classic

• kanye west, rakim, nas ve krs one'dan mükemmel bir şarkı. rap'in güzel günlerine bir gönderme...sözleri de şöyledir :
  
  [rakim:]
  is y’all ready for twenty-0-7, it’s now another drought
  everyone’s a killer, wow we buggin out
  since 86 showin the crowd what i’m about
  and they still want to know when the album comin’ out
  ask the teenagers, o’gs and ask the kids
  what they definition of classic is
  timeless, cause age don’t count in the booth
  and your flow stays submerged in the fountain of youth
  and no doubt the truth i’m off the meters
  everybody co-signing even non-believers
  i came in the door, became one of y’alls leaders
  in the fresh pair of air force one sneakers
  uptown we call ‘em uppies when they on divas
  prolly worn when krs one teaches
  nas, made you look, before the haters
  i bet you kan had ‘em on when he walked with jesus
  this is classic
  
  classic, better than i'v ever been
  talent,
  if it’s classic it’s gonna last forever than i’m everywhere you never been and better than i ever been
  classic
  better than i'v ever been
  
  [kanye west:]
  can’t buy this, superflyness, like a shyness, your highness
  it’s performin’, look how long the line is
  that’s what happens when you make shit that’s timeless
  that’s what happens these rappers is the pioneers
  what do it take to be a legend like nas is?
  that’s so novice, i’m so polished, i got a right to be a little bit snobbish
  i did a little bit of college, semesters it took 2 like rob base
  to let me figure out this wasn’t my place, the beat slowed til’ you listened to my pace
  cuz i be killin’ shit, but that’s evident, and y’all feelin’ it, but i expected it
  if it’s classic it’s gonna last forever than i’m everywhere you never been and better than i ever been
  
  classic, better than i'v ever been
  talent,
  if it’s classic it’s gonna last forever than i’m everywhere you never been and better than i ever been
  classic
  better than i'v ever been
  
  [nas:]
  perseverance, see the fake hustler rapper to them it hurts to hear this
  o you went platinum – yeah that’s nice, now let me see you do the same thing twice
  new times, 4 times, then been a couple of more times, please your amateur night is show time
  it’s one life to live so live it the best you can, the world could use one less man
  not enough air, not enough car factories to manufacture new vehicles sedans and vans
  when they do make the whip you like ya chips ain’t right, by the time you could afford it the car ain’t important
  in the streets silent, it’s just i and - cops keep firin’ in my environment
  leavin’ your slum when they drive home far from the hood brothers they eager to jump on
  i like to be the wall that they post up on, i like to see them fall, guilty for doing wrong
  i’m classic like the air ones, the hustler shoe, that’s what i’m accustomed to
  
  classic, better than i'v ever been
  talent,
  if it’s classic it’s gonna last forever than i’m everywhere you never been and better than i ever been
  classic
  better than i'v ever been
  
  [krs one:]
  how many y’all got criminal minded you you you y’all don’t be blinded
  me i got no jewels on my neck, why – i don’t need ‘em i got your respect
  krs 1 20 years i rock i do it for jmj and scott larock – this hip hop
  and we’s a nation, don’t you want to hear more krs on your radio station?
  instead of broadcasting how we smokin’ trees, on the radio we need to hear more local mc’s
  where you at? come on where you at? this is the difference between mc’ing and rap
  rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, mc’s spit rhymes to uplift they people
  peace, love, unity, and havin’ fun, these are the lyrics of krs one
