[knocking] [KRS-One:] Come in [door opens] sit down Yeah... I have a magical mind, a magical body Ancient metaphysician, you better AX somebody With one handshake, I can tell if your plan's fake I am to hip-hop, what flour is to pancakes I write rhymes 'til my hand aches In the mountains of Colorado, takin in the landscape When I'm in the city I can't wait to live again In the underground hot springs of the Hopi Indians So you look around your heart and your mind You will find, I am there If you're cold and you're broke and there's fog in your scope Have hope, I am there Get in tune with me, move with me, boom with me, room with me Zoom with me, I am there I can see where you're at, feelin trapped, can't move can't act I was there And it's quite clear My hardware was set ahead of most folks by ten years The hand of God set it, so on Earth I speak prophetic Publishin papers with no edit I speak but most don't get it, but the few that do get it In their minds my words stay embedded And they blessed if they don't forget it They'll never need a psychiatrist, a psychic or a medic Where we headed? To the ultimate state of freedom That's where I'll lead 'em, if you let it I'll free 'em Let's set it, for human beings in recreation Havin fun recreatin themselves into a nation Hip-Hop! It's home could never be a station Sharin a space with R&B, stop fakin Do you know how much money they makin offa you and I Just because hip-hop won't unify? So look inside your heart or your mind you will find Everytime, I am there If you're cold and you're broke and there's fog in your scope Have hope! I am there Get in tune with me, move with me, boom with me, room with me Zoom with me, I am there I can see where you're at, feelin trapped, can't move can't act I was there
