KRS-One Lyrics

In school they never taught bout hamburgers or steak,
Elijah Muhammed or the welfare state.
But I know.
And I know because of KRS-One.
Yeah and I know, and I know because of KRS-ONE.

Because he's droppin' science,
Droppin' history with a whole leap of style and intelligence
Yes, I know.
I know because of KRS-ONE yeah,
And I know, I know because of KRS-ONE.

Because we don't want to pay money to hear the same old sounds.
Watch him he'll take hip-hop to a higher ground.
And I know (How do I know?)
And I know because of KRS-ONE.
Yeah, and I know, and I know because of KRS-ONE.

And I know
And I know because of KRS-ONE.
And I know and I know

KRS-One

KRS-One is a rapper who was one of the first to infuse social commentary in his songs. He has been cited by Sublime as a major influence on both their ethos and sound: They would take many different genres and mix them together, something KRS-One was known for as well.

This samples two songs from KRS-One's group Boogie Down Productions: "You Must Learn" (which samples "Super Sporm" by Captain Sky) and "The Style You Haven't Done Yet." It also samples "Tough" by Kurtis Blow.
