Intro: (sung by KRS One to the tune of the Beatles "Let It Be") 
Boogie Down Productions will always get paid 
We'll take the wackest song and make it better 
Remember to let us into your skin 
Cause then you'll begin  to master 
Rhymin rhymin rhymin 
Verse One: KRS One 
Criminal minded  you've been blinded 
Lookin for a style like mine you can't find it 
They are the audience  I am the lyricist 
Sometimes the suckas on the side gotta hear this 
Page, a rage, and I'm not in a cage 
Free as a bird to fly up out on stage 
Ain't here for no frontin just to say a little somethin 
Ya suckaz don't like me cause you're all about nothin 
However, I'm really fascinating to the letter 
My all-around performance gets better and better 
My English grammar comes down like a hammer 
You need a style, I need to pull your file 
I don't beg favors, you're kissing other people's --- 
I write and produce myself just as fast 
Keep my hair like this, got no time for Jheri curls 
Attractin only women, got no time for little girls 
[KRS sings again] Cause girls look so good 
but their brain is not ready, I don't know 
I'd rather talk to a woman 
cause her mind is so steady, so here we go 
I'm not a musical maniac or b-boy fanatic 
I simply made use of what was upstairs in the attic 
I've listened to these MC's back when I was a kid 
But I bust more shots than they ever did 
I mean this is not the best of KRS, it's just a section 
But how many times must I point you in the right direction 
You need protection, when I'm on the mic 
Because my mouth is like a 9 millimeter windpipe 
You're a king, I'm a teacher 
You're a b-boy, I'm a scholar 
If this was a class, well it would go right under drama 
See kings lose crowns but teachers stay intelligent 
Talkin big words on the mic but still irrelevant 
Especially when you're not, college material 
Wake up every morning to your Lucky Charms cereal 
DJ Scott LaRock has a college degree 
Blastmaster KRS writes poetry 
I won't go deeper in the subject cause that gets me bored 
It's a shame to know some MC's on the mic are fraud 
Sayin styles like this to create a diss 
But if you listen, who you dissin? 
See I am a musician 
Rappin on the mic like this to me is fine 
Cause if I really want to battle I will put out a nine 
You can see that Scott LaRock and I are mentally binded 
In other words we're both Criminal Minded 
Verse Two: KRS-One 
We're not promoting violence, we're just havin some fun 
He's Scott LaRock, I'm KRS-One 
Never off-beat cause it don't make sense 
Grab the microphone, relaxed and not tense 
You waited, debated, and now you activated 
A musical genius that could not be duplicated 
See I have the formula for rockin the house 
If you cannot rock a party do not open your mouth 
It's that simple, no phony cosmetics to your pimple 
Take another look because the gear is not wrinkled 
The K, the R, the S, the O, the N, the E 
Sayin rhyme for eighty-seven not from 1983 
Well versed, to rehearse, and my rhymes are my curse 
Originality come first but the suckers get worse 
Allow me to include I have a very stable mood 
Poetic education of a high altitude 
I'm not an MC, so listen, call me poet or musician 
A genius when it comes to making music with ambition 
I'm cool, collected with the rhyme I directed 
Don't wanna be elected as the king of a record 
Just respected by others as the man with the solution 
An artist of the 80's came and left his contribution 
on wax, relax, there's 24 tracks 
After years of rocking parties now I picked up the knack 
Because everything that flows from out my larynx 
Takes years of experience and bottles of Beck's 
I cannot seem to recollect the time I didn't have sex 
Is it real or is it Memorex? 
I'm livin in a city known as New York State 
Sucka MC's gotta wait while I translate 
I hang with real live dreads with knowledge in their heads 
People with ambition and straight up musicians 
Although our lives have been so uprooted 
I have it included, you all get zooted 
So take each letter of the KRS-One 
Means Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone 
You look at me and laugh, but this is your class 
It's an all-out discussion of the suckas I be crushin 
So now you are awakened to the music I be makin 
Never duplicated, and also highly cultivated 
Don't get frustrated cause nothin has been traded 
Only activated, it came out very complicated 
Not separated, from my DJ 
You see my voice is now faded 
I'll see you folks around the way 
Criminal minded...
