Rhymin' Skills

[INTRO: KRS-One]

Come now

Yes

Now everyone comes in and says that they are

The lyrical champion

But of course there is only a few

That can really stand by that

Come now

[CHORUS]

Rhymin skill, rhymin skills (bo!)

Yes, D-Nice, you got the rhymin skills (come now)

Rhymin skill, rhymin skills (bo!)

Yes, D-Nice, you got the rhyme

[VERSE 1]

The TR 808, and I cultivate with this trait

Nobody can imitate or relate, cause I'm the great (say what?)

Here's your fate, put your weight down on it

And if you try to step to me, I make you pay down pon it (bo!)

Cause I'm the one, and some compare me to the drum

The lyrics and bass combined will make your sound system hum

So when I come you should bow down greatfully

Cause even if you're protected, ya can't face the D

Cause the microphone is just a crumb in your possession

Considerin that I take the cake in this profession

So here's a lesson on the bass with smooth deliverance

And it's called the 'TR 808 experience'

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 2]

There's no mistakin, there's not another brother great when

I step in the place, step out my face with the haste, and

Cause I'm the TR 808, and

Rippin the mic up, in other words you know I'm breakin

New grounds with my sounds, so don't consider

Tryin me (say what?) cause I don't pop the glitter

On my gear, no, not even a tiny bit

I'm Nice, not Ice, so I don't rock the shiny shit

I rock my Nikes instead when I strut (say what?)

I may rock a ring when I feel, but so what?

My rhymes are sharp, so they cut

You're on my tip so much, I mistake you for my cup

Yeah

Right about know I want all y'all suckers to know this is real

(Yes, D-Nice, you got the rhymin skills)

So anyone who cannot go with the flow that I throw

I get the dough, and oh - now you know

I got the

[CHORUS]

[OUTRO: KRS-One]

Ease up and hold tight

All Brooklyn massive

All Bronx massive

All Uptown crew

Just sekkle

The mighty D-Nice come down ruff and wicked

Pop this in your cassette

The Don [Name] must rule everytime, seen?

Rhymin skill, say rhymin skill - come!

Yes, D-Nice, you have di rhymin skills - come now!

Rhymin skill, say rhymin skill - bo!

Yes, D-Nice, you have di rhymin skills - bo!

No peace till justice

We outta here
