Survival Skills Buckshot (Ft. KRS-One)

{DJ Revolution cuts and scratches}
(SKILLS!)
"Microphones are not for these emcees who don't have no"
"Survival!" "SKILLS!"

[Hook 2X: Buckshot]
See what I've been through, see what I go through
If I don't look at you, it's cause I don't know you
Know where to go to, know where to hide
What does it take, nowadays to survive

[Verse 1 - KRS-ONE]
Small-time rappers aren't as dope as us
When you hear rappers in the club, you hope it's us
Back in the days, they used to smoke the dust
But cats kept jumping off the roof too much
So today we don't abuse the Dutch
We use our minds to write rhymes that you can touch
My feet stay planted on the ground
You want that soft pop shit, you better book another sound
We gets down, I know the streets
Y'all rappers got maps out, looking all around
Huh! Y'all want the crown, but why should I battle you
If next week they're gonna put you in the ground?
That's a waste of time; I'd rather blaze a rhyme
On someone tryin to raise they mind

Yo Buck, what the fuck they gon' say?
