Lyrics

One: Guru I say people people come on and check it out now You see the mic in my hand now watch me wreck it now What is a party if the crew ain't there? (What's your name?) call me Guru that's my man Premier Now many attempts have been made to hold us back? Slander the name and with-hold facts But I'm the type of brother with much more game I got a sure aim and if i find you're to blame You can bet you'll be exterminated, taken out, done It doesn't matter how many they'll go as easy as just one Bust one round in the air for this here Cuz this year suckers are going no where Cuz my strret style and intelligence level Makes me much more than just an angry rebel I'm Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal Mc's that ain't equipped get flipped in my circle I'm aiming on raining on the bitch ass chumps Cuz their rhymes don't flow and their beats don't pump And niggaz better know i paid my dues and shit I'm bout to blow the fuck up because I refuse to quit I'm out to get the props that are rightfullly mine Yeah me and the crew think its about that time But on the DL you know that Gangstarr will conquer That's why you stare and point and others cling on to My nautica, asking for a hookup Well sorry but my schedule is all booked up Nobody put me on I made it up the hard way Look out for my people but the suckers should parlay Cuz it's business kid, this ain't no free for all You have to wait your turn, you must await your call So now, now it is my duty to Eliminate and subtract all of the booty crews And suckers should vacate Before I get irate And I'll kick your can From here to Japan With force you can't withstand Cuz I'm the muthafuckin' man Break: Guru Yo right now I got my man Lil' Dap from the Group home Yo step up to the mic and tell them why you're the man Two: Lil' Dap So much anger built inside So don't stop to say hi, muthafucka just die My shit holds a mouthful so i guess you know what's up Why punks get killed at the end of the month Styles and styles I flip Lil' Dap remains sick Yes the Group Home is thick So all you punks hear this Everytime you riff The more fame that we get Muthafuckas act hard Thinking that they are God Niggaz just don't understand Let me be my own man Did everything on my own And everyplace wasn't home Everywhere that I'd rest I had to dress with a vest I guess you get the routine but with a lot of stress Frustration on my mind Brothers doin' mad time Rhymes are organized like crime As we're rippin' the lines Brothers just don't know How shit got to go Cuz I was told To never give my back to the street As I walk through the ghetto Dead souls I greet See my man give him pound Then I walk with a frown Another minute Another brother's gunned down Shit is getting too close that's why the Group Home is thick So everytime you riff the more fame that we get My father always said don't watch the one across the street Watch the one right next B'cuz he's easy to flex Took heed to what he said Yeah that deep ass nigga While brothers hang around Tryin' to get down Niggaz just don't understand I'm the mutha fuckin' man Break: Guru And also on the set from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels We got my man Jeru the Damaja Yo tell them why you're the man Three: Jeru the Damaja I'll tap your jaw You probably heard it before Step to the bedlamite I'll prove my word is law Drugstore with more Dope rhyme vendor Not partial to beef The chief ambassador Niggaz get mad cuz they can't score Like a wild west flick they wish to shoot up my door But I incite a riot Don't even try it Bust up chumps so crab kids keep quiet Like I said before I tap jaws Snatch whores Kill suckers in wars Vic a style you said was yours Money grip wanna flip but you're fish House the mic like your hooker and did tricks on the bitch Dirty Rotten Scoundrel and my name is Jeru Utilizing my tools in '92 MC's step up in mobs to defeat us When we rock knots and got props like Norm Peterson Lot's of friends, lot's of fun, lots of beers Got the skills, kreeno so I always get cheers Troop on like a trooper no tears for fears I'm a get mines cuz the crew'll get theirs Cut you up like Edward Scissorhands You know the program I'm the mutha fuckin' man...
