Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah yeah, that's whatcha say when you take the devil's crown
Ah yeah, stay alive all things will change around
Ah yeah, what? Ah yeah!
So here I go kickin science in ninety-five
I be illin, parental discretion is advised still
Don't call me nigga, this MC goes for his
Roamin through the forest as the hardest lyrical artist
Black women you are not a bitch you're a Goddess
Let it be known, you can lean on KRS-One
Like a wall cause I'm hard, I represent GOD
Wack MC's have only one style: gun buck
