Now I'm about to get funky.. to somethin that Premier plays
3
Funky.. we gonna do it this way
4
I'm gettin funky.. to somethin that Premier plays
5
I'm the Guru and we'll do it this way
6
Now give the credit.. where it is due
7
Give the credit y'all.. where it's due
8
Now give the credit.. where it is due
9
Give the credit y'all.. where it's due
10
I'm heated up, cause I'm seein folks that are so phony
11
They didn't know me when I was broke and I was lonely
12
Only a few came to check me, so they come first..
13
.. and yo our people come next G
14
We'd go to a club, the Milky Way or the Payday
15
The outlaw spots, where the music was real hot
16
And you wasn't there, when the underrated, real MC's
17
came equipped.. and used to kick slick lyrics
18
All live, without no lipsync
19
To a dope crate, building skills from instinct
20
I'm tired of people, gettin all excited
21
I'm not trippin on just a thing, but I'm delighted
22
to let you know, that some others be flim-flammin
23
I'll let you know, that all this time, we been jammin
24
So give up the props Hobbes, jealousy's a flaw
25
If the next man deserves it, earns it, it should be law
26
So let him pass right through
27
Because you got to give the credit y'all where it is due
28

You know you got to give the credit.. where it is due
31
Give the credit y'all.. where it's due
32
Give the credit.. where it is due
33
Give the credit y'all.. where it's due
34
Some of the dopest MC's don't really get enough light
35
Cause their record companies don't really market them right
36
Most of the people signin acts, they ain't from the street
37
Cause yo they come from the sweet..
38
.. soft section of town
39
While they be sweatin and pretendin that they know a real rap sound
40
But I know some guys, and some ladies, that can fill those spots mate
41
to promote the real greats
42
and educate, and get it straight
43
And mobilizin the imitators, exposin the explosive core
44
I hope to explore
45
galaxies of remedies for your wack rap sickness
46
as I convey relay, mack rap quickness
47
In this business, I witness trickyness
48
Some MC's are into stickyness
49
But I'm sayin this, from experience, I'm furious
50
I didn't get this far overnight, and there's nothin like
51
the real thing, the real swing right? (real swing right?)
52
([Biz] "On and on..") I'm takin things that are true
53
So won't you give the credit y'all where it is due
54

[Guru]
56
So yo I'm fed, cause people like to talk too much
57
They're misled, and yo they like to sqwak too much
58
But let me tell you baby you can't front on this
59
twenty-four track mix, with the deep-ass kick
60
The objective, is to surely demolish
61
the chances of the wack takin all the dollars
62
Support the brothers who are truly gifted
63
This way, the odds, could never be shifted
64
Like my man, you know he works real hard
65
He's good at what he does and now he lives real large
66
So why envy him, or anyone in his crew
67
Just sit back and give the credit y'all where it is due
68
Give the credit.. where it's due
69
Give the credit y'all.. where it is due
70
Give the credit.. where it's due
71
Just give the credit y'all.. where it is due
