[Guru]
2
That makes me know that, we we we we're doin
3
We had the right idea in the beginning
4
And and we just need to maintain our focus, and elevate
5
We what we do we update our formulas
6
We have certain formulas but we update em (oh right)
7
with the times, and everything y'know
8
And and so.. y'know
9
The rhyme style is elevated
10
The style of beats is elevated
11
but it's still Guru and Premier
12
And it's always a message involved
13
"The real... hip-hop"
14
"MCing, and DJing.. from your own mind, ya know?"
15
"I, I guess right now we should start the show"
16
[Guru]
17
Who's the suspicious character strapped with the sounds profound
18
Similar to rounds spit by Derringers
19
You're in the Terrordome like my man Chuck D said
20
It's time to dethrone you clones, and all you knuckleheads
21
Cause MC's have used up extended warranties
22
While real MC's and DJ's are a minority
23
But right about now, I use my authority
24
Cause I'm like the Wizard and you look lost like Dorothy
25
The horror be when I return for my real people
26
Words that split wigs hittin like some double Desert Eagles
27
Sportin caps pulled low, and baggy slacks
28
Subtractin all the rappers who lack, over Premier's tracks
29
Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse
30
So as I have in the past, I whup ass
31
Droppin lyrics that be hotter than sex and candlewax
32
And one-dimensional MC's can't handle that
33
While the world's revolvin, on it's axis
34
I come with mad love and plus the illest warlike tactics
35
The wilderness is filled with this; so many people
36
searching for false lift, I'm here with the skills you've missed
37
The rejected stone is now the cornerstone
38
Sort of like the master builder when I make my way home
39
You know my steez...
40
"You know my steez" --> Method Man
41
"Let em know, do your thing y'all" "Keep it live"
42
"To the beat y'all" --> Flavor Flav
43
The beat is sinister, Primo makes you relax
44
I'm like the minister, when I be lacin the wax
45
I be bringin salvation through the way that I rap
46
And you know, and I know, I'm nice like that
47
Work through worldly problems, I got the healing power
48
When the mic's within my reach, I'm feelin more power
49
Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour
50
It's often easier for one, to give advice
51
Than it is for a person to run one's own life
52
That's why I can't be caught up in all the hype
53
I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
54
The apparatus gets blessed, and suckers get put to rest
55
No more of the unpure I got the cure for this mess
56
The wackness is spreadin like the plague
57
MC's lucked up and got paid but still can't make the fuckin grade
58
How many times are wannabe's gonna lie?
59
Yo they must wanna fry, they can't touch the knowledge I personify
60
I travel through the darkness carrying my torch
61
The illest soldier, when I'm holding down the fort
62
("You know my steez" --> Method Man)
63
You know my steez...
64
"Let em know, do your thing y'all" "Keep it live"
65
"You know my steez" --> Method Man
66
*repeat 4X with very last line modified as follows*
67
"The mic..."
68
On the microphone you know that I'm one of the best yet
69
Some punks, ain't paid all of their debts yet
70
Tryin to be fly, ridin high on the jet-set
71
With juvenile rhymes makin fake-ass death threats
72
Big deal, like En Vogue, here's something you can feel
73
Styles more tangible, and image more real
74
For some time now, I've held the scrolls and manuscripts
75
When it's time to go all out you be like, "Damn he flipped"
76
Now I'm sick, fed up with the bullshit
77
Got the lyrical full clip, giving you a verbal asswhip
78
Don't trip it's the gifted prolific one
79
Known as Bald Head Slick -- why is the press all on my di-dick?
80
My style be wilder, than a kamikaze pilot
81
Don't try it, I'm about to start more than a friggin riot
82
Styles unsurpassable, and nuccas that's suckas, yo
83
Them motherfuckers are harrassable
84
For I be speaking from my parables and carry you beyond
85
The mic's either a magic wand
86
Or it gets tragic like the havoc of a nuclear bomb
87
Then I grab your palm, no pulse you're gone
88
And if you thought we'd lose our niche in this rap shit you way wrong
89
I stay up, I stay on, shine bright, like neon
90
Your song's, pathetic, synthetic, like Rayon
91
Fat beats, they play on, want dope rhymes, put me on
92
Word is bond... you know my steez
