[Intro]

Ladies and gentlemen

Its time to kick ass

Yeah

Same shit

Yeah

Same shit

Wake up

[Verse 1]

Listen

Terrorists and governments play the same game

Banks and big business take the same blame

Open your brain

The Klan and the cops are the same

Slave quarters, blocks, and prison blocks are the same

They only separated by name

Overrated by fame

What's in a name?

Our colonists is the same

People can't really see it

Because they're blocked by the name

But really Nazi Germany and your black is the same

Look

Wall Street and Main Street

Really that's the same street

Drug talk, corporate talk

Really that's the same speak

Boom bap, boom bip

Really that's the same beat

A throne or a chair in your home

Really that's the same seat

I wrote and recorded this album in the same week

California and Barcelona

Its got the same heat

I walk the same street

Put no trust in the game

Good cop, bad cop

They one and the same

Same shit

[Bridge]

You know

Listen

[Verse 2]

Rapper and politicians they want the same thing

To kneel before their master and kiss the same ring

But Solomon and Selassi them are the same king

So from (?) I spit the same swing

Ding ding ding, there goes the bell

I'm the same as heaven, these dudes the same as hell

I'm the same as the plane at liftoff, fly

They the same as a rip-off, a lie

I remind you

Don't let the criminal mind blind you

Instead let the spiritual mind find you

See I'm you

Just twenty years ahead

Its to your advantage to hear KRS-ONE and rewind what he said

Its the same shit

[Bridge]

Its the same shit

Look

[Verse 3]

Drug cartels is what sells the medical

Drug spots and drug stores are identical

Y'all need to wake up and join with the woke folk

Ignorance is only gonna keep you with them broke folk

KRS is on some cool shit

I ain't nothing to fool with

I teach more kids than the school gets

Game over, stupid

Its like we at the eight ball corner pocket

And I got the pool stick

You can say whatever, me I'm living better and better

Getting cheddar, out in Greece getting the feta

Up in Catalonia only eating paella

Up in Italy getting bread, call it bruscetta

I spit

They cruise cars, I cruise ships

Democrat and Republican, that's the same shit

Its the same shit
