The teacher's back, the heat is back Had to chill for a minute so you could see what was whack Rappers enter the game to increase they stack No skill, no style, man please step back This that real real raw raw rah rah rappin We started off street, now you pop, what's happenin?

[KRS-One:] I spit them conscious lyrics, for those that can hear it I'd rather rhyme about the mind and the body and spirit But them cats be too hardheaded, they like "Aww, forget it" 'Til they locked up and they blood is sheddin I really spit conscious rap And when I say "Stop the Violence" how you think we stoppin that~! With a flower, a protest, a rally a band Oh no, I got the baseball bat in my hand Overstand - I'm takin a stand, not takin THE stand I don't disrespect women because I'm a man And some say fe-man You uninformed journalists y'all can talk to the hand! On my block, women get respect and trust Cause when you diss a woman you dissin her fetus And dissin our unborn children will defeat us I'm not an elitist, I just know the world need us And the whole world don't need y'all Y'all just beatmakers, you need to learn from Marley Marl
[KRS in the background:] Go!! [x32]
[Chorus x2]
[KRS-One:] Hold up, hold up, hold up Marley! Hold up
