Gang Starr 2 Steps Ahead Lyrics

2 Steps Ahead Lyrics

[Guru]
Chumps tryin me, but when they eyein me
I build in skills, and to enhance my chances
I`m thrilled, to be involved with solvin
all the problems, with the way that the sound
has gone down, so I frown at the scene
where you be takin it, and like the winds of change
I`ll be breakin it up, shakin it up
Clearing it out, airing it out, and bearing the clout
on my chest, like a crest that rests
on a tidal wave, only the good I`ll save
when I plunge, and engulf the ones
who aren`t sons, who converse with ? and make friends
Yo, I recommend that you get back there
and sit back there, contemplate, calculate
and concentrate on these rhymes, that I picked to stick
to your mind, and then I`ll raise you straight
to the next phase, cause I will amaze
with much force, and like the power that comes
from the source, which is greater and stronger, of course
If you didn`t know, I will tell you
That all the blind no-minds I give Hell to
And if you comprehend what is said
Then you`ll be stayin two steps ahead

"one, two" steps ahead
"one, two" steps ahead

"one, two" * cut and scratched by Premier *

[Guru]
I can`t work with, those jerks who front
with the mic, cause I never liked fabrications
Wack creations that lack authenticity
For some time in my mind I`ve been wishin the
fiends who do would just yield
And at the foot of my bed, I have kneeled
Thus revealed as a gift I have nurtured
and I hurt ya if you`re not knowin
That the musical need is now growin
And like a man obsessed, I must
go all out, show all out, blow all out
throw all out, get on out of my path
Cause I laugh at the ones with no gas
I surpass the class to get geesed
like the way the ballistic`s released
And I won`t cease til I cap them
or slap the saps with my rappin
Continue on with my journey
All the negative ones don`t concern me
My eyes are wise, I got cause to live
positive, have to give, every way
every day of my life, so I fight for the right
and get hype, so heed what I feed
and get fed, then you`ll be livin two steps ahead

"one, two" steps ahead
"one, two" steps ahead

"one, two" * cut and scratched by Premier *

[Guru]
I`m way ahead of you, yes I`m on top
It`s me instead of you, with the lyrics you fear it
so get near it, and then you`ll hear it clear
and concise, cause I paid the price to be
talking here, rocking there, shocking here
stop and stare, then compare if you wish
Because the others fess, I insist
So I will assist you to blend with this
bend with this, tend with this, fend with this
As I ascend with my orals
You define and defy with high morals
And at the spot I will stop to throw darts
at the ones who proclaim with no aim
cause they don`t hold the fame, they`re on mine
And since I`m well inclined and divine
I will have to ask you to come in
Move along with the tongue and the drummin
Progress and let the blessings be read
and you`ll be staying two steps ahead

"one, two" steps ahead
"one, two" steps ahead

"one, two" * cut and scratched by Premier *
