This crack-era, reggae-style jam is about girls trading sex for crack rocks. The original version was a beatbox and slackness jam a la Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick’s “La Di Da Di”. It appeared on the B-side of BDP’s debut single, “South Bronx”.
The album remix features brand new production and censo...

Yes, Scott La Rock, you know you rule hip-hop, and
Yes, Mr. Lee, you can rule hip-hop, and
357, you can rule hip-hop, but-a
KRS-One rule it non-stop
When I'm in Brooklyn, yes, me ruling hip-hop
When I'm in Manhattan, me ruling hip-hop
When I'm in Queens, me ruling hip-hop, and
When in Staten Island, me ruling hip-hop
But in the Bronx, me ruling y'all tonight
But in the Bronx, me ruling y'all tonight
We come to rock you whether you're Black or you're white
'Cause KRS-One, you know I'm never fright, come catch this star
[Chorus]
The girlies is free 'cause the crack costs money, oh, yeah
I say the girlies is free 'cause the crack costs money, oh, yeah
[Verse 1]
Riding one day on my freestyle fix
Jamming to a tape Scott La Rock had mixed
I said to myself, "This tape sound funky"
Riding past a 116th Street junkie
Thought I saw Denise but I was only assuming
Took another look and that butt was booming
Did a little trick on my freestyle fix
And I was right beside the girl, she was all on the tip
She said, "Hi, DJ KRS"
She kissed me on my neck so I gave her a peck
She said, "I'm really in a hurry so I cannot wait
If you give me a lift, while we ride we'll debate"
She jumped on my bike, I said, "Huh, what's your stop?"
She said, "Right around the corner to the crack spot
If you buy me a crack I'll know how to act
But if you don't, you might as well step back"
I said, "Now how the hell we jump off to this?
I'm doing you a favor, I'm giving you a lift"
She said,"KRS, you know how it go"
I said, "Yeah, you little— it seems that you're a ho"
I did a little trick on my freestyle fix
And she was right on the ground looking after it, because
[Chorus]
The girlies is free 'cause the crack costs money, oh, yeah
I say the girlies is free 'cause the crack costs money, oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
A girl tried to take me out one day
For a play, not your everyday trey
We walked to the spot, she says she want a rock
I looked in my pocket, didn't have a lot
I said, "You better get yourself a job"
She tried to tell me that times were hard
I told the ho, I said, "Yo, that's not my fault
You need a vault", I'm out to assault
Any girl I find who try to take me for mine
I'm gonna have to finish this another time, but
[Pre-Chorus]
The girlies are free, the girlies are free
The girlies, the girlies, the girlies, the girlies
[Chorus]
The girlies are free 'cause the crack costs money, oh, yeah
I say the girlies are free 'cause the crack costs money, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
