"Kanye West"
这一等一的范儿你根本买不来
Verse 1: Kanye West
王者光鲜亮丽
Can't buy this, super fly in this
看看有多少人排队想看我表演
Like shininess, you're highness
只要你的音乐经受得起时间的考验，你也能享受到这种待遇
It's performin', look how long the line is
每个说唱先锋，总能享受这种待遇
It's what happens when you make shit that's timeless
问我“想成为Nas这样的传奇该怎么做？”的人
It's what happens, each rapper's the pioneers
你们还太嫩，远不如我饱经磨砺
What would it take to be a legend like Nas is?
所以老子有资格趾高气扬
That's so novice, I'm so polished
大学，哥还是上过
I got a right to be a 'lil snobbish
但就像Rob Base的歌词，只用两个学期（指Rob Base的名曲《It Takes Two》）
I did a 'lil bit of College
因为大学只会束缚我的手脚（此处英文歌词有误）
Semesters it took two like Rob Base
节奏慢点，让你能听到我的脚步
To let me figure out this was in my place
什么也挡不住我的杀气
The beat's slow, 'til you listen to my pace
你们都这么觉得，别以为我不知道
'Cause I be killin' shit, but that's evident
经典能永久流传
And y'all feelin' it, but I expected
我超越了所有人，前所未有的强大
If it's classic - it's gon' last forever than
I'm everywhere you never been, and better than I ever been

"Hold the fort down, represent to the fullest"
自称混过街头的冒牌歌手
"Nas'll rock well"
听到这首歌一定黯然神伤
哇，你有了张白金唱片？不错哟
Verse 2: Nas
有本事你再来一张
Perseverance..
三张，四张，然后再来几张
See the fake hustler rapper
你只不过是业余玩家，这是我的天下
To them, it hurts to hear this
生命短暂，一定要活出精彩
Oh you went platinum? Yeah, that's nice
废物在这儿没法生存
Now let me see you do the same thing twice
何况这里空气紧张，污染严重
Three times, four times, then a couple of mo' times
还要造出好车填补需求
Please, you're Amateur Night, it's Showtime
当你那么想要一辆好车
It's one life to live, so live it the best you can
却苦于钱包不争气
The world could use one less man
而你腰缠万贯的时候
Not enough air, not enough car factories
车又算什么
To manufacture new vehicles, sedans and vans
想起我长大的地方，一切都是那么残酷
When they do make the whip you like
条子开枪从不犹豫
Your chips ain't right
把你废了，他们扬长而去
By the time you could afford it
几个街区外的兄弟都想站出来反抗
The car ain't imported
我想成为一堵墙，他们的脑浆会洒在上面
In the streets I'm in, it's just iron
墙下面跪的是这帮条子，为他们的罪行忏悔
Cops keep firin', in my environment
经典就像Air Force 1，毒贩的必备款式
Leavin' you slumped, then they drive home
是我最熟悉不过的..
Far from the hood, brothers they eager to jump on
I like to be the wall that they toast up on
经典
I like to see them fall, guilty for doin' wrong
I'm classic like the Air One's, the hustler shoe
依旧追随经典
That's what I'm accustomed to.. yea

KRS-One Sample:
叱咤风云二十载
"Of course - we have Blastmaster KRS-One"
怀念曾经的兄弟Jam Master Jay和Scott La Rock (JMJ是Run DMC的一员，Scott La Rock是Boogie Down Productions的创始成员之一和DJ
这就是Hip-Hop，我们应该团结起来
Verse 3: KRS-One
这样才能从电台听到KRS-One更多的作品
How many of y'all got - 'Criminal Minded'?
而不是无良电台只会吹嘘自己的烂歌
You, you, you, y'all don't be blinded
我们想听的是真正的接地气的歌手
Me - I got no jewels on my neck
你在哪？赶快出来看
Why? - I don't need 'em, I got your respect
这就是MC和Rapper的不同
KRS-One, 20 years I rock
擅于表达他们的不法行为
I do it for JMJ and Scott La Rock
而MC立志于升华人们的灵魂
This hip-hop and we is a nation
爱与和平，团结与欢乐
Don't you wanna hear more KRS-One on your radio station?
这就是KRS-One的词！
Instead of broadcasting how we smoke them trees
On the radio we need to hear more local emcees
经典
Where you at?, c'mon where you at?
This is the difference between emceein' and rap
依旧追随经典
Rappers spit rhymes that're mostly illegal
Emcees spit rhymes to uplift their people

问问小孩儿，老炮和小痞子

经典会亘古不变，在圈子里，年龄只是个数字
"I'm Rakim, the fiend of a microphone.."
流畅的flow能让人永葆青春

Verse 4: Rakim
即使还有人表示怀疑，那也挡不住大家为我叫绝
Uh, yea, is y'all ready for 20-07?
我踏进圈子的那一刻，就成了你们的领袖
It's now another drought
脚踏光鲜的Nike Air Force
Everybody's a killer, wow we buggin' out
我们也叫他Uptown，女款的是Uppie
Since '86 showin' the crowd what I'm about
KRS-One穿着它发出谆谆教诲（KRS-One最著名的绰号是Teacher）
And they still wanna know when the album comin' out
Nas踩着它告诉你在枪的事情上要三思而后行（采用了Nas的Made You Look）
Askin' teenagers, OG's and nasty kids
我猜Kanye与耶稣同行的时候，穿的也是它吧（Jesus Walk是Kenye的经典曲目）
What their definition of Classic is?
Timeless, so age don't count in the booth
这些都是经典
When your flow stay submerge in the fountain of youth
Ain't no doubtin' the truth, I'm off the meters
依旧追随经典
Everybody cosignin', even the non-believers
Since I came in the door, and became one of y'all leaders
