This is what it is 

We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop 

This is what it is 

 

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you 

This is what it is 

We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop 

This is what it is 

 

A man once said that the streets are watchin' us 

If this be the truth we must keep hip-hop in us 

They'll never topple us, you done heard them thugs 

Now, it's time to hear from the philosophers 

 

Buildings fallin', employment stallin' us 

Now, it's time, the future is callin' us 

Television is boring us, radio is whorin' us 

Lurin' us with a chorus plus, you can't even trust 

 

The church, the synagogue, they all deceivin' us 

It's time to believe in us 

To believe in a hip-hop lifestyle that agrees with us 

No squeeze or bust, bo, bo, you find ease with us 

 

The DJ's, the MC's is us 

The ice we've seen enough 

It's time for hip-hop and this is what it is 

 

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you 

This is what it is 

We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop 

This is what it is 

 

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you 

This is what it is 

We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop 

This is what it is 

 

You know we lead a movement 

It's called 'I am hip-hop' 

Cats debate about it, but I am hip-hop 

Cats wanna talk about but I am hip-hop 

 

My cats in New York like "I am hip-hop" 

My cats in Atlanta like "I am hip-hop" 

Cats in Miami like "I am hip-hop" 

Chi-Town like "I am hip-hop" 

All over L.A., "I am hip-hop" 

 

Keep the rawness, the gutter the real 

The movement's growin' like corn in the field 

KRS-One was born with the steel 

I'm on top of my game like Shaquille O'Neal 

 

No surprises, hip-hop come in all sizes 

Now, watch as KRS rises up, up, up, up and away 

Now, you critics mouth shut, got nothin' to say 

And that's good for the kids, 'cause hip-hop 

This is what it is 

 

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you 

This is what it is 

We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop 

This is what it is 

 

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you 

This is what it is 

We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop 

This is what it is 

 

Stay focused, focused 

Stay focused oh, oh 

Yeah, uh-huh, focused 

Yo, look, look, this is what it is 

 

y'all need to stop confusin' the kids 

Makin' 'em think you gotta do a bid to be hip-hop 

Man that ain't it 

Rob a nigga, kill a nigga, man that ain't shit 

 

How you figure, how murder make you hip? 

You need to hop to the bookstore and look for Kris 

Anything by KRS-One 

Will lead you to peace, to love, to unity and havin' fun 

 

y'all know but some of y'all don't 

And some of y'all won't that's why only some of y'all dope 

The rest of y'all, food for the Gods 

I eat everything but Pop's 'cause I don't eat lard 

 

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you 

This is what it is 

We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop 

This is what it is 

 

We keep showin' you and showin' you and showin' you 

This is what it is 

We gon' flow with you, you know it's true, hip-hop 

This is what it is, is
