'Yo. Suckas know they can't get with Kris Kross. Yo. Comin' out the Ruffhouse, y'know what I'm saying? Kris Kross. Yeah. (?)'

[Kris Kross]
Aw yeah!
I'm the Daddy Mac, the one you can't get with
Every time I flow it's like (aw yeah)
A (?) of the hardcore, uncut straight to the do'
Lookin' for some mo', telling you where you can go
Get back, Jack, cuz we got 'em (word)
Two young macs droppin' a whole lotta vibe
In the zone, meaning we hit and don't miss
And suckas, you can't get with this

[Caller]
'Ha! Aw yeah. Straight outta Atlanta. Kris Kross. Y'know what I'm sayin'? Raw. Huh? They (?) with nobody, y'know what I'm sayin'? (?) Dreadlocks (?) Skullcap (?)'

[Kris Kross]
Ay yo, Kris, tell 'em how it goes
It goes a-on and on to the break of dawn
We send chills, and so many skills, it's on
The bass keeps knockin', girlies keep jockin'
Places we be rockin' make dollars, we be flockin'
So all y'all suckas need to step off
There ain't a day or a way I could ever come soft
It's on, meaning we hit and don't miss
And suckas, you can't get with this
Fools!

[Caller]
'(?) for the 90s. (?) the way it should be. Ah, where they from? Atlanta. Yeah, that's right. (?)'

[Kris Kross]
I want to give a shout out to my girl Silk Tymes Leather, (?) and the straight jacker, the X Man, and the whole SSD Posse
Five thousand, g!
And all y'all niggas know y'all can't get with this
Fools! Hahaha....

[Caller]
'Yeah, I'm about to hang up now. Yo. Yo, get with this. Kris Kross in effect, suckas.'

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.
