KRS-One - 5 Boroughs Lyrics
Yo yo brand new KRS y'all, Maximum Strength
5 Boroughs of death we rep to death
Yo Kris, set it for The Bronx..
[KRS-One]
we pick em and kick em
Flippin them whip and I'm wing-clippin them lip
cause I'm cold sick of them
Much quicker than them lyrically trickin and my Tribe
be on a Quest like Tip and them
On every avenue puttin the full clip in em
Splittin and strippin em down while spittin a round
into them soundclash see winnin them, just begginin them
Get rid of ev-ery bit of them with them negative idioms
I don't even consider them
Breeze Deep, Kenny and Will and them, KRS-One we thrillin em
Many battles we been in them now we rebuildin them
We blaze, fulfillin them, Keith [?], Jesse, Jamil and them
We originate styles, other be stealin them
[Vigilante]
You got a good rise in your rolodex, who flow is next?
Comin out to {fuck} with the best, put it in your chest
Inhale it and hold that, blow it out when I say let go; let's see
if you can hold your breath, by the time I flip to the next flow
This sho' is real, this is the deal, guns I'm runnin
Gotta make it out of town to flip my {shit} and keep it comin
Then bring it back, with another stack, of raps to blow your back out
How many of y'all wanna go for yours I keep my dogs in the crackhouse
[Buckshot]
Let's take a walk through Crown Heights
Steppin through the city at night, with the [?] and two mic
Form a little lynch mob, and stomp through the five boroughs
Head back to Brooklyn in the Expo
Back on the block, I see the cops everybody clockin
Buckshot, when you see the rocks, me I got you shocked
Why not? You see the recipe
Buckshot, I represent Brooklyn and my {nigga} Biggie
[Keith Murray]
I'm from C-I, L-I, F-L-Y
Where the {niggaz} and the {bitches} stay paid fly and high
Where a slut'll get mad if you call her a {bitch}
And a rat'll get mad if you call her a snitch
Where the rich emerge, with the {niggaz} from the ditch
And it's a myth, they get {niggaz} from the suburbs, that's herbs
Yo this is for my {niggaz} on the block all day
Who don't give a {fuck} waitin for crime to pay
Put your money on it, yo we never fronted
Long Island got some of the best {niggaz} that ever done it
From Riverhead to C.I. to Brentwood to Wyndanch
{Niggaz} comin through will not stand a chance
From Roosevelt to Freeport to Hempstead to Uniondale
Comin deep from the depths of hell
I'm dead serious, even though you see me smilin
Rough enough to break New York from Long Island
[Cam'Ron]
We destroy {niggaz}, need advice, cause I heard em sayin Jesus Christ
You should see the sight, cookin ox-tail, peas and rice
Makin about a G a night, they can't read or write
But I got every creed and type, you need a dyke, babygirl I see the light
But sometime y'all get crimey crimey, grimy grimy
But those with a tiny hiney they get whiny whiny
So guard your girl, Harlem World, cock the gun, pop it son
Fila fam, illa players, Killa Cam is still the man
[Bounty Killer]
Uptown massive, Uptown the borough
Uptown let the [?] kali, no sorrow
Uptown trestle, Uptown of course
I grab you [?] they got me turn up to North
And if dem turn up North [?] hurt no tell de boss
And if dem tell me off dey are a bunch of ghosts
And if dem gal are up, well den dem know da gal are boss
De rap dancehall try on de Mossinos
And if dem tie me off, dem can call me Cedro
I put a rap to singalong in all de [?] crew
And if da gal a bitch [?] the rainbow
[?]
[Killah Priest]
Yo, hit you with the force of an iron horse
Tear your face off the planet, leavin one-third damaged
Witcha back cracked the earth canvas, leavin mountains slanted
Rock the earth of the axle, crabs who
Polar bears beneath the sea gravel
Thoughts be runnin wild like the Lil' Rascals
Puttin dinosaurs inside of figure fours, rip you with nine inch claws
Chasin {motherfuckers} through malls, and clash in halls
Beatin {motherfuckers} through walls, stompin through floors
and jumpin down elevator shafts
Searchin for they {ass}, stayin low in the grass
Wearin a gas mask, wrappin their hands up in plastic bags
On stage like a savage goin mad
WHAT? Yeah yeah, sooooooooooooo!
[Prodigy]
Yeah, by all means you know you gotta put Queens on it
Put cream on it, Q.B. we rep often
Take over your party, slamdance witcha hood
Took your ladies back to the projects with us
Then sent her {ass} back on the Q-train home
Satisfied, she learned the words to my thug song
See we one big borough of Dons with firearms
And we never use those, til the man act
other than he's 'sposed to, {nigga} what I'm 'sposed to do?
Shots whistle, damn near missed dat
Shoes get pissed at
[Redman]
From the, tip of my Timbs, to my eyebrows
The hostile, english, Olde E widemouth
Get PCP fiends, jumpin off cliffs
And if you had the balls, you'd be walkin off stiff
My paragraph alone is worth five mics (uh-huh)
A twelve song LP, that's thirty-six mics (uh-huh)
And while you win Un Hype (uh-huh) I spit on your snipe
and tell you {fuck you} and that {bitch} on your bike
Brick City!!
[Reverand Run]
Aiyyo.. now bust it
Never try me crimey I'm grimy so don't deny me
I be Little like your Rascals and stymie to fly that hiney
Buy me keys, to my Benz and my Coupe
Like Jay and Run and D.M.C.'s, that's the name of my group
(now speed it up)
Beat to the rhythm of the rhyme
I'm givin up a dime, there go another line you figured
Never drivin by nine, never givin up a dime if you was
Never been that {nigga}
If you really wanna test me, brother don't stress me
Or you just be bowlin
It's Reverand like a Jesse, brother that's just me
and that's just my colon
The five boroughs of death, we rep to death
Step aside little {niggaz}, show time yep
It's goin down the moment we inside the spot
Let's rock'n'roll, you know the M.O., it gets real
when the five boroughs of death, we rep to death
Step aside little {niggaz}, show time yep
It's goin down the moment we inside the spot
Let's rock'n'roll, you know the M.O., it gets ho

Only came here for P !!! Prodigy forever!!!
I'm lean, fresh, dirty not clean, nah mean, you need more than Sticks to break my skull bones, Wolverine my twin, at the same lab I have been, I might be an Xmen, or just the next man, Avanger, what ever, more than friends I trust stranger, mayday mayday now there are in danger. they can't fight us all.. this is just rap, a form of art and muzik. I get amused with... cuz what did I say? Did I🤔, Play with words? well why not, its hot, oh whoa, its all in flow
who should chemical opiates help🤔 I'm not a doc, maybe I'm better, do I need a diploma? it all just advice. you are welcome, when I rap they call me Twice
Dmx they dont know how to help, cuz there is nothing that must be fixed. they just put on the stigma, ask Kanye😉
I can hold it longer than when you say blow, whoa, 4min or more with cuffes under water, if you need to chop some, hola I'm the Slaughter, without knife, I break bones when its about life.
realy🤔 or thought i'm just average, savage, or is it more, need no door come throught walls and dimension. No I dont have a mansion, is a home a home when your loved ones are gone ask Diddy. I'm coming home, or did I get it all wrong? hell yeah I'm strong, will still here even when I'm gone. you say 5 mike's I only know one, if the 🐷 come, i fight or might run, cuz the all got a gun. but can they really stop me if I'm the one🤔

I fucking love this track. Hip Hop 1 Love🖤
100,000 megawatts of h.core rap
Remembers me mikah9
113k views LOL
But those with a tiny hiney they get whiny whiny
When American hiphop had clout krs has got to be my favourite. He's saying do as want but stop think first. I love hiphop where after the tune you look some stuff up and go learn. Doctors should scrap the drugs give em some weed tell them to listen to some decent hiphop and find yourself or any music that puts you in that mind state. I have people that hate on my music but listening to some mumbling rapper that is just boring asf and all the same. Just shows to me I shouldn't hang or give them anymore time than I have to. I've learnt over time music has a big influence on people they may not act like that person but there mind set will be the same. Call me a tin hat guy but it has been proven frequencies have a effect on the brain and been used as a form of meditation also has effect on your moods they can enhance or dull. So people know where I'm coming from lol.
hip hop for you
Real Hip - Hop
Dopeness
P killed it
i love this shit in 2019
What a crime to censor such a classic! How can this be called real hiphop when this happens?😡😤
I remember when my big brother came home with this 12“ ...fire !!!!
Kind of reminds me of Grand Finale but on steroids
What happened to Vigilante? I remember seeing this video as kid and going crazy when heard his verse. 20 years on and it feels like the dude disappeared from the face of the planet.
Prodigy 👑
Good Lord, I remember buying 'My Philosophy' when it came out and he's still going.

Dope Where U From 🔥
Cam'Ron is good on this track. What happened after this track.
That wasnt Bounty and Bounty is from Jamaica.
Those 28 people? Get rid of'em
R.i.p. Prodigy one of the realest ever and this is proof.
real hiphop swa realllllll
thats shame i swear
RIP Prodigy
rip prodigy!
Rest in Paradise #PRODIGY
rip Prodigy
good lord this track was a hot mess. not only are two of the mcs not even from any of the 5 boroughs (ill accept bounty killer as acting as a representative of nyc jamaicans, though curious why they didnt get busta for that seeing as this was around the time he was doing about 5 cameos a week), there's no one from staten island. cam's verse is awful (the tiny hiney part is the worst thing hes ever spit), redman's verse doesnt make sense, run's verse is embarassing, "thoughts be running wild like the little rascals" is the worst thing priest has ever spit, prodigy and buckshot just phone it in, and who the fuck is vigilante
this however all overshadows the fact that the video's also total ass
I'm not gonna disagree with you, but the reggae guy was not Bounty Killer, his name is Vigilante and I'm pretty sure he's from NY. Redman is dope but he should have never been in this song, NJ is clearly not part of the 5 boroughs, and yes they could have used someone from Staten Island as well.
Redman stated several times that he lived in Staten Island.Killah Priest ,I guess also represents that borough too.
Bounty Killer on fire! 1 my all time favourites
That's the second time someone said that was Bounty. Oh, Hell no!!! That's not Bounty Killer.
Krs said he doesn't give a fuck that Afrika Bambaataa bit a little boys penis off.
Pi Kari know!
killah priest!!!!!1
clean version looking like shit
Only 61575 Views?Can´t believe it...
Whiteman Weis This video is blocked in some countries
vevo? what the fuck y'all done with this track!?
Dennis Kraus MTV
love redman but he's from Jersey, why isn't it new york artists only? I suppose Keith Murray shouldn't be on it either but long island still new York
Sick cypher !
Am I the only guy that thinks that Run killed this track?
+smell fine I take it the answer is no
Adrian Bajlo that's the line run dropped don't stress me lol. ...yeah rev run killed it
He absolutely crucified it bro. I thought the same thing. RUN DMC don't play.
Adrian Bajlo He definitely represented.
Adrian Bajlo riggtth!!!
if you see a rap with the twins still up you know its better than 16/17
Da Bronx! Keep it real! God bless New York City.
Keith Murray's verse should go: '' I'm dead serious, and I stole Rakim's rhymin'. Rough enough to break New York from Long Island. ''
The real MC
Nice song dood
Redman 🔥🔥🔥
why the rest of rappers are not stated in the title?
IN order of appearance(apart from KRS): Vigilante, Buckshot, Keith Murray, Cam'ron, Bounty Hunter, Killah Priest ( Best verse in my opinion ) Prodigy, Redman, Reverend Run, you really need to explore Hip Hop a bit more
Naw, Thor-El is the rapper after KRS. Vigilante is the reggae man
Because you are allowed to type certain amounts of letters in the title.
110% hip-hop
Actually it's 90 % cause it's censored ;-)
What is the title of the movie on the MV?
The Corruptor 1999, starring Mark Wahlberg and Chow Yun-Fat.

Christoph Schnapp Comment of the year

They are allergic to real rap music 😂😂😂
Wow! I just discovered a hip hop gem!

CLASSIC HIP-HOP!
Why did vevo censor this awesome song? Is it because it doesn't sell many units like drakes bitch ass or there isn't enough booty shaking nicki minaj hoes in it.
Come on vevo, get your shit sorted!
