"Tell the people what you re here for"

Intro/Chorus: Guru

It s the message in the song that makes you rock on
Some people go to places where they don t belong
Whether wrong or righta lot of people fight
But I m here to bless this micaight?

Verse One: Guru

I take action the minute that the crowd gets hype
I m type crashindown like a meteorite
I m Bogart-ingmics and whole stages
Destroying MC s dreamsfrom words to whole pages
Their rapbookslook more like scrapbooks
with their fictional fairytales and frail ass hooks
A lot of shit has happenedsince I started rappin
There s been enough beefand enough gat clappin
There s been mad signsfor this brother to heed
and while some choose greedI choose to plant seeds
for your mentalspirit and physical temple
Bob your head to itthere s the water you ve been lead to it
Bathe in ita long time you ve been cravin it
Prance to ituse your third eye and glance through it
Your state of beingbecoming advanced through it
While others rhyme with no reason I be breezin
Their mics I seize themthen I try em for treason
I used to always like to hang out
Now I lounge in the rest writin bombs while tracks bang out
I know you peeped me in the club then
but now I m in your speakerwith the voice that you re lovin

Chorus

Verse Two: Guru

Peace to the young ladieswho wanna bone me much
And peace to my nigga Premierwith the golden touch
I never fall off pointlike DeNiro in Casino
Peace to Black Gambinos and all my peoples
dig the steelo -- I m fightin wars you know
as in the Jihadmost humblemost merciful
That s because I be GodI trog through fogspuffing logs
MC s muttering menial madnessthey get mobbed
Scarred and barredand thenbanished from my fuckin kingdom
You got a fly one bring oneor else I come to fling some
exquisite exotic exciting type shit
Enough to make the real heads wake up and get hype quick
I m type slickknown as the God Universal
Kick rhymes without rehearsalI cross the burnin sands
Now I stand here with virtueof course I could hurt you
simply with my point of viewand I knew
that many would comethat s why I ve chosen
to cut off pathwaysand there s no runways or doorways open
for the jokers who ain t focused
And all the fake mercenaries get buried by the tongue of terrifying fury
Nothing s blurryfuck it I got no worries
Hearts and mindsshine bright light with insight
Yeah sense my birthright to set up cyphers with power
cause mad shit ain t rightlike punks in the spotlight
who can t freestylesometimes I make my peeps smile
by sayin somethin crazy wild
like some shit off my domethat be soundin
better than the next man s whole album...
