{*Angie Stone keeps harmonizing*} 
Chorus: Angie Stone 
Keep your feet, out my shoes 
A nigga like me done paid my dues 
Keep my comb, out your hair 
Unless you bout ready to take it there 
Keep my name, out your mouth 
Until you got somethin worth talkin bout 
Keep your hands, to yourself 
Cause I belong to someone else 
[Guru] 
It`s the, G-U-R-U, once again settin it off 
Lettin it off my chest plus, bettin it all 
Record sales, awards, accolades I`m, gettin it all 
Mad chips, right above my grip I`m, lettin `em fall 
Who said the G-O-D wasn`t comin to do his thing 
Who said the industry, wasn`t gonna bow to this king? 
I paid dues stayed true so I, made it through 
If you handle your B-I fly guy you can make it too 
Your potential is infinite, be wise visualize witness it 
Why waste your time focusin your mind on limp shit? 
Angie understands me, and Scratch got my back 
So keep away from the fire, burnin desire, yo we got that 
Chorus 
[Guru] 
I`ve never been a, 
stranger to struggle gotta maintain my hustle 
Used to let the anger bubble 
These streets can bring mad danger and trouble 
And I can do bad all by myself 
Do me a favor - don`t be concerned about my wealth 
If you`re one of my peeps, you`re gonna know that 
But if I ain`t feelin you player, huh 
My face is gonna show that 
So keep your eyes off my pockets 
Don`t be surprised if I cocked it 
Can`t outslick a can of oil, you never spoil my profits 
See how I`m flippin this here? 
Things are different this year 
Ain`t got no time to listen to niggaz 
that be trippin this year 
Cause and effect, I always get, applause and respect 
When I rhyme, universal laws, truth and righteousness connect 
[Angie Stone] 
You see the knowledge that I`m kickin`s for you 
And there is nothin that another can do 
Try to stop me but I make it through 
Recruitin angels as a warrior I`m true 
People need people, it`s true 
True pride will sustain 
In order to do what I do I can let you live 
with me inside my brain 
Chorus w/ variations 
[Guru] 
I`ve been tellin you, that there`s war out here 
And I`ve been tellin you, that there`s more out here 
So stop limitin your thoughts 
Stop reconstructin your plots 
It`s more than luck it`s an art 
No more, duckin from NARC`s 
Haters stay at a distance, haters keep away from my fam 
Haters stay in my business, haters still playin this jam 
Mad Wisdoms, reflect the light of this man 
Some jealous rappers, tried to pick a fight with this man 
But despite all the nonsense, and false pretense I bomb this 
Peace to those I get along with, my real nigga I`m strong with 
And never get me twisted with no wack shit 
And all that foolishness you was kickin, heh 
I know you wanna take it back kid 
Chorus 2X 
[Angie Stone]

DJ.. Scratch and Angie 
Uhh.. 
Uhhhhh, ooooh yeahhh yeahhh
