The System Gotcha

[Hook] x2 So if you think you're too old Your thinking that you're too cold You gave up on your true goals The system gotcha I'm giving you a new soul You're never ever too old To manifest your true goals Or the system gotcha [Verse 1] You're never too old to sell a key So how could you be too old to emcee? I'm from where it originated so get me Why would I stop what I created, even at sixty? Shout out to Herc and Cindy Hip hop lifts me and never left me You know where KRS be Right there where the best be When I spit a free I can't help it if that's how God blessed me So I'm never empty, writer's block never tempts me With twenty albums I mastered this evidently So I ask you gently You don't see how to spot me on the block with my classic medley? I can't stop, people won't let me I don't talk sexy, but I do come correctly and you can check me But just don't compare me to the next G KRS-ONE: when you get older you'll respect me [Hook] [Verse 2] I keep it moving all over the country Doing underground spots with the ceiling above me I keep it dark and ugly, microphone crusty We will be here forever; trust me I rock the spots that be dusty and banged out I do house parties, raves and gang hangouts Others took the same route, we didn't take the main route You know who they are, I ain't gotta call they name out They superstars, but in 1986 you ain't know who we are And notice when I said "who we are", as opposed to "who we were" Cause the past and future already occurred, but it was blurred Time reversal symmetry just occurred My being is timeless if the future remembers me And there's no end to me, word! Past and future happen at the same time, especially in the memory We share the same mind. Images of my future telling me the same sign In 1983 who I'd be in '09, but it's past 2011 and I flow fine Rapping at 70? Believe that it's no crime These youngins rent they style, I own mine As you can see, I don't be relying on my old rhymes I'm spitting raw rhymes, right here, right now 25 years, I never put the mic down
