5:41Again we start, let me say my part About the only guy who has some heart It took some time for the heart to come but it's here And everybody's in fear Crashing through the door of that whore Bringing an end to this gold chain war What you saw, KRS-One is now seeing Another fly human being Making no excuses for the losers Chain snatchers, pimps, drug abusers You don't like it but you gotta keep pushing Until somebody starts mushing All these suckers claiming to rule the environment (Nah man I ain't buying it) You seem to think that everybody can be taught That everyone else can be bought But you took a short 'Cause one guy hasn't been paid He is the Jack of Spades He's a calm kind of guy, courageous and loyal But don't let the temper boil 'Cause just like a pot when the whistle blows (That's right boy anything goes) The crime is committed and he's right on your tail There's no bail, not thinking 'bout jail All the ends are justified by the means When Jack's on the scene Track the movement, don't lose it 'Cause if he comes from the back he attacks Crack, cocaine, cops that want fame Who all get the same in the heat of this gold chain game Here's the aim Destroy all the stereotypes, hypes and crack pipes We don't like criminals and crime But we don't pay it any mind So here comes Kung Fu Joe and Fly Guy Slay, hammer and slammer I am a renegade teacher and scholar If you ain't up on it you gotta Fall to the back of the line Hear this rhyme 'Cause I'mma say it one more time It's Jack's theme song that KRS made It's called the Jack of Spades Cool guy, loud and quiet If your head's in the way he'll fly it Don't try it 'cause Jack Spade doesn't buy it He's a one man riot Cleaning the community of all its debris The C-R-I-M-E The road was long and scary and some didn't make it The average guy couldn't take it But Jack is not the average guy He took a piece of the pie and bit it Got with it, for his brother he did it So you gotta admit it This is a martyr, a soldier, a hero Why? Because he started from zero In this battle he clearly understands their power They're paying people by the hour To sell, to lie, to try, to stand up and deny They are getting everybody high High on a cable, cash under the table Currency is how they're able To buy the cops and props and keep the law paid But here comes the Jack of Spades Break it down Fresh for Jack Spade, you suckers
