| Description | Gang Starr create a track about lending a helping hand, whether providing for them financially or giving them information to keep them out of trouble trying to chase money. DJ Premier said the following about the track: Guru came up with the concept. We have a lot of friends who need to borrow a lot of money or needs this or that. They’re always in the pen and they always turn to us. It’s sometimes annoying when they ask too much, but every now and then if you need a loan, it’s all good because they’re our loved ones. And sometimes you don’t even get the loan back, [laughs] but it’s all good. It comes with the territory. These days if someone asks, I’ll just say no, especially at my age. [laughs] |
| Lyrics | [Intro: Man and Guru] Yo yo Gu-rizzi, yo Yo whassup son? Yo man, youknowhatImean? I need this money man Get up out in these, in these streets man Yo, so what's the deal God? I'm sayin, what you need though? Yo let me have like, two or three, three G's man I'm sayin, I'm sayin son man You know what happened last time though I gotta do what I gotta do man, I gotta eat man Whassup man? Oh your baby momma stressin you? Way past the days of the deuce me and you stays a crew Only a few percent knew what me and you went through We've been sent to dominate, these corny come-lates And set this crooked rap shit straight from Crenshaw to Castlegate Like Pete and CL, I reminisce over days From the streets of Boston to New York and all the ways For certain niggas to blow up, and crime paid But my praise goes to the most high Cause some nights I got so wild yo, I almost died Some stuff I got into, really scarred my mental Pops wasn't tryin to hear it, cause of what he been through Still, like my nigga Havoc said, sometimes you gotta Hit your crew off, so they can make some bread Cause no matter the weather, niggas be needin cheddar And things in this world are more fucked up than ever So let's make this bond to keep this hip-hop strong You a man Baby Pop you know right from wrong So stay out of trouble, and that goes for me too That's what we need to do, that's my advice to you... You remember what happened last time, when you got knocked Doin your thing, sewin shit up on the block You need to stop, fore you get caught again Or you get shot and I lose another friend "Any man with the plan is precise with his life" You might also like"Think twice" My advice to you, cut down on champagne and booze For a nigga like me, most time that shit's bad news It's like lightin a fuse whether it's sneakers or shoes Cause somebody always wanna step up to start a feud It's like Set-tin It Off but not the movie Plus let's get some real women forget floozies and the groupies Cause they spell mad problems from Watts to Harlem And the bullshit won't stop long as the world's revolvin And I recall when niggas knew my pops had clout But they didn't know my sorry ass was gettin kicked out And they was seein if I wanted to come bubble with them And make my ends triple and double with them And get in trouble with them, now memories of them I wear em in my heart like a emblem I doubt we'd ever be bigtime sellin dope coke or dust It's killin us, let's take our people and make a exodus Annhilation, inhalation through the lungs Or extermination, by the use of dirty guns Triple beam dreams and drug schemes of mad cream Could be a sad scene when you go to that extreme "Any man with the plan is precise with his life" "Think twice" "My advice is to you..." |
