Lyric You Know My Steez - Gang Starr

Lyric Song You Know My Steez: Guru
That makes me know thatwe we we we re doin
We had the right idea in the beginning
And and we just need to maintain our focusand elevate
We what we do we update our formulas
We have certain formulas but we update em oh right
with the timesand everything y know
And and so y know
The rhyme style is elevated
The style of beats is elevated
but it s still Guru and Premier
And it s always a message involved

yquot;The real hip hopyquot;
yquot;MCingand DJing from your own mindya knowyquot;
yquot;II guess right now we should start the showyquot;

Guru
Who s the suspicious character strapped with the sounds profound
Similar to rounds spit by Derringers
You re in the Terrordome like my man Chuck D said
It s time to dethrone you clonesand all you knuckleheads
Cause MC s have used up extended warranties
While real MC s and DJ s are a minority
But right about nowI use my authority
Cause I m like the Wizard and you look lost like Dorothy
The horror be when I return for my real people
Words that split wigs hittin like some double Desert Eagles
Sportin caps pulled lowand baggy slacks
Subtractin all the rappers who lackover Premier s tracks
Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse
So as I have in the pastI whup ass
Droppin lyrics that be hotter than sex and candlewax
And one dimensional MC s can t handle that
While the world s revolvinon it s axis
I come with mad love and plus the illest warlike tactics
The wilderness is filled with this; so many people
searching for false liftI m here with the skills you ve missed
The rejected stone is now the cornerstone
Sort of like the master builder when I make my way home
You know my steez

yquot;You know my steezyquot; ygt; Method Man
yquot;Let em knowdo your thing y allyquot; yquot;Keep it liveyquot;
yquot;To the beat y allyquot; ygt; Flavor Flav

The beat is sinisterPrimo makes you relax
I m like the ministerwhen I be lacin the wax
I be bringin salvation through the way that I rap
And you knowand I knowI m nice like that
Work through worldly problemsI got the healing power
When the mic s within my reachI m feelin more power
Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour
It s often easier for oneto give advice
Than it is for a person to run one s own life
That s why I can t be caught up in all the hype
I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
The apparatus gets blessedand suckers get put to rest
No more of the unpure I got the cure for this mess
The wackness is spreadin like the plague
MC s lucked up and got paid but still can t make the fuckin grade
How many times are wannabe s gonna lie
Yo they must wanna frythey can t touch the knowledge I personify
I travel through the darkness carrying my torch
The illest soldierwhen I m holding down the fort
yquot;You know my steezyquot; ygt; Method Man
You know my steez

yquot;Let em knowdo your thing y allyquot; yquot;Keep it liveyquot;
yquot;You know my steezyquot; ygt; Method Man
*repeat 4X with very last line modified as follows*
yquot;The micyquot;

On the microphone you know that I m one of the best yet
Some punksain t paid all of their debts yet
Tryin to be flyridin high on the jet set
With juvenile rhymes makin fake ass death threats
Big deallike En Voguehere s something you can feel
Styles more tangibleand image more real
For some time nowI ve held the scrolls and manuscripts
When it s time to go all out you be likeyquot;Damn he flippedyquot;
Now I m sickfed up with the bullshit
Got the lyrical full clipgiving you a verbal asswhip
Don t trip it s the gifted prolific one
Known as Bald Head Slick why is the press all on my di dick
My style be wilderthan a kamikaze pilot
Don t try itI m about to start more than a friggin riot
Styles unsurpassableand nuccas that s suckasyo
Them motherfuckers are harrassable
For I be speaking from my parables and carry you beyond
The mic s either a magic wand
Or it gets tragic like the havoc of a nuclear bomb
Then I grab your palmno pulse you re gone
And if you thought we d lose our niche in this rap shit you way wrong
I stay upI stay onshine brightlike neon
Your song spatheticsyntheticlike Rayon
Fat beatsthey play onwant dope rhymesput me on
Word is bond you know my steez
