Lyrics: KRS One. I Am There.

Come in, sit down
Yeah

I have a magical mind, a magical body
Ancient meta physician, you better ax somebody
With one handshake, I can tell if your plan's fake
I am to hip-hop what flour is to pancakes

I write rhymes 'til my hand aches
In the mountains of Colorado, takin' in the landscape
When I'm in the city I can't wait to live again
In the underground hot springs of the Hopi Indians

So you look around your heart and your mind
You will find, I am there
If you're cold and you're broke and there's fog in your scope
Have hope, I am there

Get in tune with me, move with me, boom with me, room with me
Zoom with me, I am there
I can see where you're at, feelin' trapped, can't move, can't act
I was there

And it's quite clear
My hardware was set ahead of most folks by ten years
The hand of God set it, so on earth I speak prophetic
Publishin' papers with no edit

I speak but most don't get it, but the few that do get it
In their minds my words stay embedded
And they blessed if they don't forget it
They'll never need a psychiatrist, a psychic or a medic

Where we headed? To the ultimate state of freedom
That's where I'll lead 'em, if you let it I'll free 'em
Let's set it, for human beings in recreation
Havin' fun, recreatin' themselves into a nation

Hip-hop, it's home could never be a station
Sharin' a space with R&B, stop fakin'
Do you know how much money they makin' offa you and I
Just because hip-hop won't unify?

So look inside your heart or your mind you will find
Every time, I am there
If you're cold and you're broke and there's fog in your scope
Have hope, I am there

Get in tune with me, move with me, groom with me, boom with me
Zoom with me, I am there
I can see where you're at, feelin' trapped, can't move, can't act
I was there
