Is y'all ready for Twenty 0 7, it's now another drought
Everyone'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 cl***ic 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'all's leader
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 cl***ic

Cl***ic, better than I've ever been
Talent, if it's cl***ic it's gonna last forever
Then I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been
Cl***ic, better than I've 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 **** 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 two like Rob Base
To let me figure out this wasn't my place
The beat slowed til' you listened to my pace

'Cuz I be killin' ****
But that's evident and y'all feelin' it but I expected it
If it's cl***ic it's gonna last forever
Then I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been

Cl***ic, better than I've ever been
Talent, if it's cl***ic it's gonna last forever
Then I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been
Cl***ic, better than I've ever been

Perseverance see the fake ******* 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, four 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 post up on
I like to see them fall, guilty for doing wrong
I'm cl***ic like the Air Ones, the ******* shoe
That's what I'm accustomed to

Cl***ic, better than I've ever been
Talent, if it's cl***ic it's gonna last forever
Then I'm everywhere you never been and better than I ever been
Cl***ic, better than I've 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-One, twenty 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 their people
Peace, love, unity, and havin' fun
These are the lyrics of KRS-One
