| It’s '89, mine, I’m Keithy E. the Guru
|
| Premier is here with the flair, we’re running to you
|
| Bust your grill with skill, as we build and fulfill
|
| I drop the wisom to quiz them, with precision we drill
|
| We’re kicking wannabes down cause we’re gonna be down
|
| We’re moving on with the sound, see we’re gonna be around
|
| For a long time, I kick the strong rhymes
|
| You’re empty-handed and stranded cause you were standing in the wrong line
|
| This is not the fate is for sure a pure pen
|
| The gift is hitting home on your dome because we meant it
|
| You’ll need a graffiti, don’t heed and you’ll be bleeding
|
| We’ll rip you, and ship you back and you’ll be repeating
|
| The progress, and I guess that you should be told now
|
| Lo and behold how the stroll I unfold now
|
| Knowledge, wisdom, and peace are what I’m true to
|
| In the rear is Premier, and I’m the Guru
|
| I sound greater because I’m head of the comittee
|
| I chill in New York City, I’m witty, so get me
|
| To Brooklyn, so I can ill and peace no joke
|
| You slow poke, you’ll go broke, you’re rhymes ain’t all that dope
|
| So take a backseat, with all your wack beats
|
| This is the one phase of my rage and onstage I slap eats
|
| For you to try to steal this, I will reveal this
|
| Like a prophet, I’ll drop it, Premier will start to seal
|
| This coffin to be chewing, you soft and you’ll be doing
|
| A dance with some ants in the ground, you clowns be chewing
|
| But you could never get this, the talents we’ve been blest with
|
| So many different ways to phrase, you shouldn’t mess with the Guru
|
| So here’s the verdict, cause all you suckers know you’re booty
|
| You’re played out, you’ll fade out, I doubt that you can do me
|
| We ain’t having no gabbing, when I be grabbing and jabbing
|
| In your ear like a spear prepare your body for battling
|
| Cause you’ve been preparing to move, you’ll be certain to lose
|
| Open your eyes up, wise up while I work with the groove
|
| To teach your next school, who’ll be the next fool?
|
| That I can stomp down with compound nouns but like a pestule
|
| Come back with dumb raps, then like a tech inside
|
| I’ll take you out your misery you ought to step aside
|
| Your weak rap, you speak that yang so Imma clue you
|
| The DJ’s name is Premier, and I’m the Guru
|
| I’m telling you, '89 is mine. |
| Peace |
