You Know My Steez - Gang Starr

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Keith Elam\/Chris E. Martin
[00:00.612] That makes me know that, we we we we're doin
[00:02.716] We had the right idea in the beginning
[00:04.428] And and we just need to maintain our focus, and elevate
[00:07.749] We what we do we update our formulas
[00:09.679] We have certain formulas but we update em (oh right)
[00:12.304] With the times, and everything y'know
[00:14.568] And and so.. y'know
[00:16.251] The rhyme style is elevated
[00:17.848] The style of beats is elevated
[00:19.259] But it's still guru and premier
[00:21.279] And it's always a message involved
[00:24.296]
[00:25.085] \"the real... hip-hop\"
[00:28.700] \"mcing, and djing.. from your own mind, ya know?\"
[00:33.972] \"i, i guess right now we should start the show\"
[00:36.440] Who's the suspicious character strapped with the sounds profound
[00:39.662] Similar to rounds spit by derringers
[00:41.925] You're in the terrordome like my man chuck d said
[00:44.633] It's time to dethrone you clones, and all you knuckleheads
[00:47.538] Cause mc's have used up extended warranties
[00:50.026] While real mc's and dj's are a minority
[00:52.881] But right about now, i use my authority
[00:55.513] Cause i'm like the wizard and you look lost like dorothy
[00:58.323] The horror be when i return for my real people
[01:01.151] Words that split wigs hittin like some double desert eagles
[01:03.835] Sportin caps pulled low, and baggy slacks
[01:06.358] Subtractin all the rappers who lack, over premier's tracks
[01:09.131] Severe facts have brought this rap game to near collapse
[01:11.944] So as i have in the past, i whup ass
[01:13.959] Droppin lyrics that be hotter than *** and candlewax
[01:16.903] And one-dimensional mc's can't handle that
[01:19.520] While the world's revolvin, on it's axis
[01:22.191] I come with mad love and plus the illest warlike tactics
[01:25.064] The wilderness is filled with this; so many people
[01:27.798] Searching for false lift, i'm here with the skills you've missed
[01:30.717] The rejected stone is now the cornerstone
[01:32.993] Sort of like the master builder when i make my way home
[01:35.396] You know my steez...
[01:38.172] \"you know my steez\" --> method man
[01:40.706] \"let em know, do your thing y'all\" \"keep it live\"
[01:44.704] \"to the beat y'all\" --> flavor flav
[01:46.226] The beat is sinister, primo makes you relax
[01:48.638] I'm like the minister, when i be lacin the wax
[01:51.320] I be bringin salvation through the way that i rap
[01:53.994] And you know, and i know, i'm nice like that
[01:56.787] Work through worldly problems, i got the healing power
[01:59.613] When the mic's within my reach, i'm feelin more power
[02:02.072] Stealing at least three minutes of every rap radio hour
[02:04.894] It's often easier for one, to give advice
[02:07.561] Than it is for a person to run one's own life
[02:10.253] That's why i can't be caught up in all the hype
[02:12.967] I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
[02:15.484] The apparatus gets blessed, and suckers get put to rest
[02:18.351] No more of the unpure i got the cure for this mess
[02:20.864] The wackness is spreadin like the plague
[02:23.359] Mc's lucked up and got paid but still can't make the ****** grade
[02:26.419] How many times are wannabe's gonna lie?
[02:28.713] Yo they must wanna fry, they can't touch the knowledge i personify
[02:32.622] I travel through the darkness carrying my torch
[02:35.305] The illest soldier, when i'm holding down the fort
[02:37.777] (\"you know my steez\" --> method man)
[02:38.167] You know my steez...
[02:39.357] \"let em know, do your thing y'all\" \"keep it live\"
[02:42.891] \"you know my steez\" --> method man
[02:44.501] *repeat 4x with very last line modified as follows*
[02:59.759] \"the mic...\"
[03:00.698] On the microphone you know that i'm one of the best yet
[03:03.395] Some punks, ain't paid all of their debts yet
[03:06.190] Tryin to be fly, ridin high on the jet-set
[03:09.081] With juvenile rhymes makin fake-ass death threats
[03:11.566] Big deal, like en vogue, here's something you can feel
[03:14.449] Styles more tangible, and image more real
[03:16.747] For some time now, i've held the scrolls and manuscripts
[03:19.376] When it's time to go all out you be like, \"damn he flipped\"
[03:22.083] Now i'm sick, fed up with the bull*************t
[03:24.734] Got the lyrical full clip, giving you a verbal asswhip
[03:27.409] Don't trip it's the gifted prolific one
[03:29.973] Known as bald head slick -- why is the press all on my di-*************?
[03:33.050] My style be wilder, than a kamikaze pilot
[03:35.572] Don't try it, i'm about to start more than a friggin riot
[03:38.600] Styles unsurpassable, and nuccas that's suckas, yo
[03:42.021] Them mother******s are harrassable
[03:43.919] For i be speaking from my parables and carry you beyond
[03:46.959] The mic's either a magic wand
[03:48.662] Or it gets tragic like the havoc of a nuclear bomb
[03:51.314] Then i grab your palm, no pulse you're gone
[03:54.002] And if you thought we'd lose our niche in this rap *************t you way wrong
[03:57.197] I stay up, i stay on, *************ne bright, like neon
[03:59.697] Your song's, pathetic, synthetic, like rayon
[04:02.298] Fat beats, they play on, want **** rhymes, put me on
[04:05.019] Word is bond... you know my steez
