Party Together

Yo! Yes Live from New York City Blastmaster KRS-One of the massive BDP crew And we gonna do a little somethin like THIS! Once again I flash a style That you are probably thinkin that it's about time The reggae scene and rap music must cross the line And party (together) You might think I'm not for yard But that just makes this whole routine a little odd Cause mixin rap with reggae music is not that hard We must come (together) This nonsense of rap being different from reggae is a big (lie) Black people shouldn't separate themselves in music, no reason (why) Yes, my name is KRS And I have come to tell you that I'm funky fresh And Sly & Robbie simply is the nation's best We must come (together) Boogie Down Productions on the funky fresh lyric Sly and also Robbie on the radical music We can break down any system, and we break them very quick I am teachin lyrics, Sly & Robbie on the mix So what do you do when we're comin to your town? Run, get your tape recorder, tape the newest sound It's just hip-hop-reggae-reggae-reggae-reggae-rap Done by the crew, which is ready to attack So Once again I flash a style That you are probably thinkin that it's about time The reggae scene and rap music must cross the line And party (together) Boogie Down Productions, or the mighty BDP Radiatin knowledge to a poor community You can take this for a joke, or you can take this seriously Hip-hop reggae takin over constantly It's drums and bass, and conscious lyrics Dibby-dibby sound bwoy, we just can't take it A lot of crews come out, and dem want to try it But KRS-One only produce the hits Whaddaya call that, hi-hi-hit, hit-hit-hit Nuff gun man, .45, just a clip (Bo!
