It means I find my mind can excel to
 a greater type of thought  brought by the things that I've been taught
 in relation to things that I rebel to divine and combine
 with a sense of confidence
 Accomplishments  are achieved off lots of gifts
 But slopiness  I could never tolerate it
 Not the Guru nor Premier you don't know how long we've waited
 While other groups have faded, just like haircuts
 We use sheer guts to open the earducts of your brain
 to expose every vain
 Cause you sound plain, insane, and mundane, it's a shame
 You've got no beats, so you get no seats
 at this table, you ain't stable with the mic cable
 Kane and Able, jealous brothers
 And I knew some girls who were overzealous lovers
 But back to the act of developing the GangStarr track
 It means that nothing can be wack
 The music is picked right, the mic is gripped tight
 The lyrics I kick right to a beat like Kryptonite power
 Not withstood by any mortal or immortal
 To make you get on the floor til
 another dope jam we slam with precision
 Bringing beams of light, like the colors in a prism
 or reflections, through a spectrum
 And all the soft silly suckers I'ma wet them
 in other words destroy boy, and then claim my fame...
 This is the meaning of the name
 (DJ Premier cuts "what does it all mean?")
 [Guru]
 GangStarr, it means a lot to me
 It means I'm free to bust rhymes sporadically
 Gang represents my boys or a posse
 So just back up off me
 And the Starr symbolizes the power
 Making the suckers and weak brothers cower
 We got strong, intelligent minds with a street sense
 Crazy offense, and stupid defense
 Now, have I made myself clear?
 Or do I have to call on DJ Premier?
 For he and I make up the songs that you long for
 Meanwhile ducks just knock on the wrong door
 Waiting for a call or for the doors to open
 Cause they're hoping, that they'll get chosen
 But to be chosen is a divine gift
 You better get a job quick
 See you can't rhyme and all your beats are weak
 You oughta take a peak and check out the technique
 Seek, and you shall find
 GangStarr stands for mastermind
 Simple and plain and yo this ain't no game lame...
