Freestyle - KRS-One

Funkmaster Flex · Other Songs - Funkmaster Flex

Shut that crap up, you gots no backup

You'll get slapped up, South Bronx holds the map up

Pack up your all wrapped up in my delivery

Act up and it'll take a village like Hillary

Stack up the verbal artillery, I'll take you

Shake-n-Bake you with only one verse straight through

You really don't know me I'm too raw, while your career

goes up and down like a see-saw, I'm by the seashore

Whoever you wanna be, what you lookin at me for?

I'll Rush your Associated Labels like Lyor

I see more so I be more, I free your mental

and G more on these instrumentals

Like Spalding I get the crowd bouncing

You're boring, you're platinum but I'm the one touring

Scoring, right down the bassline SWISH

You'll get dissed and switched like "KISS-FM"

Ain't you tellin it, we clear and intelligent

All that rhetoric you sellin it, it's irrelevant

I rock tenaments, projects and mansions

Before you realize it it's your mind I'm enhancin

Lyrics when you hear rock ALL of y'all

And my production be classic like Marley Marl

Not just a party y'all, it's yardie execu-tion

Out of six million ways to die, you chose THIS one

Kris One, listen my position is accurate

Not a pretty boy I'm Timb's and backpackin it

Skills you're lackin in, timing and rhyming you don't

practice it, your class you skipped now your ass is kicked

I laugh at it, cause we mastered it

a while ago, about 50 dope styles ago

So follow my motto, don't wait for Lotto get your cash

Don't borrow, no skills lead to sorrow

You'll be livin in a bottle

I rhyme like there's no tomorrow.. *Flex scratches it out*
