[Intro: DJ Premier]

Big L, rest in peace!

Do you wanna mess with this

I'm one of the best yet

We got it

You can feel the realness

In this business of rap

Go ahead


[Verse 1: Guru]

Fresh out the gate again, time to raise the stakes again

Fatten my plate again, y'all cats know we always play to win

G-A-N-G to the Starr, son

Haters took this shit too far, son

So that's all for you, I'm wipin' out your whole team

I'll splatter your dreams with lyrics to shatter your schemes

The badder you seem, the more lies you tell

The more lies you sell, and by surprise, you fell

Into my deathtrap, right into my clutches

Stupid, you know the God must bless

Every single mic he touches

I've suffered, just so I could return harder

Wanna be the shit starter, fuck around, make you a martyr

I make you famous, turn around, then make you nameless

‘Cause you never understood how vital to me this rap game is

Save it and hold that, you catch a hot one

Rhymes chase a fake nigga down soon as I spot one


[Chorus: DJ Premier]

Full clip, do you wanna mess with this?

Gang Starr, I'm one of the best yet

I'm nice like that

It's all good in this business of rep

Full clip, do you wanna mess with this?

Gang Starr, I'm one of the best yet

I'm nice like that

It's all good, so I suggest you take a rest


[Verse 2: Guru]

So if you stand in my way, I'ma have to spray

Learn that if you come against me, son, you're gonna have to pray

Since back in the day I held the weight and kept my head up

They wanna see the god catch an L, it's all a set-up

I give no man or thing power over me

Why these niggas so jealous and looking sour over me?

I'm bolder, G, I'm like impossible to stop

I'm like that nigga in the ring with you impossible to drop

I'm like two magazines fully-loaded to your one

Plus, I ain't gonna quit spittin' 'til you're done

Plus, more than ever I got my whole shit together

More than a decade of hits that'll live forever

Catchin' rep off my name, you're bound to fry

Know how many niggas that I know is down to die?

We never fail, and we ain't never been frail

You niggas talk crime, but you scared of jail


[Chorus: DJ Premier]

Full clip, do you wanna mess with this?

Gang Starr, I'm one of the best yet

I'm nice like that

It's all good in this business of rep

Full clip, do you wanna mess with this?

Gang Starr, I'm one of the best yet

I'm nice like that

It's all good

So I suggest you take a rest


[Verse 3: Guru]

Attackin' like a slick Apache, lyrics are trigger-happy

Blowing back your wig piece

Just for the way you're looking at me

Cock back, blaow, I hit you up right now

I don't know why so many of y'all wanna be thugs anyhow

Face the consequence of your childish nonsense

I could make your head explode just by my lyrical content

Get you in my scope and metaphorically snipe ya

I never liked ya, I gas that ass and then ignite ya

The flamethrower, make your peeps afraid to know ya

How many times I told ya? Play your position, small soldier!

My heart is colder, makes me wanna resort to violence

Stop beating me in the head, son, nah, I'm not buyin' it

I'm ready to blast, ready to surpass and harass

I'm ready to flip, yeah, I'm ready to dip with all the cash

I hold my chrome steady with a tight grip

So watch your dome already, 'cause this one might hit


[Chorus: DJ Premier]

Full clip, do you wanna mess with this?

Gang Starr, I'm one of the best yet

I'm nice like that

It's all good in this business of rap

Full clip, do you wanna mess with this?

Gang Starr, I'm one of the best yet (The-the-the best yet)

I'm nice like that

It's all good, so I suggest you take a rest

F-f-f-full clip, f-f-f-full clip
