KRS-One
From the Woods (feat. KRS-One) [Remix]
Worldwide what's good
We're bumping hip-hop
From the the city to the woods
From the street corner
To your rural neighborhood
It's a way of life man this is understood
But we know where it started at

I'm the living almanac
The teacher they call me that
Breaking mcee-ing graffiti and DJ-ing
Beatboxing fashion and language
And knowledge and trading I'm all of that
Whackest of rappers are falling flat
So I called up Whalan he called me back
He asked me to come up with all the facts
So I'ma get down where the water at?
Up in the woods puffing the good
Spitting and living the way that I should
Eating the minerals spitting the spiritual
Big up to Zin Uru all in the hood
Culture let me indulge ya
No kidding I'm here to adult ya
Spitting the facts mcee-ing on rap
I'm bringing it back the way I'm supposed to
Trees talking the breeze walking
Mcees are often hip-hop
1520 Sedgwick the boom bap started on this block
So what's a color what's a race?
What's the other what's a face?
When it's time to spit the raw
For sure you better rep your space
Hip-hop demands no less
Wherever you are be the best
Suburban swerving rural urban
Grab the mic and beat your chest
No need to stress east to west
Hip-hop it turns the lights on
Yo Jackson Whalan turn your mic on
Worldwide what's good
We're bumping hip-hop
To the city from the woods
From the top of the mountain
To your local neighborhood
It's a way of life man this is understood
But we know where at started at

From pit bulls to poodles from urban to rural
I battle and duel I'm blowing their bugle
Cuz some are not used to the way I refuse to
Sell out to the coo-coo the way they abuse you
This is the teacher man open your pupils
Steaming hot baking your noodle
If you don't know you can check me on Google
Yo Whalan do you

Yo I'm from where the forests at
Collab-Ing with the God of rap
With farmers and the tourists
In the barn where I'm performing at
Forget the second home owning corporate cats
Hip-hop I'm out here forging that
Coming from the 413
Then into the city and forth and back
Backwoods material
Link with the legend we're making a miracle
Out of the box and we're making it spherical
Teachers curriculum this is the peer review
I'm Gandalf in the shire headed to Mordor
Then it's back to nature
Contemplating all of the greats who came before
It's that hip-hop folklore
While whack mcees are waging a war
Cuz being fake could pay you some more
But that's not what we're doing this for
Forget what's trending never pretending
I'm here to be a leader
With blast master KRS-One up in your speaker
From the clubs to big arenas
For teachers and truth seekers
From the dopest fans who feeding us
Right down to non-believers
For the activists fighting these warlords
Who trying to cheat us
Freeing your mind and leading the blind
With words that leave you speechless
Worldwide what's good
We're bumping hip-hop
To the city from the woods
From the top of the mountain
To your local neighborhood
It's a way of life man this is understood
But we know where at started at
What's good
We're bumping hip-hop
From the the city to the woods
From the street corner
To your rural neighborhood
It's a way of life man this is understood
But we know where it started at
