How Not to Get Jerked Boogie Down Productions

"And now, a word from our sponsor.."

[Verse 1: KRS-One]
Now technically speakin I ain't 'sposed to be doin this
Like givin information to the ones that are new to this
You wanna make a record and get into the business?
Here's a little plan from a six-year witness
First you gotta understand the music game
It's not about fame, it's about a rich name
And who you're down with and who you clown with
But most of all, you got to have a gift ("it's like that")
Either music or the fresh lyrics
Or a vibe; people like to buy your spirit
Everybody knows KRS-One is dope
To really see it, you gotta use a telescope, hah!
There's no hope when you're shopping for a deal
Either sex appeal, or the hard street feel
But if you don't have a lawyer you're a goner!
Don't even think about chilling in a sauna
You need a lawyer and a good manager
Without this, the record companies won't be having ya
So I'm grabbing ya now and showing ya how
Not to get jerked when you do hard work!

"It's like that y'all" *16X*
"Jump on it!" *4X*
"One, two, three, WHOO!"
