Freestyle (Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap) Lyrics

I bust gat heat, right here at Fat Beatz
My man Ice-T, that is that heat
We here in LA chillin', KRS always willin', rhymes keep spillin'
I'm off the top, like what, the sun
My name is KRS-One, these stars, you don't see none
When I come out, you see all the day
These other whack rappers, we blow 'em away
Why? 'Cause they don't understand my cycle
I go from tape, CD, back to vinyl
Shh, you cats ain't ready
I take it back to RockSteady and give you a classic medley
Me? I'm not B-E-T or M-T-V, I'm H-I-P H-O-P

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
