Be strong, be strong
You must tell the devil, huh
You must tell the devil, ha
You must tell these devils, word
You got to tell the devil, huh
Tell the devil, ha
Got, word, word
You must tell the devil, huh
Ha ha
Be strong, word
Stand on the rock
When the devil got your soul
And you ain't got control
You know you born again
But you feel like you old
You put your mind on Christ
Or put your mind on Cris
For everlasting life
You must listen to this
Now you could get with this
Or you could get with that
I think you'll go with this
Yo Christians where you at
Oh yes it's KRS
With Church of the Harvest
With Clarence McClendon
Hip hop's winning evangelist
And then there's Hezekiah
His choir brings the fire
He's taking it higher
Tell the devil is a liar
I know you think about that Y2K
And I see the spirit that makes you lose your way
But we got something that is bigger than banks
And we stand upon the rock that cannot break
Through millenniums
Don't you think we've been here before
Through millenniums
God has always opened the doors, word
You must tell the devil, huh
You must tell the devil, ha
You got to tell the devil, ha ha
You must tell the devil, huh
You must tell the devil, ha
Word, word up, ha ha
Word, huh, ha, ha ha
Be strong, be strong
Be strong, word
Be strong, be strong
Endure, endure
Yo, if all you got is money and the little things you wear
You worry about your car note
You worry about your hair
Then you ain't got no faith
And you must live in fear
Now listen to me people
And listen to me clear
So like I was just saying
I think it's time for praying
Don't put your trust in Satan
It's Christ you put your faith in
You minimize your hating
And stop your hesitating
It's faith that keeps you moving
So do not be mistaken
You must tell the devil, huh
You must tell the devil, ha
You must tell the devil, ha ha
Word, word
You got to tell the devil, huh
Tell the devil, ha
You got to tell the devil, ha
Word, word
You must tell the devil, huh
You must tell the devil, ha
Word, tell that devil, ha ha
Word, word
You must tell the devil, huh, uh huh, ha
Yo, ha ha, yo
Now you listen to these lyrics
They speak into your spirit
You shiver when you hear it
But some just cannot bear it
But when you get up near it
There's no need that you fear it
It's KRS ONE, you know me
Hip hop we steer it
So you tell the devil, huh
Tell that devil, ha
Tell that devil, huh
Tell that devil, ha
You must tell the devil, huh
Tell that devil, ha
Get out of my life
Change your life, word
Be strong, be strong
Be strong, be strong
Stand up on the rock
