Come on back here Kris
Yeah, it's cool back here, we can chill, get Kris
I just wanted to get away from the rest of them niggas
You know, just wanna see what you tryna do
Tryna get paid, then I was lookin' at you
Well that's good, last time you weren't saying that
What you mean last time I wasn't saying that
'Cause, you know, I thought you might come by, but you didn't
Sayin' but we here now and we chillin'
Well, that's cool, so
Just gonna take your shirt off
Just gonna take your pants off too
We can do that too
So I'm gonna go get Kris
I'm saying it's cool, but we can do this together, you know what I'm saying
It's better that way, you know what I'm sayin'?
All three of us gon' do one big group thang...
Wanna show you something, eh?
That's cool!

Kris Kross was a 1990s chart-topping platinum-certified American rap duo comprised of Chris “Mac Daddy” Kelly and Chris “Daddy Mac” Smith.

One day in 1990, pre-teens Smith & Kelly were at an Atlanta mall trying to get an autograph from the short-lived trio Silk Tymes Leather when producer Jermaine Dupri was impressed with the boys' look, so he exchanged phone numbers with them. Dupri then spent two years writing music for the group, teaching them to rap, and trying to land them a record deal.

After being turned down several times, eventually Ruffhouse Records signed the duo after hearing “Lil Boys In Da Hood” because they liked the unique perspective of young rappers talking about the ghetto and gang violence.
