Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Question, why is everything you do fresh?
Answer, my name, Blastmaster KRS
Question, you only write reality, why?
Answer, no time to waste, our people are going to die
[Verse 2]
Question, going to die? Please explain this topic
Answer, some people are using ignorance to make a profit
Question, how do we stop it?
Answer, throw 'em in a jail cell and lock it
[Verse 3]
Question, why are people so stupid?
Answer, they got a brain and fail to use it
Question, how did it get like this?
Answer, people are more worried about ass and tits and
[Verse 4]
Little bits of information
The barbarians teach us just to be barbarians in the nation
This new creation
Takes on the manifestation of the Board of Education
[Verse 5]
Question, what's the solution?
Answer, organized revolution
Question, revolution implies killing?
Answer, whether you fight or talk, the blood is still spilling
[Verse 6]
And we're chilling
Thinking of our history as Elmer Fudd
Everything black people got in this country
They got through shedding their blood, word
[Verse 7]
Everything you learned in law school
Can be taught when you're six years old
But they make you wait and wait and wait and wait and wait
And wait and of course, the information is then sold
[Verse 8]
But what if you can't afford to pay?
You walk around ignorant all day
The pimp don't care, it's really your decision
Kick up that money, ho, oh, I mean tuition
[Verse 9]
They be dissin', that ass you be kissin'
Sittin' in a room with a liar and you must listen
Question, who are you dissin'?
Answer, the concept that turns a rapper into a dancer
[Verse 10]
Question, are you really all that fresh?
Answer, yes, yes, yesl
Or, si, to the people speakin' Spanish
You better make use of KRS before he vanish
