Yo yo brand new KRS why'all Maximum Strength
Introducing the new and powerful KRS-One, representing the maximum strength of the 5 boroughs

5 Boroughs of death we rep to death
We represent and embody the 5 boroughs of New York City to the fullest

Yo Kris set it for The Bronx..
KRS-One is setting the stage and representing The Bronx

We hit em and get em we stick em and jig em
We attack and defeat our opponents, leaving a lasting impact

We pick em and kick em
We choose who we engage with and kick them out

Flippin' them whip and I'm wing clippin' them lip
We're controlling and dominating our opponents, shutting down their words

'Cause I'm cold sick of them
We're tired and fed up with our opponents

Much quicker than them lyrically trickin' and my Tribe
We're much faster and more skilled in our lyrical delivery than our opponents

Be on a Quest like Tip and them
We're on a never-ending journey to excel in our music, just like A Tribe Called Quest

On every avenue puttin' the full clip in em
We're attacking our opponents on all levels and leaving no room for escape

Splittin' and strippin' em down while spittin' a round
We're breaking apart and exposing our opponents while delivering fierce lyrics

Into them sound clash see winni'n them, just beggin' them
We're dominating in sound clashes and leaving our opponents begging for mercy

Get rid of every bit of them with them negative idioms
We're eliminating all traces of negativity from our opponents

I don't even consider them
We don't even acknowledge our opponents

In the new millennium we killin' them
We're dominating and defeating our opponents in the new millennium

Breeze Deep, Kenny and Will and them, KRS-One we thrillin' em
Breeze Deep, Kenny, Will, and KRS-One are thrilling and captivating the audience

Many battles we been in them now we rebuildin' them
We've been through many battles, and now we're rebuilding and rising above

We blaze, fulfillin' them, Keith ?, Jesse, Jamil and them
We're burning and exceeding expectations, with Keith, Jesse, Jamil, and others

We originate styles, other be stealin' them
We're the originators of styles, while others try to copy them

You got a good rise in your rolodex, who flow is
You have connections to talented artists, who will be next in line

Comin out to {fuck} with the best, put it
They're coming to challenge and compete with the best

Inhale it and hold that, blow it out when
Take a deep breath and hold it, exhale when I say let go, let's see

If you can hold your breath, by the time
If you can endure and keep up with me

I flip to the next flow This sho'
As I transition to the next flow, it's a true showcase of skill

is real, this is the deal, guns I'm runnin
This is reality, the truth, and I'm running things

Gotta make it out of town to flip my
I have to leave town to make a profit and keep the momentum going

{shit} and keep it comin Then bring it back
Release more music and bring it back to the streets

with another stack, of raps to blow your
With another collection of rhymes to impress and entertain

Who among you wants to go all out

I keep my loyal friends close, always ready to take action
