[00:20.47][Verse 1: Guru]
[00:20.72]One of the meanest and the cleanest
[00:22.06]And still I'm kind of fiendish when I'm at this
[00:24.01]Been doing this for eons, peons best to catch this
[00:26.20]Vision of excellence precise rappin' ability
[00:29.02]'Bout to make some dead presidents, macking a million, G
[00:31.96]The money though, it's got people acting funny, yo
[00:34.85]As soon as some ****** get some light
[00:36.75]They be like dummies, yo
[00:37.61]Products and puppets and pawns, getting played out
[00:39.80]When authentic ****** step up, respect be layed out
[00:42.56]Major effect to your sector, I'm the corrector
[00:44.26]Live and direct, waving my mic like a sceptor
[00:47.76]Supreme exalted, universal leader
[00:50.21]Descendent of the kings and queens, the overseer
[00:52.24]The overlord, cream of the crop, crème de la crème
[00:55.79]Spent years building with cats in the streets, so they my men
[00:58.49]Again, Gang Starr has done it
[01:00.69]Remember too much jewels back in the days?
[01:02.99]You'd have to run it
[01:03.74]Check it, the ground be hot under our feet
[01:06.10]So we be listening to beats to keep the cypher complete
[01:08.85]Whether you kids be holding on the block all day
[01:11.30]Or you be puffing lye, out in the back hallway
[01:13.90]Or whether you being schooled or in the library
[01:16.55]Wherever you are, Baby Pah, realize that your essence
[01:19.40]Is divine, son, and let it shine, son, as we refine, son
[01:22.70]Ayo, this ****'ll blow your mind, son; we're royalty
[01:26.30][Hook: K-Ci and JoJo]
[01:26.55]Wherever I go, I want to take nothin' less than the best
[01:29.65]Whatever I choose, I choose to do
[01:32.25]I have to stand out from all the rest
[01:34.95]Whatever I do, wherever I go
[01:37.55]I want to take nothin' less than the best
[01:40.20]Whatever I choose, I choose to do
[01:42.74]I just wanna stand out from all the rest
[01:45.36][Verse 2: Guru]
[01:45.56]And all the girls they want to spoil me
[01:47.31]My honey anoints me with oils, G
[01:49.07]After work she greets me, and treats me like royalty
[01:51.66]Works with me, giving herself, by my side
[01:53.97]She don't sweat me for loot, my fame, or my ride
[01:56.63]A lot of ladies out there be lookin' lovely
[01:59.22]But they don't got no control of their life, inside they're ugly
[02:02.16]Word to Bugsy, and to Red Alert
[02:04.56]Sway and Tech, and Funkmaster Flex to make your head jerk
[02:07.37]Chicks go beserk when they see us in the spot
[02:10.11]K-Ci, JoJo and Primo, creepin' to the top
[02:12.82]And to the sweethearts out there breaking hearts
[02:14.76]While we're taking part of this hip-hop art
[02:17.21]Listen yo, the best way, it ain't always the fast way
[02:20.16]And yes, the best way, it ain't always to act nasty
[02:23.11]I'll open up the door always before you pass me
[02:26.21]Baby Doll, because you're royalty
[02:29.15][Hook: K-Ci and JoJo]
[02:29.35]Wherever I go, I want to take nothin' less than the best
[02:33.25]Whatever I choose, I choose to do
[02:35.89]I have to stand out from all the rest
[02:38.64]Whatever I do, wherever I go
[02:41.14]I want to take nothin' less than the best
[02:43.75]Whatever I choose, I choose to do
[02:46.35]I just wanna stand out from all the rest
