Where my people that's, over 20 now
Where my people that's, over 30 now
Where my people that's, over 40 now
Classic, that's what they call us now

[KRS-One:]
It's your teacher, [bad word] to my classroom
Who's he, what's that, yo you better ask soon
It's the K to the R to the S One
By now, I think it's real, I'm the best one
Yes son~! I take it to the old school
I spit superrhymes cause "I am so cool..."
... a duel?
You must be fool, player you know [bad word] 
I take it to the old school quick
Get Fresh Crew, Doug E. Fresh, "The Adventures of Slick Rick"
It gets so sick, cause I ain't no joke

Radio listenin down man; you can't say
you was doin it better than we was around man!
We was down for the Rage and we was Against the Machine
Now we turned the page and we the mainstream
Servin the same fiends, but are we on the same team
that was prophesied in Dr. King's dream?
No matter how things seem I stay with the original plan
Teachin our children original man
And who's the "Criminal" clan?
My '86 lyrics then you hear it helped you build a
