Build and Destroy - Boogie Down Productions

Yeah whoo aiyyo will

Whassup kenny

I got a serious problem man

What's the problem

Yo after all these years of ripping sh*t

These suckers still try to front

But check this out we've been on tour

With everybody so

I don't know why they fronting

Everybody

Y'all be in every party

I be in every jam

I see they faces and they

Look at me and front

They come to every

Show and know we

Break sh*t up all the time

You know what

Yo kris what's your opinion

Yo I love the way I am and can't

Nobody out here change me

Rearrange me tame me

Try to game me

You don't play me

When I grab the mic then

Shock the party spot

Your rhymes are flip flop

I'll rock hip-hop

Non-stop me nah stop rock

You can touch this

But you'll get shot

Now what's this all about

Kris and humanity

In my face you're happy

On vinyl you're mad at me

Yo problackness is your solution

But I don't really know

About that style you using yo

Too many teachers in the

Class spoil the class school

After awhile you got blabbering f**king fools

That's worse than always talking about sex

Let's build

It ain't enough to study clarence

The white man ain't the devil I promise

You want to see the devil take

A look at clarence thomas

Now you're saying who

Like you a owl

Throw in the towel

The devil is colin powell

You talk about being african and being black

Colin powell's black

But libya he'll attack

Libya's in africa but a black man

Will lead a black man

To fight against his homeland

An accomplice to the devil is a devil too

The devil is anti human

Who the hell are you

I lecture and rap without rehearsal

I manifest as a black man but I'm universal

The capitalk small ris

Capital psmall ar capital ksmall er

We are the star

Without the use of a car we go far

I build and destroy

Yeah kris

Serve 'em man serve 'em

Yo why're they so jealous of bdp

I don't know will

You don't get mad

Get fresh man

Word

Don't ever try to challenge bdp

Man just shut the f**k up and listen

This sh*t is crazy

Your remarks don't faze me

People have a problem with me

'Cause I ain't lazy

I talk on vinyl then I act

What have you done

Besides critique krsone

I create organizations

Without organization

There'll be no black nation

What the f**k are you really saying

You ain't a human while your

Music's boomin anti human

I'm assumin if you ain't human you're a beast

The white man could be the devil

All the day that's the least

What are you doing for yourself black man

Trying hard to be the original man who

The first man with the first tan

On the first land

With the first clan

Who gives a damn

In history krs is well advised

But it's something that my

Brain won't memorize

I don't base my whole life on memory

I base my life on my spirit

And body chemistry

Africa is the home of humanity

Which makes the african

A humanist challenge me

You gotta learn not to be so concerned

With the original man

And see the criminal man yeah

The now man with the now plan

With the now tan

With the right now genocide master plan

Damn we gotta think about stopping this

God is not any black man on the land

God is conciousness

When you understand this you'll see kris

Until then you can get dissed

I'm not your prophet messiah

Minister or savior

Chill with that I'll behavior

I zero in like a laser

You're cutting your wrists with a razor

I got all type of flavors

Yes I am the original teacher

You gotta study the qu'ran

Torah bahavaghita

The bible five baskets of buddha zen

And when you've read them shits

Read them shits again

But watch what you're repeating

If you don't know the history of the author

You don't know what you're reading

Yeah I'm still the original

Leaving mc's lyrically miserable

Their criminal syllables are minimal

Show me respect boy

'Cause I build and destroy

Now after all that

If anybody out there still got beef

Check it out

We rip the lecture tours

We rip the beats

We rip the jams

We'll straight up rip that a**

Knowhati'msayin will

Word

Yeah it seems they all forgot

On the mic you'll get f**ked up

In the clubs you'll get f**ked up

Anywhere bronx brooklyn queens manhattan

Jersey japan staten isle

Yo anywhere you'll get f**ked up

Don't you know we live for the battle

I'm outta here

Yo cut that beat off
