Gang Starr

Gang Starr - I'm The Man lyrics

Your rating:
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
 Verse 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
 Verse 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
