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

(DJ Premier Cuts "what Does It All Mean?")

[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'
