[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

One of the meanest and the cleanest
And still I'm kind of fiendish when I'm at this
Been doing this for eons, peons best to catch this
Vision of excellence precise rappin' ability
'Bout to make some dead presidents, macking a million, G
The money though, it's got people acting funny, yo
As soon as some ****** get some light
They be like dummies, yo
Products and puppets and pawns, getting played out
When authentic ****** step up, respect be layed out
Major effect to your sector, I'm the corrector
Live and direct, waving my mic like a sceptor
Supreme exalted, universal leader
Descendent of the kings and queens, the overseer
The overlord, cream of the crop, crème de la crème
Spent years building with cats in the streets, so they my men
Again, Gang Starr has done it
Remember too much jewels back in the days?
You'd have to run it
Check it, the ground be hot under our feet
So we be listening to beats to keep the cypher complete
Whether you kids be holding on the block all day
Or you be puffing lye, out in the back hallway
Or whether you being schooled or in the library
Wherever you are, Baby Pah, realize that your essence
Is divine, son, and let it shine, son, as we refine, son
Ayo, this ****'ll blow your mind, son; we're royalty
Wherever I go, I want to take nothin' less than the best
