Krs-One - This Is What It Is lyrics

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 realKrs-One - This Is What It Is - http://motolyrics.com/krs-one/this-is-what-it-is-lyrics.html

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
