Texty: Boogie Down Productions. Gimme Dat.

Right, right, woy, bring it, woy
BDP, woy, BDP, woy, BDP, woy, woy
Now smooth it out, woy, woy, woy, woy
Original, original
Alright, here we go, woy, woy

Hi, hello, whassup, and what?s happenin'?
I am known as the teacher in rappin'
Some need slappin', 'cause what they?re sayin'
Is wack and weak and wait, let me speak, woy

Don?t be the sucker comin' into my face with that, woy
Yang yang, or you?ll be down with the chain gang, woy
Draggin' your feet, to a beat produced by BDP, woy
One of the many, from the library, woy

I teach hip hop for a living
So here?s a smidgen, of what I?m givin'
KRS-One two three four, encore
I?m not a freshman, sophomore, and further more, woy

I graduated from the school of no shorts
To the world of rappin' I brought
That?s it, that?s all, single, no more, no less
That style was created by DJ KRS, woy

Offbeat got you out your seat, woy
When I created the style, they studied every single week, woy
Now you come in my face like you?re rulin'? Woy
But I?m teacher boy, who you foolin'

See there?s no defense against common sense
Confidence, intelligence or excellence
Intense, but here?s the difference
KRS-One does not mean ignorance

Try obediance, magnificence
As a reference, stop the violence
Criminal minded, poetry, and jimmy hats
Is that your title? Gimme dat, woy

Woy, woy, woy
Now let?s take it back a little bit, woy, woy
Spit Fire, home again
Woy, woy
You can?t test BDP boy, woy
So bust this down, woy, woy

While I got your attention I feel like just
Lettin' off two or three lyric then steppin'
Jettin', gettin' the respect of a teacher
My name is Kris, twenty three, glad to meet ya

BDP is the number one set
I don?t drop science, I teach it, correct
Some get caught in my style like a net
They can?t get out, so I treat 'em like a pet

Sit boy, down boy, don?t bite me yet
I bet you?re kind of hungry, here?s a calcan, step
'Cause I?ve got no time to hold your hand
I just slam, so you can understand who I am, woy

The teacher, professor, scholar makin' dollars, woy
The trainer, entertainer, makin' ya holla, woy
The numero uno, number one, the best perfectionist, woy
Crazy, woy, fresh KRS, woy
So gimme dat

Woy, woy, woy
Now take it on back, woy, woy
Original, original, original, hit it
Woy, woy, woy
Original, ah, one, two, three, we out, woy, woy
