The meaning of the name
GangStarr, well I'll tell ya
It means How far 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 on floppy disc
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
Cain and Abel, 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'mma wet them
In other words destroy boy,
and then claim my fame...
This is the meaning of the
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 indeed our 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
