Lyrics
Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot
And it's like that
Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot
And it's like that
Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot
And it's like that
Gang Starr
Represent
Oh yeah
One of the meanest and the cleanest
And still I'm kind of fiendish when I'm at this
Been doin' this for eons, peons best to catch this
Vision of excellence, precise rappin' ability
'Bout to make some dead presidents, mackin' a million, G
The money though, it's got people actin' funny yo
As soon as some **** get some light, they be like dummies, yo
Products and puppets and pawns, gettin' played out
When authentic **** step up, respect be layed out
Major effect to you sector, I'm the corrector
Live and direct, wavin' my mic like a sceptor
Supreme exalted, universal leader
Descendants of the kings and queens, the overseer
The overlord, cream of the crop, creme de la creme
Spent years buildin' with cats in the streets, so they my men
Again, GangStarr has done it
Remember too much jewels back in the days? You'd have to run it
Check it, the ground be hot under our feet
So we be listenin' to beats to keep the cypher complete
Whether you kids be holdin', on the block all day
Or you be puffin' lye, out in the back hallway
Or whether you bein' schooled, or in the library
Wherever you are, Baby Pah
Realize that your essence is divine, son
And let it shine, son, as we refine, son
Aiyyo, this shit'll blow your mind son, we're royalty
Wherever I go, I won't accept nothin' less than the best
Whatever I choose, I choose to do
I have to stand out from all the rest
Whatever I do, wherever I go
I won't accept nothin' less than the best
Whatever I choose, I choose to do
I just wanna stand out from all the rest, yeah
And all the girls they wanna spoil me
My honey anoints me with oils, G
After work she greets me, and treats me like royalty
Works for me, givin' herself, by my side
She don't sweat me for loot, my fame or my ride
A lot of ladies out there, be lookin' lovely
But they don't got no control of their life, inside the're ugly
Word to Bugsy and to Red Alert
Sway and Tech, and Funkmaster Flex to make your head jerk
Chicks go berserk when they see us in the spot
K-Ci, JoJo and Primo, creepin' to the top
And to the sweethearts out there breakin' hearts
While we're takin part of this hip-hop art
Listen, yo, the best way, it ain't always the fast way
And yes, the best way, it ain't always to act nasty
I'll open up the door always before you pass me
Baby Doll, because you're royalty
Whatever I do, wherever I go
I won't accept nothin' less than the best
Whatever I choose, I choose to do
I have to stand out from all the rest
Whatever I do, wherever I go
I won't accept nothin' less than the best
Whatever I choose, I choose to do
I just wanna stand out from all the rest, yeah
Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot
And it's like that
Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot
And it's like that
Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot
And it's like that
Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot
And it's like that
