Classic (feat. Nas, KRS One & Rakim)

Is y'all ready for Twenty-0-7, it's now another drought

Anybody's a killer, wow we buggin' out

Since 86 showin' the crowd what I'm about

And they still want to know when the album comin' out

Ask the teenagers, O'Gs and Ask the kids

What they definition of Classic is

Timeless, cause age don't count in the booth

And your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth

And no doubt the truth I'm off the meters

Everybody co-signing even non-believers

I came in the door, became one of y'alls leaders

In the fresh pair of Air Force One sneakers

Uptown we call 'em uppies when they on divas

Prolly worn when KRS One teaches

Nas, made you look, before the haters

I bet you Kan had 'em on when he walked with Jesus

This is classic

Classic, better than I've ever been

Timeless

I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been

Classic

Better than I'v ever been

Can't buy this, superflyness, like a shyness, your highness

It's performin', look how long the line is

That's what happens when you make shit that's timeless

That's what happens these rappers is the pioneers

What do it take to be a legend like Nas is

That's so novice, I'm so polished, I got a right to be a little bit snobbish

I did a little bit of college, semesters it took 2 like Rob Base

To let me figure out this wasn't my place

The beat slowed till' you listened to my pace

'cause I be killin' shit, but that's evident, and y'all feelin' it, but I expected it

If it's classic it's gonna last forever than

I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been

Classic, better than I'v ever been

Timeless

I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been

Classic

Better than I'v ever been

Perseverance, see the fake hustler rapper to them it hurts to hear this

O you went platinum, yeah that's nice, now let me see you do the same thing twice

New times, 4 times, then been a couple of more times

Please your amateur night is show time

It's one life to live so live it the best you can, the world could use one less man

Not enough air

Not enough car factories to manufacture new vehicles sedans and vans

When they do make the whip you like ya chips ain't right

By the time you could afford it the car ain't important

In the streets silent, it's just I and, cops keep firin' in my environment

Leavin' your slum

When they drive home far from the hood brothers they eager to jump on

I like to be the wall that they toast up on

I like to see them fall, guilty for doing wrong

I'm classic like the Air Ones, the Hustler shoe, that's what I'm accustomed to

Classic, better than I'v ever been

Timeless

I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been

Classic

Better than I'v ever been

How many y'all got criminal minded you you you y'all don't be blinded

Me I got no jewels on my neck, why, I don't need 'em I got your respect

KRS 1 20 years I rock I do it for JMJ and Scott LaRock, this hip hop

And we's a nation, don't you want to hear more KRS on your radio station?

Instead of broadcasting how we smokin' trees

On the radio we need to hear more local MC's

Where you at? Come on where you at?

This is the difference between MC'ing and rap

Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, MC's spit rhymes to uplift they people

Peace, love, unity, and Havin' fun, these are the lyrics of KRS One

Classic, better than I'v ever been

Timeless

I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been

Classic

Better than I'v ever been
