Boogie Down Productions will always get paid
We'll take the wackest song and make it better
Remember to let us into your skin
Cause then you'll begin, to master
Rhymin' rhymin' rhymin'

from Boogie Down Productions – Criminal Minded Lyrics on Rap Genius

For the intro KRS flips the melody and some of the lyrics from “Hey Jude”, written by Paul McCartney and performed by the Beatles.

This is the first of several KRS homages to McCartney songs. Also see his interpolations of “Let ‘Em In” (on Jimmy) and “Ebony and Ivory” (on 100 Guns)
