message 2002 lyrics

Uh, ha, uh, ha
Another inebriated beat
You know what time it is
Straight for the street
KRS-One, hold tight, look, look

Crack, don't mess with that
Speed, don't mess with that
It's whack don't mess with that
Greed, don't mess with that

Knowledge yeah, mess with that
God yeah, mess with that
College yeah, mess with that
A job yeah, mess with that

Look, look, dealing don't mess with that
Crying, don't mess with that
Stealing, don't mess with that
Lying, don't mess with that

Meditation, mess with that
Forgiveness, mess with that
Education, mess with that
Hip hop we lovin' that

I rhyme for respect y'all, intellect y'all
Not sex y'all, move that neck y'all, correct y'all
Checks y'all, cash y'all, don't last y'all
With cops y'all to blast y'all, harass y'all

Flash y'all as they pass y'all, through the glass y'all
These videos gas y'all cause they trash y'all
I ask y'all this fact y'all
Unaired y'all, these cops y'all they scared y'all

They fear y'all they hear y'all they hate y'all
Less than 40,000 a week, they make y'all
Cops y'all with black feet, livin' from week to week

Walk crooked beats in the streets y'all
They greet y'all with the heat y'all, to defeat y'all
It's deep y'all, hear what I teach y'all and speak y'all

Hate don't mess with that
Trends, don't mess with that
[Unverified] don't mess with that
Revenge, don't mess with that

Truth yeah, mess with that
Skills yeah, mess with that
Proof yeah, mess with that
Build yeah, mess with that

Wars, don't look for that
Freaking, don't look for that
Whores, don't mess with that
Cheating, don't mess with that

G.E.D. mess with that
Science of mind mess with that
Family, mess with that
Hip hop, we lovin' that

Yeah, yo, aiyyo, yo, who seein' us
With an overdose level of free in us
They bring the heat to us
They don't really want the beat in us, take heed to us

While they plottin' and schemin' to be deletin' us
Best believe in us, they not defeatin' us
Them glocks wanna bust
With twenty-one shots to put the leak in us

So they can bloody the street with us
What does it mean to us?
You know what they need from us
Give cream to us, hide the lies and deceit from us

That doesn't equal us
Who's ready to get in the Jeep with us
Form a fleet with us and take back the street with us
Meet with us, drop bombs in the street with us

Never saw it comin', attack on the sneak with us
Thus, they can't compete with us
We flow through your veins like DJ's
When they cut, you'll be bleedin' us

I came with Kris to heat it up
Showin' my body's the temple
Hip hop is the lock
Now put the key in us

Crack, don't mess with that
Speed, don't mess with that
It's whack don't mess with that
Greed, don't mess with that

Knowledge yeah, mess with that
God yeah, mess with that
College yeah, mess with that
A job yeah, mess with that

Look, look, dealing don't mess with that
Crying, don't mess with that
Stealing, don't mess with that
Lying, don't mess with that

Meditation, mess with that
Forgiveness, mess with that
Education, mess with that
Hip hop we lovin' that

Truth y'all, facts y'all, proof y'all, black y'all
Time to check this map y'all, are we goin' back y'all?
Let's make a pact y'all, come together watch your back y'all
Stay in tact y'all, never whack gimme dap y'all

Comin' at y'all, headcrack y'all with the facts y'all
Police y'all, on the attack y'all if ya black y'all
So if this is fact y'all, when we rap y'all
Over the track y'all, why we rap about crack y'all?

That's whack y'all, we trapped y'all
Holdin' the gat y'all just to kill another black y'all
Clak, clak, clak y'all, it's like that y'all
KRS-One yo, let's take it back y'all, listen

Hate don't mess with that
Trends, don't mess with that
[Unverified] don't mess with that
Revenge, don't mess with that

Truth yeah, mess with that
Skills yeah, mess with that
Proof yeah, mess with that
Build yeah, mess with that

Wars, don't look for that
Freaking, don't look for that
Whores, don't mess with that
Cheating, don't mess with that

G.E.D. mess with that
Science of mind mess with that
Family, mess with that
Hip hop, we lovin' that
