Boogie Down Productions - Jack of Spades lyrics

Again we start let me say my part About the only guy who has some heart It took some time for the heart to come But it's HERE and everybody's in fear Crashin through the door of that who*e Bringin a end to this gold chain WAR What you saw KRS One is now seeing Another fly human being Making, no excuses for the losers Chain-snatchers, pimps, drug abusers You don't like it but you gotta keep PUSHIN Until somebody starts MUSHIN All these s**ers, claimin to rule the environment (Nah man, I ain't buyin it) You seem to think that everybody can be taught That everyone else can be bought But, you took a short, cause one guy hasn't been paid He is the Jack of Spades! He's a, calm kind of guy, courageous and loyal But don't let the temper boil Cause just like a pot when the whistle blows (That's right boy, anything goes!) The crime is committed and he's right on your tail There's no bail, not thinkin bout jail All the ends, are justified by the means When Jack's on the scene Track the movement, don't lose it Cause if he come through the back, he ATTACKS CRACK, c**aine, cops, and more fiends Who all get the same in the heat of this gold chain GAME Here is the aim Destroy all the stereotypes, hypes, and crack pipes We don't like, criminals, and crime But we don't pay it any mind So here comes Kung-Fu, Joe, and Fly Guy Slade, Hammer, and Slammer I, am a, renegade teacher and scholar If you ain't up on it you GOTTA Fall to the back of the line Hear this rhyme, cause I'ma say it one more time It's JACK'S theme song that KRS made It's called the Jack of Spades! You know, the Jack of Spades is now down with the BDP Posse If you want to see more, just watch me MAN, do what I do, throw your hands in the air And scream it out, ohh yeah "OHH YEAHHH!!" One more time! "OHH YEAHHH!!" (Flash the rhyme!) Cool, guy, loud and quiet If your head's in the way, he'll FLY IT Don't try it, cause Jack of Spades doesn't BUY IT He's a one man riot Cleanin the community, of all it's debris The see-are-I-M-E The road was long and scary and some didn't make it The average guy couldn't take it But JACK, is not, the average guy He took a piece of the pie and BIT IT Got with it, for his brother he DID IT So you gotta admit it This is a martyr, a soldier, a hero WHY? Because he started from zero In this battle he clearly understands their power They're payin people by the hour To sell, to lie, to try, to stand up and deny They are gettin everybody HIGH High on a cable, cash under the table Currency is how they're able To buy the cops and props and keep the law PAID But here comes the Jack of Spades! Break it down!
