The meaning of the name GangStarr, well I'll tell ya
|
It means I find 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 off lots of gifts
|
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
|
Kane and Able, 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'ma wet them
|
in other words destroy boy, and then claim my fame...
|
This is the meaning of the name

[Guru]
|
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 a divine 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...
|
This is the meaning of the name
