Lyrics

A Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot And it's like that A Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot And it's like that A Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot And it's like that A Gang Starr represent 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 acting funny, yo As soon as some niggas get some light, they be like dummies, yo Products and puppets and pawns, gettin' played out When authentic niggas step up respect be laid out Major effect to your sector, I'm the corrector Live and direct, wavin' my mic like a scepter Supreme exalted, universal leader Descendant of the kings and queens, the overseer The overlord, cream of the crop, crème de la crème Spent years building with cats in the streets so they my men Again Gang Starr 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 be in school, or in the library Wherever you are, baby paw, realize that your essence Is divine, son, and let it shine, son, as we refine, son Ayo, this shit'll blow your mind, son – we're royalty Whatever I do 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 And all the girls, they want to spoil me My honey anoints me with oils, G After work, she greets me, and treats me like royalty Works with me, giving herself, by my side She don't sweat me for loot, my fame, or my ride A lot of ladies out there be looking lovely But they don't got no control of their life – inside, they'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 Preemo–creepin' to the top And to the sweethearts out there breakin' hearts While we're taking 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 Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot And it's like that A Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot And it's like that A Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot And it's like that A Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot And it's like that Ohhh yay oh yeah ohh Whatever I do I only want the best Somebody out there wants the best Don't you settle for less Yeah, yeah Told you to do real
