[DJ Premier Scratching]
"My Microphone"
"It's skills"
"The funky beat"
"It's skills"

[Hook: Guru]
(Skills) Top rank, point blank, we vital
Spit flows, rip shows, peep the recital
(Skills) Now you feel it when we drop those
Hot beats stop foes, killing shit we got those
(Skills) It's the music that the street love
Each thug is now repping this with deep love
(Skills) Gang Starr dueling again, ruling again
Watch as we do it again

[Verse 1: Guru]
It's the true and living with a youthful vengeance
And I'm a Judge Mathis your ass give you a crucial sentence
You need at least twelve jewels to practice
You're too enthusiastic, male groupie bastard
Still trying to convince us some more
Pretending you're raw, that's what you'll need a minister for
Again it's the law, we got you up against the wall
We the gulliest, fuck it then it's us against y'all
Mic skills type grills like I'm Michael Jill
Like when he write for the pill is how I stifle the ill
Slide off kid, and let a grown man finesse it
We bold and impressive that old I manifest shit
Some new product from a known team
Niggas know me, and you can bet they know Preme
So here we go for your stereo
And you could tell that it's real when you hear me go

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Guru]
You little suckers know better, I go head up
If your man left the joint in the whip then tell him go get it
We hold it down like a holy crown
Fools acting like they know me throw me phoney pounds
Fuck that I'm sitting back like an aristocrat
Shell shocked chief assassin with a whole fucking list of cats
Thought you was on the case but you missed the fact
Your bitch talking this and that, I'm a make it simple jack
I doubled up and tripled that, soldiers where your pistols at?
Life wrong move lose the gift of that
Why they calling us the most consistent, most significant
("Once again") some old slick shit
Fulfil your need and catch a joyful rush
Enjoy your dutch, haters annoyed with us
Homeboy it's us, you know the face from the club
Blazing a dub, with my niggas raising it up
For these...

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Guru]
Brothers are amused by other brother's reps
Some niggas pull Tecs, catch others for checks
All for respect, all for the bread
For the chance of success they might hand him his head
Remain humble cause I know enough
Plus the road is tough, especially when you roll with us
But I'm a stay with my peeps, stay in these streets
Rhyme spraying and I'm playing for keeps
Cause I got those...

[Hook]
