[KRS One]

Come again down man

This is KRS One on to wreck RUFF RUFF RUFF stuff

So we're gonna do it like this now

Put up your hands if you love hip hop music like I do seen?

And we gonna do it like this now

Listen to the lyrics! Bo!

Me say hip hop rule hip hop rule

And these other industries out here cannot take it come again!

Hip hop rule hip hop rule

And these other industries out here cannot take it, we want!

Rap music, we want the rap music, bo!

Rap music, we want the rap music, come again!

Rap music, we want the rap music, bo!

Rap music, we want the rap music

Way back in the days, 1979

Fatback Band made a record usin rhyme

In the same year come the Sugarhill Gang

with the pow pow boogie, and the big bang bang

R&B, Disco, Pop Country Jazz

all thought Hip-Hop, was just a little fad

But here comes Grandmaster Flash nonstop

And right after Flash, Run-D.M.C. dropped

Now, they had to pay attention to the scale

Where other music failed, hip-hop prevailed

See rap music has gone platinum from the start

So now in eighty-nine we gettin present as an art

Me ask, is it because, we've got the eighty-nine vision?

Whoa whoa whoa!

Or is it because, it's a unanimous decision

Hey hey hey hey

that hip-hop rule, hip-hop rule

And these other industries out here cannot take it, come again!

Hip-hop rule, hip-hop rule

And these other industries out here cannot take it, we want!

Rap music, we want the rap music, bo!

Rap music, we want the rap music, come again!

Rap music, we want the rap music, come down!

Rap music, we want the rap music

I pick up the mic and put down crazy lyrics
