Don't worry, people will rock to it So I do it for the ones who could not do it If it's done right, I did it, I run right through it I do it for the ones who might do it Later, or latter, it don't matter do it? I did it once and I'll do it again I got stuck on the way it got done when it was done with a pen I do it for them, I do it to win I get it done like a cooked cornish hen, I could go on again, so do it And I'll prove water is fluid When you step up, the rock is not a bluff, do it Huh, it don't matter if your mind's influenced I think not, cause I do it and y'all dying to do it So, if you do it, do it slow, only do it if you know What you're doing, if you don't, don't abuse it yo How many emcees do it? Too much to count But I do it for the bounce, move it And I'll show you what to move with If you ever question the it that I do get, now you do it! [Hook] [KRS-One] WE MADE IT!
